However, the actual content needs some love, there are a few key things I disagree with and I'll try and explain my reasoning with each one
- Rushing Warmog's is ruining Riven's immense capability to snowball, you should always be looking to start the game with the mindset that if you get an early advantage you will spiral out of control, take your Bloodthirster much earlier, and look to dominate your lane.
Rushing Warmog's of course is a safe choice in lane, but ultimately, you're not living up to Riven's potential
- The build is too tanky, yes you're on off tank, but ultimately you need to be a threat to your opponents, build more glass cannon, and take a GA, they either focus you which is incredibly hard due to your immense mobility, or let you roam free ultimately unleashing hell on their carries
- I don't understand your skill order, yes there's room for debate over whether Valor/Broken Wings should be taken second, but Ki Burst is essential in every aspect of top lane, the low CD allows you to escape and set up ganks much more effectively
A tanky Riven is viable my friend, but ultimately, you're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, and there's much better options in the LoL roster than Riven
