Advice to Understand How Riven Will Play
Riven lacks a source of healing or strong defense and must compensate with burst combos. Lead into fights with Broken Wings and Ki Burst, while using Valor to escape and absorb counter-harass.
Riven's Broken Wings locks onto the champion your cursor is over at the time of cast. If you want to move past your opponent, make sure that your cursor is past your opponent as well.

Overall, Lux sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Riven. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

When Lux is paired with Riven, she observes a little increase in her complete damage output. This difference could indicate that Riven supports by providing protection for her to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Lux is played alongside Riven on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Riven.
Additionally, when Lux plays with Riven on the same side, she on average receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could indicate that Riven does a decent job of protecting Lux during teamfights.

Is Lux better when played alongside Riven?
There is no ideal champion pairing for Lux that will always be her #1 teammate. Yet, overall, Riven is a very typical teammate for Lux. By locking into the same side as Lux, she lowers their win rate by -0.2% to 49.6%. This proves that there is a weak synergy between Lux and Riven that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
Riven has a greater difficulty than Lux. That means you must be cautious when lining up Riven teammates to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.
Working alongside, Lux players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide utility and CC for your side. Combined, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.
Conversely, by pairing Lux and Riven together, you will not be providing your other allies a great deal of protection for burst damage. Make sure to have other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of your Riven ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
