BIO
There is no such thing as harmony among the creatures of the Yama Raskav Jungle. By bite, or claw, or pincer, or hoof, even the slightest sign of weakness means a swift death. They say the Rider was just a lad cutting chaff in his family's field when he was taken, swept up by a massive morde-bat looking for take-out. But this boy had a better idea, and wriggled his way from his captor's grip, onto the beast's back, and hacked it down with his tools. Emerging from the bloody wreckage and intoxicated by the thrill of flight, the boy realized he'd found his calling. The boy grew, and every summer he'd return to his family's field, often setting out into the bush seeking to reclaim that first thrill of facing death in the form of jaws or a fatal fall. The years went on, but his fire only grew stronger. He studied the overgrowth, plunging deeper with each expedition, until finally he found his way to the caves at the heart of hostility. They say the Rider, on the eve of a scorching summer night, had nothing but a rope, a bottle of liquid courage and a burning determination to feel the skies once more, when he plunged inside...

STATS

ABILITIES
1. Sticky Napalm
Drenches an area in sticky oil, amplifying damage from Batrider's attacks and abilities and slowing the movement speed and turn rate of enemies in the area. Additional casts of Sticky Napalm continue to increase damage, up to 10 stacks.
It's not uncommon to hear the Rider cackle while he increases the flammability of his opponents.
A very good skill on early game. You can use this to slow down enemies and also amplify your damage. With the amplified, damage, you can easily last hits the creeps on early game. And with the slowing and amplifying ability, it will be so good to damaging and chasing enemies in a gank and in a teamfight. You should cast this multiple times to stack the effect, so you will have your damage amplified by a lot to your target, and also your target will move so slow because of this skill.

2. Flamebreak
Hurls an explosive cocktail that explodes when it reaches the target location, knocking back and dealing damage to enemies in the area.
A molotov cocktail is the weapon of choice for Batrider.
Deal damage and knock back enemies in the AoE, a nice nuke to helps reduce enemies HP in a gank and in a teamfight. This skill is needed to break your enemy's concentration.

3. Firefly
Batrider takes to the skies, laying down a flaming trail from the air. While flying, the trail of fire destroys trees and damages enemies in its path, and Batrider gains the movement capabilities of a flying unit.
When an enemy escapes into the Yama Raskav Jungle, most would cut through the brush to find the fugitive. Batrider just chooses to destroy the jungle along with his foes.
A skill to release fire in the area. It will deal damage per second. A very good skill to cast in a teamfight.

4. Flaming Lasso
Lassoes an enemy and drags them in Batrider's wake. Victims cannot be dragged over impassable terrain. Dragged units cannot move, attack, or use abilities. Teleporting or blinking will break the lasso.
Few dare to ask to ride on the bat, as Batrider gives them free of charge.
Catch an enemy and bind them in a lasso, make them can't move and you can drag him to any direction you want. A perfect initiating skill to start a gank.
