Until he gets buffed.
I think its interesting how buffed riki is now though. Massive HP regen in lane, he has almost as much as Nyx and now has more than most strength heroes. Also kinda funny considering that how +6 hp is one of his level 10 talents since he doesn't need any hp items now. Anyway Riki is starting to get close to getting as OP as he used to be before tricks of the trade etc were nerfed because his laning is so much stronger now. Used to have like 43 attack damage and getting a cs was close to impossible in lane.

50 base attack damage
5 base armour
294 starting speed
560hp
4.8 regen per second
Since 7.20 riki has received:
Base movespeed 275 -> 290
Base health regen from 1.5 -> 3
Base attack damage from 11-15 -> 14-18 -> 18-22 (total +7)
Two least taken because least useful talents (extra health regen at 10 and slightly higher backstab damage at 20) buffed by 1 and 0.1.
Agi gain +0.3 per level which translates to extra 0.6 attack damage per level aka 14.4 more damage per auto attack at level 25.
Do you know what bloodseeker has received since that time:
Movement speed from 285->295
Agi gain +0.5 per level which translates to an extra 0.5 attack damage per level aka 12 more damage per auto attack at level 25.
Reminder that Bloodseeker has been picked once by tier one teams in something like the last 8 months since TI.
Reason why he is not picked? Because he needs levels and to be ahead to have impact, can't pos 1 carry, can't pos 3 offlane - aka needs to be run mid but has received no buffs to help him win mid in the early game. Meanwhile riki who is Icefraud is obviously attempting to be pushed back into viability by Icefraud since he nerfed roaming has received half a dozen laning buffs and has also received more benefits to his late game. Bloodseeker is still rocking the "plus 18 movespeed" talent which used to be +18 movespeed and damage when it was damage and was not changed to +18 movespeed/attack speed even though changing it to attack speed along with the thirst change would make sense to everyone but of course not Icefraud because he is still sore about losing to bloodseekers in his pubs 4 years ago and can't stand to see him competitive at all.
