Strategy
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.
Focus on acquiring Boots of Travel and then start playing more actively.
Pick up Aghanims Shard at the 15 minute mark as you become a potent right clicker being a universal hero.
Spam Sticky Napalm on the enemy mid laner to keep them low and slowed at all times. You need not worry about giving stick charges.
Counter Strategy
Magic Stick and 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 Linken's Sphere are good at countering Batrider's Flaming Lasso.
Lore

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...
