I think batrider is more of a team fight initator type hero - I always die if I try to solo gank with him... basically you suppose to blink in, lasso someone, drag them to your team mates to kill him...
He needs a coordinated team. If you watch a pro game, the bat will initiate a team fight buy popping firefly and blinking into the enemy team, he will lasso a hero and then fly/be forcestaffed back into his own team, dragging the enemy hero who gets killed before they can do anything. The resulting fight is then 5 v 4.
He is also very powerful because he is still very good in ganks/small skirmishes and is very flexible (can offlane, jungle or mid).
So based on the above quotes, he is not good for low level pubs because:
A- half the time most people aren't speaking english
B- when they do, they are trolling
C- if they aren't trolling, they just suck
D- if they aren't A B or C then they are okay to work with
D happens about 5% of the time for me. -_-
Thinking about giving death prophet a whirl tonight.
