Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Phoenix wins the Phoenix vs Rubick matchup: Phoenix beats Rubick in 53.56% of 43,286 ranked matches.
Forcing fights around objectives becomes much safer when the enemy playmaker is a Rubick. Phoenix dictates the pace, allowing his team to secure map control and pressure towers with less fear of a clever turnaround. The core of the problem for Rubick is Spell Steal's interaction with Supernova. Phoenix will almost always cast Fire Spirits or Sun Ray right before the ultimate, making it incredibly difficult to steal those high-value spells. Instead, Rubick is often baited into stealing Supernova itself. This removes him from the fight, forces his allies to protect a fragile egg instead of fighting, and usually ends with a lost teamfight for his side.
