Consider playing other champions to shake things up? Two weeks is a bit early to say you're maining a champion, not to mention that gameplay might get a little stale. There's nothing wrong with specializing, but it's good to have a few backups.

Riven, well, is an AD caster with an AD scaling shield. You don't have to build tanky to be tanky, but there lies a problem: if you fall behind, you get blown up in teamfights because you didn't snowball.

Consider picking up a couple bruisers, tanks, or even just plain ol' fighters. If you're on tilt, a change of pace might help. I suggest playing champions like... Vi Diana Renekton XinZhao

Riven is like an adc with melee aa range (not including ult boost) with a support kit. You need to do everything to keep an eye on skills and when to use your combos. One small mistake will kill you or force you running for you life. Shield doesn't last long enough but will do the job in trades or fleeing. For build just get ad never tanky (maybe omen as an exception).

Google "Riven Cancel animations" if you haven't learned about those already. Other than that, you can watch some top-tier riven mains such as BoxBox, LordMasterKing and The Shy. They also taught me some cancel animations most tutorials won't include, and certain combo's that are almost universally better than their alternatives. Example: usually you do not want to Triple-Q and then stun. You want to stun either whenever you get in range for it, or if your enemy's mobility allows it go for the optimal route, which is to E-AA-Q-AA-Q-AA-W-AA-Q-AA, assuming you don't have tiamat or ult. This will make you proc your passive every time and not waste any time. The most common non-optimal combo is to E-Q-AA-Q-W-AA-Q-AA, which closes more distance and locks someone up right after you closed some distance again with your second Q. LMK goes for these Q-W combo's a lot, and you'll see how little damage you lose compared to the certainty of damage being dealt because of hard-CC coming into effect if you learn and use these combo's.

That being said, combine this theory with playing hundreds of Riven games. The 10,000th time you do a flash-R-W-AA-R combo to finish off a kill from 50% HP, you will be a lot more comfortable with it than the 1000th time you do it :P

When laning as Riven try to pick up the early advantage if you can. If the lane is going to be hard go cloth 5pot or something to stay in lane till 6. At 6 you basically get a item 1038 when you ult.

When pulling off crazy Riven plays - Make sure to AA in between Q's. That's right, Q-AA-Q-AA-Q-AA-W-AA. Try timing your sheild to absorb the full impact of a lane's ability. by doing this, you reduce the amount of potential damage they can do.

Try charging Qx2 and flashing on someone low, AA-W to surprise them/deal tons of damage. In almost every lane, I recommend rushing item 3134 because everything in it is amazing on Riven. If, however, you are in a hard lane/falling behind. Go double or even triple doran blade.

Try to pick your trades well. If you can't trade, try to sit back and wait for 6 or wait till they mess up.

I hope this helps!
