fair point ill explain in the items when i do them, but all riven really needs is attack damage in the early game because her evasion is so high you dont need to extra armor or magic resist or health because for the most part a riven player can choose when to take damage or not and even then, this emence amount of attack damage you get not only sets you up for later items but also adds to your sheild and survive-ability not the mention the attack damage it adds to your ult which is good for ksing :P, so you end up making the money for your survive-ability very quickly which you gain from blood razor, and the phage, as well as the brutaliser because it lowers the cool down on your escape and shield. so yeah lots of attack damage early on riven is better then getting say 1 and a ruby for health, because if your taking damage generally its because "you" engaged and the more damage you have the faster they die and the more your shield absorbs. No matter how good or bad your going, you should always be able to afford these quickly to either get you further ahead or to catch up. and finally if you vs another ad based character who is going for a bf sword as so many do it takes alot of time to get that 1650 gold required you will rarely get that much in 1 back out, usually takes 2 or 3 times depending on how good your farm is, however in the time they are saving you are getting a small but noticeable attack damage advantage before they get their huge 45 point rise. i hope that explains why. :D
There is a guide to make guides on this forum somewhere, you can probably find it on top of my rammus build, it really helps make your guide look even better :)
