From the enemy's side — Skarner's page lists Riven among its hardest matchups.
Data from another lane — No row for this exact lane — verdict is based on their matchups elsewhere.
Stronger start — Riven's level-1 stats beat Skarner's — press from wave one.

How to play it

Press early
Riven is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
Cut the healing
Skarner sustains — Chempunk Chainsword on your first back.
Physical resistance
Skarner deals physical damage — a matching defensive item as your 2nd or 3rd item.
Long fights
Skarner is a tank — build sustained damage and keep hitting; burst won't do it.
