    I'm sure we all remember when Warlock came out he simply dominated due to his AoE and high base damage.

    Is Batrider perhaps this versions warlock with the same ridiculous base damage, good team fight mechanisms, and a great escape?

    Probably even better than that. Warlock... I always liked his base damage, in fact, I last hit like crazy with him. And if you rush Midas you can end up with Gynsoo and travels by min 35-40 with is pretty awesome for an int character.
    His skills set is not THAT good imo.. ofc his infernal is powerful and can take down towers easily, plus you can splash .. a little.. damage using his 2nd skill + infernal's splash.. but is not as imba as other int character I think, like say Krobelus which is totally OP.

    And warlock doesn't have a great escape unlike the Batrider. He has a pseudo escape you could say if you cast shadow word on yourself and make travels quickly, but incomparable to the Batrider's flying skill.

    batrider is so much better than warlock imo. Better escape, better abilities and better firepower in terms of damage and magical damage.

    I dont see the resemblance in those 2 heroes :S

    Batrider is much more offensive, wether warlock is more team oriented.
