Brood is so annoying to play in pubs. Every game I play as her I have to drag my team to victory. They see 2 or 3 heroes in my lane and if I yell at them for ages the MIGHT go push somewhere else. Eventually. On a good day. Its like I have to fight both my team and the enemy.

I get the same effect with NS - I just get really bad teams when playing him. By the end of the first night I'm like 8/0 every game (its been a whiles since I've played him, so I may have had a lower MMR), but I'm 8/5 with NS iirc because my team is just terrible when I play him for some reason, and NS falls off quite hard if they start grouping up.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

Got about 7 games in so far, game is really addicting and fun ^^

Tried out Lich for 2 games, Antimage for 3, and Huskar for 2 so far, with playing best with Huskar so far.

Riki looks really cool though to try out. Probably going to watch a few vids on him and then play a few games to get the feel for it with him.

Didn't think DotA 2 or any MOBA would be this fun!

Just played first game as Riki (8th game overall on DotA2), went 21-3-9 with him ^^!

Teammates were really helpful telling me what to buy and whatnot.

Riki games at low MMR are hilariously fun, went 16-2 on my first game trying him :D
My teammates however spent the whole game blaming me for everything
Havent played him even once since

Depending on enemy stupidity and your ability to prey on stupid enemies, riki is downright broken.
He has my kill record of I think it was 26-3 or something. I lucked out with good teammates that game, too.
Remember: A hero that you can kill before he can leave your smoke is a freekill.
For that reason alone I considered selling my lvl 2 diffusal to get a new one with fresh charges.

Is there some next level craziness for riki as shadowblade/deso gondar?

You realise you can buy the recipe of diffusal blade and it refreshes the charges right?

Also deso gondar is pretty normal.

Heh I still have some old replay from dota1 when I go 24/0/10 on riki, spending like 5 minutes in the midgame on 150hp and still raping everyone. People were so bad back then :D Or more recently winning hardlane 1v2 as riki, wtf. And then you get good opponents and feed coz you aren't used to good players :/

The person who originally brought up the point said lvl2 diffusal. You cannot upgrade diffusal lvl2 to refresh charges. The only thing you can do is sell and buy.

It's only worth it if you use it for something more than the slow, like removing repel or whatever. BKB or 3/5 of manta a can be bought for that cash

Did they change it a while ago? Or was it a bug in DotA2? I could have swore it worked when I tried it...

It works that way in DotA 1, and as of February it worked the way it's supposed to in DotA 2. So you must be mis-remembering.

It was like this in HoN, never in Dota2. Not sure if it was like this in Dota1 though.

Free will is overrated. He should have fun in the way we tell him to.

Playing TA vs a team consisting of Omni, Riki, Bat, Axe and Clock is not fun at all. Do not recommend lol. Aside from a decent amount of DoT, Omni is a pain in the ass with his invulnerability, magic immunity and heal, Riki's cloud fucks up Meld hits, Bat is Bat, Axe fucks up Meld hits and Clock takes you out of the fight completely.

I still won, but damn, that game was hard.
