Rubick Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Rubick in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Rubick beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Rubick is a spell-thief support whose Telekinesis lifts and stuns, Fade Bolt saps damage, and Spell Steal turns the enemy's best ultimate against them. He's strong into heroes with powerful steal-able spells: Timbersaw, Underlord and Jakiro hand him a free ultimate. Rubick is countered by heroes whose spells don't help him or who out-scale: Spectre, Legion Commander and Meepo punish his fragile frame, while Phoenix out-fights. Draft tip: Rubick is a premier spell-steal disabler into ultimate-reliant drafts; he's weaker into illusion comps, pure right-click carries, and hard-divers.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Rubick hardest are Meepo, Dawnbreaker and Keeper of the Light — Rubick wins only 42.8%, 44.0% and 44.1% of ranked matches against them.
