Is Riven better when played alongside Annie?
There is no universally accepted best synergy for Riven that will 100% of the time be her top synergy. However, overall, Annie is a relatively poor ally for Riven. By being on the same team as Riven, she decreases their win rate by -1.8% to 48.3%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad strategic relationship between Riven and Annie that results in them performing worse together than without each other.
Annie has a lower difficulty than Riven. That means you don't need to be cautious when finding Annie comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to play well with you.
Playing alongside, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Combined, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Although, by aligning Riven and Annie together, you probably will not be granting your team very much protection for burst damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that nullifies this disparity in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Annie ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
