IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

riki is a niche hero that forces other carries to get items they don't want to get because they can't manfight him without them but they would be stronger with different items. The cloud is already the strongest skill he has, it reallly doesn't need buffing.

I think if any of his skills needs buffing it's Blink Strike.

Reworking backstab so that he can actually scale and doesn't need to snowball would be neat. And maybe give him more item choices.

His ult should be reworked. Like the only way he can be visible is when there is true sight or he attacks or use some items and skills aside from smoke screen.

How about we just remove Riki from the game. Such a pointless hero, does nothing but irritate me.

Riki doesn't need buffing, he's a niche hero that does his job well.

Had a game of captains mode, unranked.
Enemy Krob has a disc, our 5 man stack waits for the disced Krob to return.
After 3 or 4 minutes, Krob has to reboot the PC, we wait for another 5 minutes.
Outcome --> 5 commend for every1 from our team for being patient

Plus, spectre with Treads, Drums and Radiance works pretty okay even vs DS.

the reason why riki isnt played very much is the same as for mortred (even though she makes it in a promatch now an then).
if the enemy get bkbs you have no chance to get to them anymore.
especially those 2 heros heavily rely on their blink in teamfights, as they are very squishy.

but on the other side: if they could blink on bkb targets, could make them probably be too overpowered.

----

rubick is such a strong support.
he dosent need any buff.
he just dosent fit the current pro-game-meta. thats why he is a bit weaker than other supports for now, but that dosent mean that it can not change within a few weeks.
he definetly dosent need a buff. maybe a little tweak or sth.

In my games, we would wait for them to reconnect. And then later when we had a dc on our team, they would cyka spam unpause. Feels so much better when we proceed to fountain camp them

id like some form of buff or remake of rikis ultimate. its just so underwhelming after level 6. maybe buff the fadetime even more to 3/1.5/0.5 or give it something on top of it like an active self purge or attackspeed buff.

Rubick is the second most overall picked hero since TI4. I think he's fine guys.
