Tomorrow is stats. Expecting just below 3 million (2.9?) growth.
Will publish these changes by then.

Riki seems to be being played as a roamer now.

Yep he has been for well over a month now, he's played as a bounty hunter replacement kinda. You don't really bother getting ulti till late, smoke screen is too much value.

Pretty sure u get one point in ult to dodge stuff and maybe for one "ranged" attack to finish off leaving enemy.
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you to their level and then beat you with experience. http://www.dotabuff.com/players/115305822 https://yasp.co/players/115305822

Should we change our build to Offlane/Roaming or keep it Core - Safe Lane?

I will research some roaming Riki builds and test them out today.

Riki can definitely still be run as a carry, it just isn't popular at higher mmrs due to his poor farming ability and how much impact he can have as a support with little farm.

    6.88 released, guides are still bugged so I can't update them.

    Personal note:

    Spirit Siphon drain redunction from 25 to 16 (max Q instead?)
    Ignore now static mana cost

    Phantom Strike goes through BKB

    Smoke at max mana static cost (90). See if roaming Riki still strong

    Mana cost for Conjure Image is 10 less mana (80 to 70)

    improve ultimate

    nice base regen (0.75 up from 0.25)

    early-game mana issues gone?

    Hurricane Pike First?


    To-do:

    Push Echo Sabre Core on all Lifestealer (Core - Jungle is already Echo Sabre)
    Push latest changes unpublished
    Push 6.88 title change
    Push tab: "Patreon.com/Torte" to after Starting Items (before Early Game/Core Items). Figure Starting + Early Game Items
    Third level -> Q, Soul Ring after Boots + Wand, Quelling Blade before Boots of Speed
    Core -> Phase -> Drums -> Armlet (Shadow Blade to Situational Items). Add Halberd to Situational Items
    relook at starting items + skill build
    fix &amp text

    Patch doesn't look like it changes much in terms of builds.

    I'd be in favour of offlane riki.

    He's still fine as a carry but roaming riki is pretty meta right now, and being an early adopter of the meta stuff tends to get you subscribers. The roaming build is honestly pretty unique in that you build all the carry stuff anyway.

    I still don't think ench rushes pike.

    I think armlet replaces drums on kka. He needs one of sb/blink in core. Halberd isn't particularly important.

    PA is definitely Bfury core now, her lategame is so much better.

    Builds still bugged, can't update shit. I still have some remnants of the last patch changes that I didn't get to publish so I'm a little upset at how incomplete my work is.

    Can you give me the build for roaming riki? I want to try it but cant nail down the item/skill build order.

    Uh idk it varies by how well you're doing. Only essentials are oov and E into smoke with 1 in blink fairly early. Anything after 1-x-1 depends on how things are going, but you usually end up with like 2-2-1-1 by 6.

    After that you either go tranqs into full utility and QW if you're failing, or ideally treads wand diffu and start taking E like normal if you're picking up kills. I'd probably say boots wand (upboots) diffu, maybe with tranqs over treads and like EQWQWRWWEER maybe.

    It's kind of weird really. It has a lot of the same issues as DPS BH that I'm aware I was ranting about earlier, but smoke and diffu usually means that even if he's super behind, he can at least take a support out of the fight or disrupt a core at a key moment.

    At the same time not really though. Blinkstrike & Ult mean you can get off at least a few auto-attacks in any fight ensuring that you get value out of your combat oriented items even if smoking on top of a support to take them out isn't an option. Even if the ult partially wiffs it's still a zoning tool if you have a combat item.

    Battle BH often runs the risk of getting 0 to 1 auto-attacks off in a fight because he just gets caught out and controlled (or killed).

    smoke and his ult means he can quite safely be in the thick of it right clicking. the problem is riki doesnt have any other utility other than smoke. bounty can comfortably sit from a distance to track and throw shurikens. riki needs to be right clicking if he wants to contribute to a fight meaningfully outside of just dropping a smoke
