Intro
I have been playing alot of Riven recently, and I've been quite succesful!
As of now, I don't have the required time to make a whole guide, so for now I'm just going to give you some parts of it. I will finish it whenever I have time.
If you want any in-depth guide with Riven, there are many guides out there!
Also, please read the whole guide before voting.
Here is a guide that I recommend if you do not find my guide useful at its current state.

Many of you might wonder why I max

It's because it gives you the most total damage! Sure it doesn't have the highest AD Ratio, but it can be used 3 times. Now this gives you great damageif mixed with

Sure you can max

So

I get
Doran's Blade whenever I don't go top solo, because of the +100HP and +10AD.
As for the boots, I get
Ionian Boots of Lucidity, since you need as much CDR as possible for Riven, since her abilites have a decent CD.
I get a
Phage to counter some of
Riven's squishieness early game.
I get an
Infinity Edge aswell, for the sustained damage output.
I build a
Bloodthirster after my
Infinity Edge just because it's too risky for me early-mid game to grab a bloodthirster before my
Infinity Edge. "Why?" You may ask. Well, it's because you lose all of your Thirster stacks whenever you die. And since you are still kind of squishy, and easy to kill when focused, it's not worth the Bloodthirster before the IE IMO.
The
Frozen Mallet. Now this, this is what makes up for
Riven's squishieness! By now you should either be fed or just simply hard to kill.
After your mallet the defensive items are situational!!! Don't downvote the guide simply because my defensive item's doesn't counter your enemy team!
I also get my
Hexdrinker. This is just if they have any AP's on the enemy team, that usually kills me or just hurts alot. It works wonders on
Riven since it gives u AD aswell. But don't use this if the enemy team is stupid enough to go with only AD champs. (Rarely happens, but it does happen every now and then.) If they do go all AD, just build something else, what you build is up to you.
Thornmail is by far my favorite defensive item in LoL, if they got any good AD's on their team. It is just.. awesome! Of course you won't be using this if they all went with AP's (Also, rarely happens), if they do it's up to you what you build.

This is just my personal rune page.
I find that the extra Armor pen from Greater Mark of Desolation is very helpful through out the whole game. Armor pen will help you more than pure AD runes will, so I recommend using Armor penen not AD runes.
As for the
Greater Seal of Armor,
Riven is very squishy early game, and she needs that extra armor boost.
I take
Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction aswell, since Riven isn't an auto attack champion most of the time.
She depends on her cooldowns, so I recommend getting CDR.
