riki cant hit high ground so in order to get objectives you have to take fights which makes games way more complicated

The few times I build aghs on WK I'm always surprised by what you can do, but it never would have occurred to me to do that.

Brax whiffed a bkb blink batrider lasso and then aegis ended on 4zoomers and gave EG a huge opening.

That game was so loving sick. I still think ice3x played like complete poo poo.

Not gonna be the last time you say that. I feel like EG asks so much of its offlaners that they end up looking like poo poo, and I kinda feel like iceiceice was already heading towards washed even before this.

I'm guessing the idea was just to use Duel to lock down Riki but it like never worked?

tbf iceiceice did also bring the game back for them. his game is just kinda horrible, you have no good duel targets, blademail is mostly just a pray that you kill the enemy team with aoe and it also makes nyx better versus you. you basically have no game at all and no good build; all you can do is dispel the lasso and even that is difficult when you're dealing with all the stuns and silences on dire. in theory you can go pipe but pipe is crazy expensive and half the price is a recipe.

Yeah in true EG form that looked like trying to overcome a sketchy draft with individual play and falling short. Also it really doesn't look like they've played much together yet or something. Hopefully that works itself out because in theory Abed/Crit/III should be a really fun trio to watch play some Dota.

its super hard to blink duel riki because riki can silence in response to the blink. you also have to deal with the fatty miss chance from blinding light; thats actually the biggest reason why rapier added so much damage.

Riki carry is actually pretty amazing in its ups and downs. He's got crazy good regen base but his laning is mostly mediocre, and he's not a fast farmer or much of a fighter until he's picked up a battlefury and aghanims, which make him able to instantly farm an creepwave or neutral camp or support with pretty much no concern at all because he's usually invisible and has some of the highest mobility in the game. However, he can't hit towers well because hitting towers requires him to be revealed and vulnerable, because he builds almost exclusively damage and agility and is a squishy little poo poo.

He may be oppressively OP once he's got his core items, but that's 10ish thousand gold on a hero that's not particularly good at farming. I hope he sticks around a while in his current form, it's a lot of fun to play and watch.
