Riven is "squishy", and adds a lot of counterplay to her

Both statements are technically correct, but completely wrong in practice. The fact that she's squishy is damn near moot, because unless your team has 4 stuns to blow on her, she's going to get kills. Lots of kills. It doesn't even matter if she has a bad lane phase because her scaling into late game requires one item before gg. And her counterplay is a fucking joke, seeing as both her R and her passive let her just right click you and 3shot anyone without more than one hp+armor item.

I know saying riven is balanced is a long running joke, but that joke has been going on since release. Can we please for the love of god make her a mana champ. Her voice emote even fucking says she's broken. Riot acknowledged it.

Ugh... what one item are we talking about that makes her unstoppable? It certainly isn't Brutalizer, since that falls off after one Armor item. Ravenous Hydra? I know it has some life steal, but not enough to survive a 3 v 1 unless you're running three supports. Where is this power that you speak of? What are you building that offers no counter to a single item Riven? It would make some sense if single item Riven is up against three underleveled players, but that's not what you're trying to say here.

If riven doesn't get kills IN lane she is completely useless. At full build, I would rather have basically any other champion then her because frozenheart and randuins combined make it so she can not do anything.

Riven is actually is a eally bad place right now against people who know how to face her because she is like old and new fiora: feast or famine. She gets ahead in lane and it snowballs, but she falls behind, and she does literally nothing.

Her no mana source abilities is the only reason i love playing her. I can spam all my abilities to farm and actually get most minions. If she became mana dependent, i'd just give up top lane in general and would have to find a new lane as my secondary.
