Hi, I've been playing Riki for a few weeks now, and he's my fav character so far. I love the challenge of keeping him alive early on darting in and out of range to last hit as much as possible.
But the real fun happens if you can get Riki into the mid/late game with some nice items. I've found few hero's with the same level that can match Riki 1 on 1. (So much fun to watch them turn their back on me and run trololol).
Having said all that I'm no expert and there are probably better guides out there. Tbh I've really written this guide more for myself. My memory isn't great, so it's useful to know what order to buy things in and what low levels items can be upgraded.
As I play Riki more I'll probably add a few more builds so If you find this useful then great!
