Damn, your KDAs and Winrates. Do you by any chance watch competitive? That provides some really good insight to how the best in the world perform.
It fucking took me 7 games to get done with Earth Spirit as well. Nothing else took more than 2 games though (I think).
I call them Ember, Earth, and Shaker in chat to avoid confusion.
Even Fear has his bad days. It took him 6 tries to win with Tiny.

BTW are there any good Steam guides for Riki that are updated for the new patch? Every one that I looked at was obsolete. I just want a good item/level guide to get past him and never play him again.

As a trench player, I have found that the all hero challenge is a great way to improve my game.
I was always afraid of playing new heroes. But I have found that the more heroes you learn, the easier it gets to learn new heroes. And as you learn more heroes you learn how to counter them.
My progress so far:
First challenge: 5 games.
Second challenge: 4 games.
Third challenge: 2 games.
Fourth challenge: 1 game.
Fifth challenge: 1 game.
All of these heroes were ones that I never played before (except for CM.)
My advice:
1. Find a good level build and item build. Make sure it is up-to-date.
2. Practice against bots.
3. Don't play ranked. Just don't.
