| Can lasso an enemy away from his team. | |
|---|---|
| While most would find being kidnapped by a morde-bat to be a terrifying ordeal, one particular young man found the incident exhilarating. Seeking to relive the thrill of flight, he entered the Yama Raskav Jungle, and came out soaring high above the canopy as the Batrider. Atop his leathery mount, he drenches targets below in Sticky Napalm, increasing their flammability before setting the land ablaze by flying up in the sky glowing like a Firefly. To ignite enemies from afar, he hurls an explosive cocktail with an explosion strong enough to knock foes away. Want a ride? That can be arranged. As he spots his targets from above, and throws out his Flaming Lasso to string them along for a fiery experience they will not soon forget. | |

Bio[edit]
It's not the bat you gotta worry about. She eats fruit.▶️Batrider
Alias:
BR
Lore:
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…

Trivia[edit]
- Batrider is occasionally referred to as "Batman" in game, mostly due to the recent popularity of Christopher Nolan's the Dark Knight trilogy starring Christian Bale and Gary Oldman.
- His design might be influenced by the "Hobgoblin" of "Spider-Man". He uses concussion and incendiary Jack O'Lanterns, wraith-shaped smoke and gas-emitting bombs, bat-shaped razor-edged throwing blades, and gloves woven with micro-circuited power conducting filaments that channel pulsed discharges of electricity. He wore a shoulder bag to carry his small, portable weaponry.
- In DotA, Batrider's full name was "Jin'zakk, the Batrider". In Dota 2, his name was removed for unspecified reasons.
- After killing Faceless Void, Batrider says ▶️ "Hey Void! Have you seen Bat to the Future?", which is a reference to the film "Back to The Future"
- Batrider's unused kill response "Scuse me while I cook this guy." is likely a reference to the song Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix.
- Batrider's concept may well be based on Project X-Ray, a military strategy developed during World War II which involved using bats equipped with small, timed, napalm-like incendiaries to decimate towns (See Alexis C. Madrigal's "Old, Weird Tech: The Bat Bombs of World War II," in "The Atlantic", 14 April 2011).
