Still not as good as she used to be.
Definetly not a 1v9 hard shitstain booster hero which she had been designed for
still too much stuff that shit on her
but she is a lot harder to kite now
^ This
Also Pa only works when there is team fight creator hero in team like magnus,axe,enigma ...
The buff for phantom strike is necessary i think
See sven with bkb and echo or lifestealer pa cant do shit but now atleast pa can jump onto them and hoping for crit xD
enigma was always a go to hero, he has one od the best ults of the game, that dish a ton of dmg and immobilize people.
I think osfrog is trying to get more pure dmg into the game, maybe ravage will be next, pure dmg, but stun doenst pierce bkb.
Every PA i've played with this patch use the Vlad's into Deso. I've seen it used great ONCE, but only once. Every other PA I've had, were shit PA's. They use that build then jump in the jungle like they are gunna farm something quickly instead of going out and taking objectives and killing heroes.

No shit this hero has been overrated and picked by 3 digit MMR shitstains because they think they can wreck people by throwing toothpicks and blinking on to other retards without having farm skill or gamesense (but still ends up doing so because OMG EVASION IS SO OP)
I haven't played with 3 digit MMR players for a while now, thanks tho...
But yes, in the 2k-3.8k bracket, there are still alot of people (with over 1000 games) who do this kinda shit.
Well, there is also the occasional game (maybe 4-10% of that 50% that wins because of pure luck crits/evasion in fights.
Played a game not to long ago where we lost all of our T1's by 15 minutes, and I went for a BKB over BF first. Ended up with 4 or 5 consecutive crits while immune and we turned around and won the game in 30 some minutes. <- that game is also when the comeback mechanics were at their worst, so it doesn't even say much.
Its nice to see those crits, but I can see why the hero is so hated. Braindead x 1000.
From about 70% of my pub and solo ranked games where people pick PA 24/7,I can still count the amount of good PAs by my fingers (GOOD not GREAT,and by good is that they can actually farm) and only one or two of them can actually play the hero.
Also I only met a good riki player once, and he was on the opposite team.
Im the greatest riki /clinkz/ursa/pa/sb player on low bracket.
But in this patch pa still melts really easy It used to be really hard to kill a 3,4slot pa.
I remember carrying 40iq negros in my team with 1v9 pa
aquila vanguard deso build is some good stuff, just run at people and kill them before they can get any farm
Pa is a hero that doesnt play well from behind, but if she gets her farm can dominate games. The problem for Pa is when the enemy has burst or lockdown. Also blademail is hell to play against as pa especially after 6.87.
don't overreact too much to patch changes because every hero changes. the meta is new but it isn't something to crown until a week in. It isn't like the answer to PA has always been a bkb...
@KEEPFEEDINGITSALREADYOVER
50% winrate with riki and u call urself best? please. Watch and learn.
i think u cant make something out of garbage by just cleaning it. it will still be garbage.
PA never out of limelight. Just adjust your item build for every patch. Nerf her or buff her never a big deal on a high dps 1v9 hero . just get good farm .
@KEEPFEEDINGITSALREADYOVER if you haven't added the echo sabre to your riki build then you're doing it wrong.
@CDC.Porkchop sandwiches You don't -need- echo saber on riki in normalskill... can just opt for max ulti damage + armor reduction and kill most.
Holy crap, never knew people here are so low not taking echo sabre on riki serious. Well, no wonder most of u got max 55% winrate with riki. shame!

blues w33, this hero is super strong lol. i just ran around and killed everyone with my bounty hunter.
u cant actually do anything to this hero mid. new daggers retarded, esp if u get early blight. i one shotted the riki with a dagger at the end of the game lol.
Not saying it's not serious, but echo sabre does add quite low damage in the long run compared to other options.
So it's not really necessary in order to win as Riki.
echo sabre costs too much for it to be purchased on roaming riki, and doesnt give you enough stuff to make it a legit item for core riki. there are better options.

Pa got a buff this patch which allows her to phantom strike onto spell immune heroes and since most of the heroes that beat her late game are natural bkb carries she can easily take most of them now. Thoughts?
