How Clinkz and Rubick perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clinkz and Rubick win 50.13% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 10,262 matches.
Finding an isolated target becomes a straightforward kill. Rubick can lift an enemy with Telekinesis, holding them still for Clinkz to unload his full damage from invisibility. This is often enough to secure a kill before the target can react. Spell Steal adds a situational layer; grabbing a second stun can extend the lockdown, but relying on stealing a specific enemy spell for the gank to work is inconsistent. The play depends mostly on that simple lift-and-burst interaction.
This pickoff potential lets the pair apply pressure across the map, especially in the mid-game. By hunting together, Clinkz and Rubick can create space and control enemy jungle areas. This strategy, however, depends on enemies being out of position. If the opposing team starts grouping as five, it becomes much harder for Clinkz to find a safe angle for Burning Barrage, and the duo lacks the tools to control a massive brawl on their own. Their plan requires getting ahead on kills before the game shifts to large-scale teamfights.
