IF you are a decent Riven player, you can win this lane with some effort from your end. One of my friends is Riven Main and he has played this matchup so many times that Garen actually stopped being a counter for him xD

Besides, complaining about it won't change anything :P I don't cri everitim whenever someone locks in Darius when I pick Dr. Mundo. I just play it safe (like SUPER SAFE) and wait for ganks. GG AFK...

haha, I wish a lot of people would be reading your words my friend. There is nothing more hilarious when they don't know their limits and going all-in without any help and when they are dead start to blame the jungler who was at the other side of the map :D

sorry for the off topic.

When the enemy team picks Riven I'm like, well, we're all screwed. That's what I think though. Don't know a lot of champs that counter Riven.

This is what I don't understand about people. You don't have to be playing a specific champion to counter others, you only have to adjust your current playstyle. In Riven's case it is enough NOT to feed her and follow her roams, it is that simple. Of course, it is a lot easier to play if you try to counter-pick, but my point is that you don't have to.

Attending to your question, I'd say Fiora, Renekton, Jax and Darius are pretty good against Riven. Basically, any champion with a decently good early game can screw her up.

Or Cho'Gath uses Feral Scream, it is super effective! Oh, and it is also super effective rushing Frozen Heart. He has sustain for days, Riven none. And did I already mention that Cho'Gath's base AD + E combo does more damage than the combo of Passive + AD from Riven? The only time Riven ever has kill pressure on Cho'Gath is level 1-2, after that, nah, nothing Riven can really do.

This is an easy matchup. Renekton/Cho are much harder counters.
