General Discussionriki suck or good now for carry

i think he is fine either way
his roaming isnt as good, but his snowball potential is high as a carry
im in 2k so keep that in mind but here is a game i had
https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3576733705

not viable if there is hard support :) i prefer him as pos 4 or 5. i sometimes pick him to counter storm, QoP and Puck if silencer as alternative to Silencer.

when was riki bad lol

his 1 is better than his 4 imo, idk how you make anything happen with a roaming 36/38 damage hero in the early game..

Riki have so much potential utility and damage since early

But i see his Tower Damage i want to cry

Max smoke and E

riki is a shit hero no matter what role.

fog cloud is amazing though

and nullifier is almost made for this hero

smoke is the only good spell he has. its really good but you just walk out of it. and yeah nullifier would be good on riki if not for the fact that it gives no agi at all, riki will have a very hard farming one and you need other items.

Yeah

the -4 base agi kinda came out of left field to me, considering what an insanely big nerf it is

-9 damage backstabbing level 1. Nobody cares about your harass anymore.

Yeah Riki isn’t a good roamer anymore. I’d say pos 1 but honestly I’m not sure anymore. All I know is eventually Riki gets difussal then kills my supports

Losing hero 47% wr at 5k+ more low than pango
But idk maybe zdonfrank Will give his opinion about Riki rn

I play riki most of time and he's not really good at now. Can u just playing the usual...like pos4 roamer pls.He cant carry, believe me

His main role was losing all of ur enemy support gold just to counter u

riki is very good, but not as pos 1 due to the nerf on diffusal and early agi stat.

the talent is reworked and the -6s smokescreen is a must.

there is another way to play support riki without diffusal, you can go echo saber first item and kaya / eul /utility for maximum smoke spam.

if echo is not on cooldown and you use ulti, the slow will be applied every 1 seconds.

it shud be lens not kaya kappa
