Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Rubick wins the Puck vs Rubick matchup: Rubick beats Puck in 53.49% of 9,871 ranked matches.
Playing against a Rubick makes every single spell cast feel like a liability. Puck wants to control fights with big, flashy abilities, but each one is a potential gift. Stealing Illusory Orb gives Rubick mobility he desperately wants, and a stolen Phase Shift makes him incredibly difficult to pin down. The real nightmare, though, is giving up a Dream Coil, which can single-handedly lose a fight. Even without Spell Steal, Rubick’s instant Telekinesis is one of the best tools for catching Puck mid-animation before they can escape, setting up an easy kill.
This dynamic forces Puck into a terrible choice all game: either play timidly, or risk casting key spells and giving Rubick the perfect counter-initiation. Puck wants to dictate the tempo and get out safely, but Rubick punishes that entire game plan by turning Puck's greatest strengths into weaknesses. A fight is completely reversed when Rubick throws a stolen Coil back at Puck’s team. It becomes a constant mind game where Rubick has the upper hand, making it hard for Puck to ever feel safe or effective.
