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 
Aghanim's 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 
Linken's Sphere are good at countering Batrider's Flaming Lasso.
