Tips for Playing as Riven with Sivir
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.
Advice to Understand How Sivir Will Play
Sivir's Boomerang Blade returns to her after reaching the max range, so you can shift position to hit enemies who would otherwise have evaded it.
Try saving Spell Shield for enemy abilities that can disable you such as stuns and roots.
Ricochet resets Sivir's basic attack timer on activation, so activating this immediately after landing a normal basic attack will maximize damage output.

This change may demonstrate that Sivir does not help cover for her to deal more damage or that her participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Riven is played together with Sivir on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Sivir. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Sivir.
Additionally, when Riven plays with Sivir on the same team, she on average takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage may mean that Sivir does a poor job of covering Riven during team fights.

This clearly indicates that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Riven and Sivir that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Sivir has a much lower diffuclty than Riven. That means Riven players don't need to be very careful when lining up Sivir teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
Playing alongside, Riven players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by pairing Riven and Sivir together, you may not be granting your team very much AP. Plan to bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their playstyle.
Regardless of your Sivir ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
