Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Rubick wins the Chen vs Rubick matchup: Rubick beats Chen in 57.81% of 979 ranked matches.
Stealing Holy Persuasion lets Rubick take control of Chen's own dominated creeps, turning his primary strength into a major liability. The problem gets worse when it comes to ultimates. A well-timed Hand of God steal can completely reverse a teamfight, providing a massive global heal for Rubick's team at the exact moment Chen needed it for his own. Chen relies on a few high-impact, long-cooldown spells to execute his game plan, and these are perfect targets for Spell Steal. This constant threat forces Chen to either risk giving away his best spells or hold them at critical moments, severely limiting his impact on the game.
