Hi, I am currently in Bronze 2 in ranked. I was interested in playing Riven as top lane but her AA canceling was too hard. Also, her kiting was hard for me since I am currently in low elo. So I was wondering if a high ranked coach out there, or at least a Riven main out there that would be willing to help me in mastering Riven, I would like to thank you. You can add me IGN or my skype.

Dont play Riven. If you want to climb dont play someone that takes skill.
It doesn't take skill to play 
Just do the following:
Q,Q,Q, auto, auto, auto, auto, auto, auto, ignite= first blood.
Im not saying her skill set takes skill im saying her playstyle does.
The best way to learn Riven is to face a Riven. It's then you see her strengths and weaknesses. I've played against a lot of them and I've picked up a lot about her, but I still refuse to play her.
Typical combo goes Q AA Q AA E Q AA W AA R and if you aren't dead by that time, you saw it coming and have high mobility or tankiness (Which is what you should have if you are top anyways, says Gnar player).
I've seen most of them disregard health items but the most Annoying Riven players were the ones who build AD tank items like Steraks, Black Cleaver, and Maw of Malmordeous. They weren't squishy enough for me to burst down normally and they usually played decently compared to the tryhards I usually faced.
Another tip I gave to someone else: Play support for a while. Just like, 2 weeks. Try to teach yourself map awareness and the best warding spots. There's a quote "Top lane is an Island." You will probably be alone up there. Expecting a gank from the enemy jungler is terrifying, but having the awareness and vision (Which by the way, Top is just a reflected bottom, which everyone should know by now) of a support, you should know where to best ward and keep yourself safe when your jungler is out of reach (Or in your division, has everyone muted).
Riven is very difficult to play well with. Even if you are fed You need to know how to make picks against fed squishes while dodging their teamamtes peel and avoid getting kited. If you don't get fed you are mostly useless.
Don't worry about auto or animation cancels, work on game knowledge/sense. Be a better player then your lane opponent and you could play ad hiemer to gold np.
