              Riki is balanced but you need to buy Sentries/Gem/Dust in order to counter him. When you are playing against Riki you need to keep buying detections FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME. Even buying a Gem against a Beyond Godlike Riki is won't help you that much. You should ensure that from 0 minutes of the game you have at least 2 sentries in the map (1 in the mid lane and 1 in the lane Riki's lane) and you should keep buying it during the game. Riki can't farm fast so if you can stop him from killing you IN THE EARLY GAME he can't do much in the game. So next time you have faced a Riki on your game just don't forget to buy detection from the beginning. Even if you are a Core (mid laner/offlaner/carry) and your supports don't buy detection you should buy them yourself.

                      What I want to know is how tf he has a 59% winrate when jungling...? Unless it counts him being in the enemy jungle as jungling and he is soaking up exp/stealing cs from an enemy jungler or something.

                      Currently 6th in pickrate yet maintains a 58% overall winrate which means you can legitimately pick him in almost any circumstance and still be favoured to win the match. The only bracket he doesn't win roughly 58/100 games he is in is in the divine/5k bracket likely because the supports will make sure that lanes are properly warded in order to avoid him from snowballing. Expectedly he wins 60% of the time in <2k since in that bracket detection is spotty even in the midgame and non-existent in the early game so he can easily snowball and carry in many of those games.

                      He's also got one of the best (and most obvious) talent trees of all heroes. 8 agi -> crit -> 900 range blinkstrike -> increased AOE tricks of the trade. Apart from the minor 8 agi talent every one of those talents provide a massive buff to his 3 most important aspects - his damage, mobility, and team fight.

                      It's also massively better than his previous talent tree which included such gems as 15 movement speed or 150 health at level 10, 30% exp gain or 10 agi at level 15 (10 agi compared to 20% chance for 150% crit lol), 8 to all stats or 250 cast range (250->900 lol), and -4 second smoke screen or +0.4 backstab multiplier (his old level 25 talent is now his level 15 talent and it is -3 second cooldown better).

                      Apart from that he's had general improvements to his early game laning (increased damage, armour, hp regen) and his skills were amended to be better at level 1 - cooldown of smoke screen is immaterial since you would only cast it once in a gank/fight anyway so the higher early aoe is better/increased damage on blink strike is better for early game killing.

                      So far has been completely MIA from TI though - only picked twice so far by Team Serenity, lost both times, not a single ban. Expect him to terrorise pubs for a long time yet since if anything he is going to get even more buffed after TI.

                                  6 minute sentry was a pretty big nerf to riki, as well as the gold/xp for killing obs means a LOT of sentries are bought each game now.

                                              I take my own word...

                                              Dude riki isnt balanced at all
                                              Yeah he is weak laner
                                              Yes dust sentry and gem counter him
                                              But dude it just doesnt matter..
                                              The only thing you do is buying diffusal take ulti talent and buy aghs
                                              The wait for clash and press r

                                              Ayaneru   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                                If riki is really unbalanced why he didnt picked so much in ti??

                                                Because they play as a 5 man team, each player with their own role so they know who will buy sentry/dust, unlike pub ranked games, wherein 5 players played randomly each other.
