@C4bal:

lol! I laughed when you said, "you don't have to bumrush everyone in top lane".

I couldn't agree more. I don't get why some Riven players think that Riven has to always be able to completely dominate her lane opponent or else it's considered a counter to Riven. Riven's kit being just so damn strong has been taken for granted that it's come to the point whereby if Riven isn't stomping from level 1 to 18 then some players consider her countered. Just ridiculous.

Just like Riven, Nasus scales really well into late game. Nasus even has a considerably weak early game compared to Riven and Garen. But if Nasus turns the lane into a farm lane against a Garen then Nasus has basically won. Why is there this double standard for Riven then?

A: Because a lot of players take her OP-ness for granted
