So, this is my build for Riven solo top, I use it even in Ranked games, and I must say, I usually rule. I don't think there is a similar build, if there is, I didn't see it, since I started using this build through my own testings with Riven.
Here is a little image to prove that i'm not lying about using it in ranked and obtaining good scores

So, hope you like it.
What began as war quickly became extermination. Noxian soldiers followed the terrifying Zaunite war machines across fields of death. It wasn't the glorious combat for which Riven trained. She carried out the orders of her superiors, terminating the remnants of a beaten and fractured enemy with extreme prejudice. As the invasion continued, it became clear that the Ionian society would not be reformed, merely eliminated. During one bitter engagement, Riven's unit became surrounded by Ionian forces. They called for support as the enemy closed in around them. What they received instead was a barrage of biochemical terror launched by Singed. Riven watched as around her Ionian and Noxian alike fell victim to an unspeakably gruesome fate. She managed to escape the bombardment, though she could not erase the memory. Counted dead by Noxus, she saw an opportunity to start anew. She shattered her sword, severing ties with the past, and wandered in self-imposed exile - on a quest to seek atonement and a way to save the pure Noxian vision in which she believed.
''There is a place between war and murder / in which our demons lurk.''

However, after many games played with riven, i find this to be very good. It gives you nice lane consistency, since you get your health back pretty fast from minions, and it also helps if you rush

Then, after wriggle's, you get




The rest of the build is pretty much the usual for most Solo-top champions, so im not going to talk about it...


So, first off, to buy Atma's you would have to sell one of the previous items on the build. let's start by saying we sell

By doing so, you will get:
+15 armor (Wriggle's already gave you 30, so the difference between Atmas and Wriggle's is 15)
+56 attack damage (With full build, you will have 3957 Health, so, from the passive of Atma's Impaler you get +79AD, and since Wriggle's gave you 23AD, the difference is 56)
+18% critical strike chance
On the other side, you will lose:
- 15% lifesteal
- That free ward you get from wriggle's, which is important, believe me, but nothing extraordinary I'll give you that.
So, selling


Another thing is, selling

well, I think this is pretty much a dumb idea.
You see, the AD difference between both items, will be very low, since Atma's will be giving you 79, like mentioned before, and Bloodthirster will give you 60+1AD and 0.25% lifesteal for each kill you get, without dying. Well, my average scores with Riven are 8/1, 7/0, and stuff like that, Riven dies very few times, so she will get AT least 68AD from Bloodthirster without any problem, and 17% lifesteal
Now, as I see it, the only reason to sell Bloodthirster and buy Atma's, is if you want to get more tanky, since you will get +45armor, which will make you get a total of 152 armor. Pretty good.
So, everything is said, and frankly, it's up to you to decide wether to buy Atma's or not. I still think that the build works really well without it, but will undoubtedly work well with it too.
Go to your turret, just start by last hitting minions dont push, AND , this is IMPORTANT, know when to use your

In the early game, you can use this to completely destroy you opponent development. When you see he is about to last-hit the minion, Approach, and



Or, if you are low on hp, just use


Farm carefully until you hit lvl 6 and get your ulti

When you get your ulti...Well, you will probably own, IF you know how to use it.
Let your opponent push the lane, then, when you see an opening, Stun him with your W, land 2-3 basic attacks, Use


Well done, you have now taken the advantage and will own the game ;)
Malphite ok this guy will be quite troublesome, for two reasons, and those are: First one - Malphite has that ****ing shield popping up all the times, what makes him pretty hard.
Second one - Malphite usually builds with ARMOR, and his damage goes up as he stacks it. So, much probably, malphite will haveThornmail as soon as he can, which will be tough for you.
Nasus Not as tough as Malphite, but that life-steal from his passive will be pretty annoying and make it hard to bring him down. That, and his ultimate ofcourse, will be a nightmare for you. But if you don't let him farm as I told you before, you will be alright.
Garen Okay, garen actually only is on this list because of the players who DON'T know how to play riven... You see, Garen is usually a very tough solo laner, but mostly because of his
Judgment. So, if you just use your
Ki Burst to stop it,and get away from it, you will be alright
