7:10 He just kept on going😂

[@angerytoad]

I've started to enjoy Dota again thanks to you Grubby! Can't wait to see the rest of the A-Z

[@FollowGrubby]

Glad to hear it!

[@nicklachen5060]

god me too, so annoying!!

[@DeuceGenius]

im nvr even gonna play this game but i cant stop watchign anyway.

[@bclaw524]

The aghs upgrade is actually based of a meme post on reddit, the pocket riki. There's a specific build you need to go for it to work, and even then it's...situational.

[@enha6008]

i love so much how friendly his teammates are in this game. in a toxic environment as dota that warms my heart.

[@SplittingOfPrides]

Nice gameplay Grubby! That moment 48:35 when you kill Nature Prophet and throw a dart in Shadow Friend was really good.

[@lyonvensa]

Grubby, you're a ray of hope for me and plenty of others in the Dota 2 community. Please don't delve into the infamous toxicity this community is known for, your positivy makes you unique and loveable!

[@cabbage_cat]

12:55 yeah that's perfect depiction

[@sleepysalmon9658]

Grubby: "After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep the aegis?"

[@RichHeart89]

Tbh the Aegis you grabbed was much better than 99% of Wraith King Aegises out there. It just makes it so that in the case of a lost fight WK dies alone for the third time with no backup because everyone else is already either dead or escaping. WK Aegis has much less impact than any other core having it.

[@CaptianSwan]

Always fun to see you get a hang of the hero as the match progresses. Smoke is a crazy skill, it would be an ultimate on most heroes. Aoe silence and 75% miss chance on a long duration and short cooldown? Can't even purge it since its an area? Crazy good. On support Riki Sleepdart/Aghshard into meteor hammer is pretty great.

[@Edalvaren]

Great content grubby and best of luck with your dota journey. Seeing you walk around not farming for minutes gives me an aneurysm sometimes but I still enjoy your stream.

[@sabinae.flores5988]

It's so pleasing watching someone playing dota and not insulting every 2 minutes

[@milanbozic7573]

I absolutely love riki. Nice vid! Also i hope u have more luck in your matches against riki.

[@ishantiwari9992]

I think chat betrayed grubby by not telling him the most BASTARD of all built- the ethereal and dagon doesn't reveal/ break invisibility

[@Ulvorskets]

The toxic destroying item part lmaoooo

[@SkyLordPanglot]

The reason why Riki doesnt feel dirty is because DotA has 3 ways to reveal invisible units only in the shop. Not to mention skills that can reveal. Also anyone can get Shadow blade and be invisible. In HotS there are no items and no way to reveal the invisibles and thats why it feels like dirty and cheaty.

[@owwsdingatlaga8633]

Tricks of the trade is good with crit items like daedolous. Basher, mjolnir, diffusal battle fury.

[@Ivar2x4]

hey man, big fan of the A-Z don't let the backseat get to you :) you are doing amazingly and learning so quick

[@stoywarshockofficial9984]

Wow that dart to SF while killing NP was absolutely SICKKKKKKKK

[@timothythor1719]

Hey grubby thanks for your content. I'm a silent Viewer for a Long time now. Your positive Attitude is realy inspiring. You are a nice Guy and i enjoy your content. WC3, Aoe, Hots and now DotA. Thank you. Keep being nice.

[@Cyberpunk747]

Grubby breaking all the stereotypes of Riki players *kappa*

[@Joey-zi1xm]

No smoke early should be a criminal charge.

[@adrianpanguito3233]

A very good tip would be always putting smoke on yourselves when pushing towers when you have enemy initiators such as magnus, Void spirit, axe and others.

[@thyred3167]

this is the first time i feel he needed the chat on, got so many things wrong reading spells and talents ahah (it's fair, riki's kit is written kinda weirdly and is a pretty unique hero)

[@TryToLearn101]

Diffusal blade active can slow your opponent. Its great combo with your Q. (At least 5 years ago it's works well)

[@magilunedecelestia]

Nice game Grubby! ^^

[@jhanwan8318]

Nature prophet doing nature prophet thing

[@ItsARCHIEftw]

I think this was Grubbar playing Riki - Grubby's Evil Twin.

[@guillermogerrycabrera7625]

12:57 peak sfx

[@DeuceGenius]

i had the weirdest fn dream the other night where i was in the zombie apocalypse and for some reason grubby was with me helping me loot houses tryign to find a safe place to stay crazy dream.

[@Ulvorskets]

Ngl grubby, i see a lot of good sleep darts here

[@Sherudons]

Old riki was much more dangerous, tricks used to hit everything in range and the scepter aoe was nuts with like 6-8 seconds of it, the ideal is you get a diffusal and then smoke/slow someone and just as they get out to stun you, disjoint with the tricks and pounce them again.. I miss that blink strike range, thing could jump the backline and instantly gimp a sup. Dart can be good but so many riki's get a meteor hammer and become virtually useless all game being a meme... Usually it goes diffusal, fury, crit, bkb, nullifier and an abysal in an order you feel you need it, you can also change it up with a sange and yasha, turn them into a halberd and manta if you are dealing with something you don't want swinging or something like a silencer ult or just a skadi if you want some more stats.

[@oleksiikartamyshev3919]

To be honest Grubby learning speed a bit terrifying...

