How this matchup plays
Controlling the map in this game often comes down to whether Riki can find an opening. A successful jump with Smoke Screen can easily shut down and kill Necrophos, creating pressure. The matchup flips completely if Necrophos can anticipate the gank, as Ghost Shroud makes him immune to Riki's physical burst. It becomes a game of cooldowns and reactions, where a Riki with an early Diffusal Blade can purge the shroud away.
