Fairly sure he thinks scrub tier carries through to other games.
The award of worst guide ever made, goes to you. You even suppressed my supporting guide, and that was very hard to do
Furry fire, I'm sorry that everybody's shitting on you, but to be fair the choices and play-style you're recommending isn't really the best course of action with riki. A few specifics that I think you might want to re-think is riki in the mid role, he tends to be best in a defensive trilane with 2 babysitters because he's super squishy. As well, you don't really want to focus on movement speed because that's not the type of hero riki is. Riki is a carry and tends to be the one that cleans up team fights and gets the kills. So Bots, Euls, Phase boots and especially dagon are not really the best choices for a riki. Instead you want to focus on getting the defusal asap, yasha is good after that into a s&y. Butterfly is the natural luxury item due to it's high agi that compliments his passive.
I hope you read this and take it as constructive criticism.

Introduction:
Riki is my favorite dota hero for a couple of reasons
1)His invis adds a new set of mechanics to a normal game
2)He is a real nimble hero who is easily controllable
3)I have been reported for some of my dota mechanic tricks seen as hacks:)
Abilities:
His abilities are very basic but it is important to remember you can cast when invis.
Roles:
Carry!!! if you know someone else is gonna carry late game you should not pick riki.Most of my loses with riki is not because of the enemy but my team composition and that is my own fault, please don't make the same mistake!
Item choices:
This is the fun part :)
Most pros rush Yasha to keep up with the enemy in ganks without wasting blinkstrike and for bonus backstab and attribute damage.
Diffusal blade is very standard because you can use it on yourself to remove dust of appearance and it gives useful stats
Powertreads gives useful stats and phase boots give great speed and can be casted while invis ,the choice is yours just don't get tranquil boots because you need movespeed in battle!!!
Late Game you can have loads of fun with a dagon and an ethereal blade for nuke or you can take my most common build and get max movespeed with drum, boots of travel,Sange & Yasha and Eul's scepter.
How to play:
Go mid if you can and go for ganks as soon as you are invis.Farm in lane if you aren't ganking thats basically it.The rest of the time you can do what you want and enjoy dota because it is a game after all :)
Problems:
Death prophet is a pain in the back but other than that you are set.
Knowledge:
Try to get good move speed because you are melee and it makes vision of you irrelevant because you can run away faster.Also pick on heroes like Crystal Maiden.And people never buy items to counter max move speed so a little invis guy running around everybody killing them is real awesome!!!!
