                intresting article,Forever Rikimaru! =)

                harooooo

                  wtf, one does not simply buy armlet or play riki as support, had 2 games with him today, bought a casual wind lace and OoV, and went the classic Diffusal , SNY , vlads and basher, first game had 17/2 second one had 18/0 and even bought a divine rapier, altough I dont know how much my opinion matters since I am a 1900 mmr player

                    well i think echo sabre is a huge buff for Riki(maru) couse , he slows as well damege output is nice same like with diff nice reg , couse atless i have a huge mana problems while playing riki , it's a cheaper and doesnt need to charge him.. 1 minus is that you can't debuff you form dust , but still I think now it's way better :) and yes riki is nice :) but i disagre with the build , but whatever :)

                      The hero is not in the meta, not because of his skills, it is because he is in the list of heros that are countered by a single item/ability

                      he's a smurf

                        I used to hate riki before, because i couldn't find the proper way to play him well this was back when we used to spam the chat with "riki is invis now play safe." but now i Just fucking love him i really love playing midlane riki with early urn and blink and get That sweet manta by mid Game i get so much mobility and survivability at the same time 😊.

                          Rikimaru. That silent assassin. Well-written article, appreciated.

                          bad

                            eleven?

                              99% of the people dont know how to play riki, and this article has 0 clue about it as well.

                              Ug..

                                Nah. Riki.... Strong but shity hero

                                Westbrook (Prime)

                                  Riki isn't a bad pick haha. I usually run him in the safelane and can carry hard using him. I have above 70% winrate with this hero (4k bracket) its just u need to know how to play him well and when to pick him. Hes actually a good counter against invo. Dont say that riki is only a 1k mmr pubstomper :) good players can stomp in high lvl games if h only know how to use him

                                  Morningstar

                                    "Riki does not build into a utility support. You won’t see him pick up Guardian Greaves or a Force Staff." Whaaaat.. Pls research before you post admin.

                                    That said, i'll pray Riki got aghs in the future..

                                      Why anyone haven't mention the Desolator? Its awesomely good that it provides a debuff on all enemies when you activate your Ulti whilst giving your team a buff up to their physical damage, not to mention it stack with your other abilities, and stacks with Diffusal.

                                      My rules of playing Riki are:
                                      1. Focus one squishy target and end it as fast as you can. The Lesser enemies the lesser problem.
                                      2. Avoid being the center of attention in a Teamfight. This can be done by being the last one to enter or surprise them after they starve all their spells.
                                      3. Importantly, you're squishy so do not overdo...staying too much would mean risk and more enemies will come.

                                        dust pls.........

                                        fritzbimby

                                          Most riki problem is "Hey Im invisible! Nothing can hit me!" While a pudge already throwing his hook or invoker already cast sunstrike. Funny tho dealing with ppl think like that and still running straight :/

                                              Mayhem

                                                Do not forget the impact Diffusal, you can make your enemy slowly on smoke screen , as you can either purge any annoying spell

                                                        Hey, I think you know what you're talking about seeing as how much you played him and your winrate.
                                                        Can you give us any short tips on what you're doing? I'm curious as to what lane you're usually playing him on especially since putting him in the safelane is quite awkward.

                                                          I didnt play new riki that often, but now i tired to play him offlane and i liked it. 9/9 games won. 4k.

                                                                    May I add you on steam? I would love some good advises.

                                                                                        Then I go into:
                                                                                        Tranquils
                                                                                        (Aquila sometimes)
