Strategy
Spam Sticky Napalm on the enemy mid laner to keep them low and slowed at all times. You need not worry about giving {magic-stick} charges.
Apply Sticky Napalm on opponents but also on the creeps at the same time in order to lasthit. Batrider's base damage is very low.
Use spells to quickly push out the wave abd secure the rune that's about to spawn without missing farm.
When you have 3 Sticky Napalms on an opponent, you can consider going for a kill attempt.
Having {bottle} charges, {faerie-fire} or {healing-salve} can allow you to dive under the tower.
Batrider is good at clearing stacks early on. Encourage your teammates to stack camps for you.
Pick up {aghanims-shard} at the 15 minute mark as your right click damage is severely increased as well as your ability to kill towers faster and gather with your teammates to push.
Counter Strategy
{magic-stick} and {magic-wand} are core lane items against Batrider's Sticky Napalm spam.
If you have 3 or more stacks of Sticky Napalm be careful or back away to allow them to expire.
{lotus-orb} and {linkens-sphere} are good at countering Batrider's Flaming Lasso.
