How Crystal Maiden and Rubick perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Rubick win 50.06% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 20,402 matches.
Having a constant stream of mana from Arcane Aura lets Rubick focus entirely on positioning and finding opportunities. He can use Telekinesis more liberally in lane to set up ganks or use Fade Bolt to secure farm and harass without constantly worrying about his resources. This keeps him topped up and ready for that one crucial Spell Steal that can turn a fight, something that's often limited by his own mana pool when he's on his own. It’s a passive benefit that enables a more active playstyle.
The pair wants to leverage this into early aggression, combining Crystal Maiden’s root and slow with Rubick's lift for kill attempts. The main issue is that both heroes are extremely fragile and lack escapes. If the enemy lane has strong kill potential of their own, they can easily turn the tables and feed off this greedy duo. The entire game for them is about getting ahead with their spell-based pressure before the enemy can capitalize on their shared weakness of being easy targets.
