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
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" within the community, as he is riding a bat.
  • Batrider's rivalry response towards Faceless Void ▶️ "Hey Void! Have you seen Bat to the Future?" is a reference to the film "Back to The Future".
  • His Firefly response ▶️ "Scuse me while I cook this guy." is likely a reference to the song Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix.
  • In Deadlock, Holliday's Spirit Lasso ability may be inspired by Batrider's Flaming Lasso, both lassoing a target unit, disabling them and dragging them along the caster.
  • In Deadlock, Infernus's Napaalm ability may be inspired by Batrider's Sticky Napalm, both drenching an area in napalm, slowing enemies and amplifying damage
  • In Deadlock, Infernus's Flame Dash ability may be inspired by Batrider's Firefly, both improving movement, and leaving behind a fire trail while moving.
  • Warcraft 3 similarities:
    • Batrider's hero concept is originally based on the Troll Batriders, a flying ranged Orc unit.
      • Batrider's fiery theme originates from the Troll Batriders as well, who use fire and explosives as well.
      • The Troll Batriders are a sieging units that set buildings on fire, which may have been an inspiration for the Arsonist facet.
    • Flaming Lasso's original iteration is inspired by the Dragonhawk Riders' Aerial Shackles.
    • In DotA, Batrider's name is "Jin'zakk", a custom name inspired by the names of other Trolls from the Warcraft universe. As such, it was not used in Dota 2, in order to separate him further from the Warcraft Trolls.
