I don't see how riven is a counter to vlad. It's seems to be the exact situation as against everyone else; vlad has a sucky (very) few levels, then jet propelled acceleration of sustain. Just keeping a proper distance seems to be all that's required. Despite her damage, the cooldowns spent to reach him means a pool just stops the assault almost compeltely and then u-turn to heal right back - no need to have the intention to kill, then eventual wall of sustain.

Every situation that's supposed to counter him seems to be eventually addressed by his sustain, which is just ridiculously oppressive. Syndra honestly feels like the only genuine counter with the safe poke combined with personal sustain with chalice, peel and burst, which transitions to a stalemate with the sustain.
