Riki Counter Picks — 7.41f
Who counters Riki in Dota 2 7.41f? Counter picks and matchups for Riki, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Riki is a permanent-invisibility assassin who Smoke-silences, Blink-Strikes from behind, and shreds isolated targets — a nightmare for squishy, immobile heroes. He utterly dominates fragile mids and supports: Mars, Storm Spirit and Puck get picked off before they react. Riki is countered by detection and AoE that ignores his invisibility: Spectre out-scales and Dispersions him, Meepo hunts him with multiple bodies, and Wraith King out-tanks his burst. Draft tip: Riki is a brutal pickoff pick into low-detection, squishy line-ups; he falls off into teams with sentries, AoE, and tanky hard-carries.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Riki hardest are Meepo, Wraith King and Dragon Knight — Riki wins only 45.8%, 46.4% and 48.1% of ranked matches against them.
