No farm, no levels, enemy counters up the ass, constant lag and disconnections, and Riki STILL balls all over everyone. How is this hero balanced? Now I know why Russians always pick Riki, they can sit around with the 5000 ping they get from playing on servers on the other side of the world and still win the game.