[@mmortal8183]

"Anti-fun for the opponent". I miss old Techies.

[@mustafadogukangunes4529]

Hey Grubby, Could you please play my favorite hero which is Sand King? Make it this little scorpion a giant sand monster!!

[@_Kremit]

I hate when people dont put atleast 1 point in every ability till they are like lvl 6

[@yeah5874]

Fun fact that twitch chat probably spammed- Riki's aghanim upgrade was, for YEARS- a meme. "Pocket Riki" was a joke that people made for many years, and seeing it actually be in the game was one of the greatest Dota moments ever And until recently, Riki also had a lvl 25 talent that allowed him to not have a delay on invisibility, meaning he could do anything, especially attack, and remain fully invisible

[@ResidentEvilNostalgia]

this SA should have been one of Grubby's early heroes to learn.

[@Ressel_]

a little bit of a tips for anyone who always get stomped by riki. this hero has a fatal weakness, he cannot jungle. so, if you see the enemy has a carry riki, just bring a dust and camp one of the sidelanes. he will always farming in the lane. unless.. you let him snowball in the laning phase. in that case he's gonna be farming heroes.

[@PhilSamoylov]

44:06 ducks talking

[@WlatPziupp]

Chat mocks Grubby's keybindings because they don't know he has 10 fingers on each hand and they all can reach every key

[@llllllppppppppp8618]

What music pack is this? It’s really good.

[@stewartmayhew]

1 value point in your smoke is nice on Riki, enemies standing in it can't really do anything. One of the biggest mistakes with how this character is currently played is not levelling smoke.

[@arisandyjayadi2786]

in the past, this hero can destroy any match in lower rank, b4 they nerf difusal, now sniper is destroying the low rank

[@bobbykurniawan4829]

haha im now on crusager. but i learn a lot of trick and skill when i watch u

[@GearDiego23]

Tricks of the trade was good when it was an ult, since it was nerfed to a regular ability its meh.

[@user-go2ld4ti6r]

Riki is more about Zerathul then Nova or Valira.

[@Supernatpy]

It was painful to watch. Smoke bomb is your best ability. And it MUST be leveled once in fist levels. You could have at least 3 more kills wothout any problems

[@ysaleem7820]

IS THERE RANDOM MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND or am i high

[@owwsdingatlaga8633]

The enemy dk in your lane didn't even up his dragon flame how can he farm 😅

[@emberhydra7621]

12:21 at this point is he playing with us or is he not aware that it only dispels the enemy?

[@jhanwan8318]

DK regen are no joke

[@jhudielgabrielsabelino9278]

Jesus, chat is something else..........

[@IsSidMad]

GG

[@owwsdingatlaga8633]

ES baby-sitting you in the lane great support. Dk needs fast lvl so he is solo.

[@EonFigure]

Rikki is completely fair. Wards NEGATE his his existence (thats right, 50g counters his ultimate ability) as well as the gem and dust. Which cannot be said for World of warcraft in which; there is NO COUNTER to rogues, to be able to casually reveal them. So I say good game to you sir! 😎👍

[@user-mu1ut9uy1r]

Any aoe spell can reveal rogues in wow 🙄

[@a460n9]

editor pls get rubick game out as soon as possible I want to see the man play my favorite hero

[@lettersnstuff]

he played rubik last so it may be a minute

[@RuRu0091]

Mmm u dont know in 2020 how broken that aghs are

[@noshadb.e3111]

are sneaky people! AAAANNDD RIKI without Echo Sabre is boring!

[@staa1337]

.. not that far away from rubick ^^

[@EthVortexShield]

Extremely satisfying kill of shadow fiend at around 36:21, nicely done!

[@devoid820]

_ ____ ____ ___ ______ __ _____ ___ A to Z ___ ____ _____ ____ as me

[@IceNKaffe]

Huh? Why is Riki str is bigger than ago, ain't he an ago hero?

[@thyred3167]

you mean the base stats? he multiplies his agi with backstab so maybe they needed that to balance it out

[@josedasilva6885]

gg

[@mrclown268]

Blademaster players.

[@vincentnelissen3407]

Lol im usually happy if they pick clinkz or riki means they are usually noob. You just need to know how to counter them with the proper heroes. I think they are almost not picked in pro games.

[@pettts]

I too am a pro bastard 😁

[@krazygangster2968]

Yo Rikimaru kid

[@TryToLearn101]

Mad sf lolol

[@junhyeonglee863]

I think Riki is one of most HATED hero

[@CrowbarOfJustice]

Riki isnt that good you just need your carry to buy bkb and supports to buy dust and force staff, All his dmg is physical so ghost scepter will make you untouchable to him (unless he buys nullifier but nobody buys nullifier)

[@thyred3167]

nullifier is amazing and tricks still goes through everything you listed; he's not a great carry because you can't burst a whole team down like other pos 1s by himself but can totally dominate. the fact he's invisble is mostly a drawback tho, free dust slows lol, but the fact just his presence makes the opponent use gold and precious inventory slot on all those items for a chance to kill him is worth it in itself

[@jesusaybarsanchez532]

these riki is abuse

[@LittleRifflemanX]

Ooh grubby, already started to get angry at the game i see ... :) P.s. 44:06 -chicken call

[@laretslucky2899]
