    My thoughts is Riki was 90% trash, now he's 100% trash. When he was reworked I thought "ok, I have no idea how to build him now, I guess like Ember?". It was alright, but gimmicky. Now that it only effects heroes, I have no idea how to build him. Shitty hero.

      Riki is still a trashcan. There is no reason to pick that hero in cm nor normal games. Aoe is too small to be effective and it only attacks to heroes now like it was too powerfull. When you go out of it, you avoid damage and it attacks only sick times at max. Synergie it with attack speed at least. Even jugger hits in omnislash and they get it out from cm like it can do imba shits.

              I kinda like tricks of the trade, im glad that they nerfed it to "damage to heroes only".

                              I hate the riki buff so much. He'll be more favorite by shitty players especially in pub.

                                Was the author drunk or something like that?

                                hulpje

                                  I maybe start practise lone druid 1/2 patches ago and was kinda struggling to win games. Now pushing, specially highground, is so much easier. With scream you have some free tower time and like 3 seconds is enough to burn half a tower away. Think my winrate raised 5% already.

                                    Riki was already so strong despite the nerfs, even though they certainly felt excessive. Now with bigger damage on his backstab and CD reduction on ult, we will certainly see more of him, too bad they didn't add him to CM.

                                    VoidParticle

                                      ^Yeah what a shame that Valve did the right thing.

                                      frodo

                                        I bet OP was high. I also like to type shit while stoned.

                                        Kiru

                                          Cool, Riki has a 4/5/6 second long Phase-Shift as his ulti. Only 70 seconds cooldown as well, and it costs mana.

                                          Just pick Puck.

                                          Zorthax Dorn

                                            So Riki is even more terrible now.

                                            The new siphon of death prophet will never be as good as witchcraft and seems like a spell completely out of position with her hero.

                                            Voids time walk got nerfed so hard he needs a blink just to land a chrono most reliably so I guess that rules out void hard carry for a long while.

                                            And OD laning phase has been completely destroyed so by the time he's relevant the other teams carrys should be stacked with BKBs so OD has no potential in the team fights anyway.

                                            Great patch lol.

                                              i find it rather upsetting one can no longer farm creeps with riki ulti

                                              valve how could you

                                              Flavalacious

                                                Actually, Riki is OP on "Situational" conditions.

                                                Such as Magnus's RP and Skewer to a setup will definetely be a teamwipe, i have done it three times with a Riki that has 2 BF and a Crit and it is surprisingly good, but will NEVER be beaten by Ember Spirit, because Riki's ult is just a different kind of SoF that has a long long cd

                                                  Silencer - no chance. Curse went from being a no-pick to being either a value level 1 point or no-pick.

                                                    From what I've seen Void is still pretty crap, but then again it may just be the people playing him who are bad. Can't wait for this "figuring out" phase to be over, all my games have been awful today simply because people are being caught off guard by new things or doing random s**t just to find out what something does.

                                                      Ya'll need to hire an editor, this is just getting ridiculous.

                                                      StepGecko

                                                        I like Riki's new ultimate because it seems very 'ninja'.
                                                        For flavour i think it's great. But i haven't seen an effective Riki yet.

                                                        novice

                                                          I find savage roar OK ability cause it can change team fights. But still lone druid is a weak hero cauz you and your bear just auto attack to kill the enemy

                                                          pixelgoo

                                                            Riki's ulti good for flavour and bad for everything else. Too low damage and aoe, just unplayable.

                                                            Cindy_Yupiah

                                                              Riki is trash now, one hit per second ulti with 70s cooldown is very weak compared to Sleight of Fist, and Riki laning is very bad now..

                                                              Konson

                                                                Now Riki goes invis AND has backstab at lvl1, why is laning stage bad now? I'm confused, did I miss anything? Anyway, Riki still is the hero I hate to see picked in my team, as he's been and still is a weak hero. Changing subject now, y'all people are complaining about typos in text, saying to hire a new guy, but his text is still readable and I love his commentaries&analisis (yeah I might just be a noob, but this guy asserts well imo, and his texts are very didactic). Dotabuff isn't gonna lose visitors because of this guy; it'll probably be the other way around. Nice post Skim, kudos.

                                                                                  diredude

                                                                                    LD used to be weak against early initiation heroes like Slark, Storm, QoP, etc. Now, one can be flexible with his build and be more defensive with added points on Savage Roar instead of Rabid.

                                                                                    AD2P - DotaMau5

                                                                                      Make Riki with a skadi. The move slow keeps them in the aoe, and the extra agi gives him more backstab damage, and get a maelstrom for wave clear and procs during the ultimate instead of battlefury. The additional attack speed should be amazing with backstab. He's still probably not good, but that should make him a bit better.

                                                                                      Od is fine in lane. Max the passive first, interchanging with the orb (which you then max second). Take maybe a point in the trap if you need to teamfight early, but as it does aoe you end up pushing lane, which you don't want until later anyways.

                                                                                      I haven't tried void or prophet yet, so I can't say anything there.

                                                                                      Z0mBi3

                                                                                        Riki used to be more pain in the ass, but now he is less good and not as annoying. He was better at roaming and ganking before when he had more agillity and better regen. Now he is just trashy. and if you build bf on him you just delay the diffusal blade, which hurt his dmg gain and also makes it easier for the other team to just dust him out and kill him.

                                                                                        I'm happy pudge is more meta now, he felt a little out of place in the last patch vs so many escape heroes like qop, wind etc. I like his buffs, I hope to see him in some pro-games, he is fun to watch & play imo :)

                                                                                        しごと

He doesn't even show up in that many games unless you're 3k or below?? He was never the meta at anything above 4k?
