That's way higher than I would have ever assumed, Jesus. I find him terrible.

I once played against a Riki/Pudge lane as the carry laning with a silencer support who bought dust instead of sentries. When I asked later why, he said he did it because the pudge that was with the riki would've just dewarded. So I guess if you lane with riki, bring sentries and that mind game will auto-win the lane and the game for you.

By falling off, you mean 57% winrate below 4K, 56% winrate between 4K and 5K, and 53% winrate above 5K.
some games i do okay, some games i am very much a 2k player

rEEKi is definitely a pubstomping menace at 0 mmr.
he's also lots of fun to play when the enemy team picked 5 carries because you know they ain't gonna buy support shyt
but he's also slow and weak and farms about as well as twobear attempting to carry.... permanent invisibility needs to minibash.

It's the definition of falling off

if you want to pubstomp with an invis hero in 2-3k, pick clinkz.
You think people are bad at dealing with invis itself, try orbs. People freak the fuck out when you auto attack them and they try to trade and suddenly the entire creep wave is on their dick. Both at once? rofl.

vanguard viper is old as sin though, I remember old guides recommending it

I can see Phase Boots being viable against a Juggernaut.

I think the winrate at the upper MMR brackets is a little misleading as riki's pick rate gradually drops at higher mmrs.
At my mmr bracket, I notice that a lot of people like to man fight Riki under the cloud, not realizing the cloud also imparts a huge miss chance.

it's not like you can post while dead or anything
I fail to see how this belongs in very high skill :

Had to go semi carry since our viper wanted to go offlane in the beginning I thought why the fuck not.
Until very recently I didn't notice that Balanar's Silence also gave you miss chance...
In that game I finally noticed it, I remember going crazy trying to find what item was causing it...

Winrate is pretty constant as long as one stays below 5k, which is where most of us are. Plus, above 5k, most heroes have drastically different winrates. So Riki is pretty much like any other hero.
you seem to be dead a lot

Also, how exactly does one win with Lifestealer? I had 600+ GPM, 5 min Midas and all that jazz and didn't feel particularly powerful despite being top net worth until before the ancient exploded.
Obviously, the enem team had pretty much 5 good heroes against me but honestly, I never lose 600 gpm games on non-trash-tier carries in 3k MMR games. 4 out of 5 enemy players ain't on my level and unless the opposing +4k player has equally good farm (which wasn't quite the case, but I suppose Jugg owns LS even with less farm), I just ball out of control. I would've won that game with any other carry regardless of my team throwing. Just frustrating to random two utter ass carrys back to back (LS and Mirana).

What role does he excel at?

treads sny basher should destroy almost every carry if you're pulling ahead
But then you gotta push high ground LOL good luck with that

XCX.
Nintendo games never drop and price and its a guaranteed flop so you're gonna pay 100 bucks in about 2 years.
You can get DQH for like 10 bucks in a Steam sale next year.
literally couldn't pick a worse hero against that team rofl
Charli Xenoblade Chronicles X?

What was your hon mmr
You wait for a new patch, and then play against a team that's magic heavy, high HP, but has no silences.

Do not take it personally. Of course, what you said is technically true. My point was that he falls off as much as lots of heroes, it is not huge, it is 1%, and the hero is still autowin with his 53% winrate at the highest MMR bracket.
One amazing thing that I only learnt recently is that you can use his ult globally. I used to click near my hero, but I can precisely target an area by clicking wherever I want on the map even if my hero is not there. Sometimes, I would teleport just to use my ult optimally...

the problem when I random ls is that everyone expects you to jungle but I HATE jungling with his slow and weak ass and if I choose to lane laning SUCKS because literally every game in garbage tier is 2-1-2 and managing creeps is tough
last time I was successful I just did stats (drums/sny) and basher and went off, but that's probably because the other team was bad
is there consensus on bf vs. mael>mjollnir on melees? I won a farming void game a few days ago with mael but idk, I felt like farming would have been even nicer with bf

I laned him and we wrecked them. Made no difference. I don't jungle in 6.85 - it's so game-losing. Granted, I did random Enigma yesterday or Saturday and jungled him but if I can lane it properly (my Eidolon micro skills don't suffice), I will.

XCX but I'm kinda biased since Xenoblade is one of my favorite games of all time.

Void is not winnable with, don't bother. If you won a game with Void, you would've won it with any other carry as well.
