It's not impossible matchup as people are talking, your main goal is to dodge his silence, so instead of going full combo on him and getting silenced and f*cked up in the middle of it, try to walk toward him and bait out his Q, when he head toward you with silence, E away from him to negate damage or even dodge it completly, than you have chance to kill him. Still hard matchup , play safely.
Jax
You have to beat him in early stages, cause he is late game champion and will wreck you later
Pantheon
Hard poke, high damage. Max E to negate damage from Q, when trading E to him to avoid damage burst from W and Q, then unleash full combo.
Yasuo
Very skill oriented matchup
Fiora
Like Yasuo, very skill dependant matchup
Tahm Kench
After some nerfs on him, he will be easier to play against, but still not pleasant champ to deal with
Renekton
If played by a player who knows what is Renekton capable of you'll have a hard time facing him in lane.
Teemo
Freaking nightmare!!! No brain required for him to blind you and rekt you with his E. Only advise is to max E (shield), rush Maw of Malmortius and Merc boots and ask your jungler for ganks. Farm as much as you can.
Darius
Darius was always superior to Riven when we are talking about same skill level of both players. Still there is a little space for you to come out as a winner from this matchup
Irelia
It's hard to deal with God-tier champion in lane. This matchup depends heavily on your patience and not going in for unneccesary trades.
Rengar
You said something kitty?
Volibear
As tanky top laners are still dominant over bruiser top laners, this matchup won't make it easy for you neither.
Gnar
Once you go in there is no coming back! Don't be afraid to all-in him.
Swain
Meta God-tier champ. Hard times :(
Vladimir
Nothing much to add to Swain's description. Good luck :)
Kha'Zix
Why you came to top lane?
Cho'Gath
Play some slither.io in meantime cause you won't see kill on this guy if he decides to play safe.
Illaoi
Really retarded champ with no sense at all. Outcome of this matchup depends heavily on your skill and mechanics with Riven.
Trundle
Another meta strong as hell toplaner.Play safe, ask for ganks.
Singed
Toxic.
Graves
Not so often pick, but can create certain kind of problems if enemy player is skilled
Xin Zhao
I don't see a reason why would someone pick him on top, but in case he get's there, you shouldnt be worried.
Kennen
Do not underestimate his damage.
Quinn
You engage, she blind's you. Repeat. Just farm and don't do any stupid things that would f*ck your laning phase.
I main Riven, and for me she is very fun champion to play with, and has a lot of space to improve with. Riven is a very mobile champion, she can jump over walls and scales ridiculously well with AD. She does require mechanics to be efficent. Riven has lots of "counters" but there will be less of them as you improve skills with her.
