Offlane Riki has absolute garbage laning. 0.9 base regen and low HP. You will need probably 2 sets of tangos, a salve and stout just to get some exp if the enemy lane isn't complete garbage as well. Every time you go for lasthits you'll get harrassed for days.

I think you need at least PMS and something for HP regen like casual Ring of health or Headress and this still gives you 0 kill potential. You'll need to buy a oov at some point to be able to chase supports down, because you will have no farm whatsoever. You need ganks on your lane, preferably a babysitting support like lich and a good matchup to get the exp and farm you need.

The ult is really just an extra attack or two on 2-3 heroes at most without a setup like RP so you need to carefully place it and probably won't have much impact in most fights.
If you get to lategame and farm though Riki is pretty good. Getting heroes to 50-60% HP with his ult at the start of a fight can make a big difference. You can also use it with Satanic if you get caught and bursted near death to get back to full HP.

What about the Maelstrom/ Mjollnir thing? I saw you talking to kyphoid about it the other day about it. I guess it is a little worse since his ult can't target creeps now.


Found this clip. tune to 04:25. He gets a rampage with a clowny build involving 3 maelstroms
**** kyphoid tho.

1)Purchase Helm of the Dominator
2)Dominate a creep
3)Go hit the lone tower with your creep nearby

That's how you Backstab a tower.

This Helm of the Dominator glitch that disabled backdoor protection was fixed a long time ago IIRC. This was broken as hell and if it still worked every Furion would be doing that.

Also, towers have no discernable back for Arteezy to stab :)

Was it? I've never read about it in the patch notes and it's not a bug or glitch,it;s an exploit. Gonna check the wiki or even test this now.

Edit: yes, it was. Just tested it though no notes on wiki about that.
Edit2: http://store.steampowered.com/news/12134/ this seems ton be a patch that fixed it. Amusingly enough, this was even before I started playing dota though I've still heard of this strategy and even tried to reproduce it(although I don't remember the results, it was almost 2 years ago).
