Larl Named a Popular Hero You Should Avoid Picking in the Current Dota 2 Meta

Denis “Larl” Sigitov considers Riki to be a fairly weak hero in the current Dota 2 meta.

The player shared his opinion on Telegram.

“Riki has always been a frequently played hero. He’s a hero for beginners, but on the professional scene and at high ranks, he’s sometimes picked. Although, in my opinion, he’s a pretty weak hero. I think he needs more opportunities to farm. I don’t know—maybe the damage of his third ability should be increased so he can farm faster. Maybe his stats also need a boost.”

According to Denis “Larl” Sigitov, Riki has always been quite popular. Although the hero is more often picked by beginners, pro-scene players don’t shy away from him either. Nevertheless, the esports player considers the hero to be quite weak in the current meta and believes that the developers should buff several of his stats.

As a reminder, Denis “Larl” Sigitov previously shared what change he’s most looking forward to in the new Dota 2 patch.
