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

This change may indicate that Vex helps provide protection for her to deal more damage or that their support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Riven is played with Vex on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Vex.

Is Riven better when played alongside Vex?

There is no top synergy for Riven that will always be her top teammate. Yet, overall, Vex is a very typical ally for Riven. By being on the same side as Riven, they decreases their win rate by -1.0% to 49.1%. This proves that there is not really a strong synergy between Riven and Vex that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Vex has a much lower diffuclty than Riven. That means you don't need to be careful when enlisting Vex 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 fight well with you.

Working together, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by grouping Riven and Vex together, you probably will not be giving your side much magic damage. Plan to pick other champions on your team that helps cover this relative gap in their potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Vex ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
