nope nope nope nope nope.

People need to learn DotA isn't League of Legends. Not every hero can be a successful carry.

You don't get the idea? It's about shielding yourself and spreading fire around.

I get the idea, but it still isn't a /good/ build really. The force staff is great on bat, and a heart can be good to cover his squishyness, but a mjollnir, even with its shield, isn't something you should pick up.

Not to mention, they should of put at least an introduction explaining the build, and not just toss a build up and leave it without any information.

Does sticky napalm's damage buff also works with the mjollnir procs? If so, it "could" be a fun build in pubstomp games

I don't think it does... Sticky Napalm says "from batrider's attacks and abilities" and since it is an item that he is holding that procs off of his attacks, and not one of his actual attacks/abilities itself... I'll experiment with that now actually. I've been sparked to do the research on all items/builds that could work with batrider, and post a guide...

Maybe I'll even post the experiment I've been working with, jungling batrider.

It works. Test mode it yourself. It's not a carry build. It just makes you attack insanely fast and a perk is the lightning procs. Outside of your abilities hes lackluster mid to late game. Sticky napalm + auto attacks add an insane amount of damage.

Jungle bat rider is so bad >_< I've tried it. Just too difficult to gank.

So the lightning attack from mjollnir DOES work with his sticky napalm? I'm under the impression it doesn't, but I haven't had a chance to test yet.

As for jungle batty... yeah, hes no piece of cake, hes a very squishy jungler and takes time and patience to learn, but can be very worth it with someone who knows him. His ganks are great when done well. I'm actually working on my Batrider guide now, all thats left is the jungle section. I'm working on a video to show my path with it... but for some reason FRAPS isn't recognizing Dota 2 as a game, even if I just set it to record the desktop it won't record with Dota running... so I'll probably publish it with an explanation, and add the video later.

Its an orb dude, read what you said your self;
"attacks and abilities" - attack modifier

Jungle bat is the most terrible idea I'd ever heard, there is nothing to do right, your team will not benefit from this and no matter how good of a kiter you are this will leave you the most lack lust thing since carry-wisp, smh. Its not about "if" you could pull off a gank, its a question if you could even gank...

Yes, but its not an orb attack from his own hero's attacks and abilities, which is what throws me off.

And you'd be quite surprised. It takes time, practice, and a lot of hard work to master it, but his ganks can be terrifying. Especially with a haste rune. Batrider himself his a lane ganker as is, you should be roaming from time to time to gank the other lanes. Take that ganking ability, and put it in the jungle where it could come from anywhere at anytime, as well as have two lanes leveling as quickly as mid. Their are other safer, faster, easier junglers out there, true, but jungle batty is viable and it does benefit the team when played correctly.

It is, its a proc chance orb...

What I was saying was that his jungle clear is too terrible and leaves you in a bad position, you'd have to back to base before any chance of ganking, and he'd be level deficient.
