How Death Prophet and Rubick perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Rubick win 49.35% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,840 matches.
Thinking of this pair as a strong combo usually comes from overvaluing a single Telekinesis lift. In reality, Death Prophet's plan with Exorcism isn't about bursting one hero; it's about sustained pressure on the whole enemy team. A single stun doesn't change that equation much. For his part, Rubick is looking to steal a game-winning spell. While a big stolen ultimate can certainly help a teamfight that Death Prophet started, his success is completely dependent on the enemy draft. He doesn't directly amplify her core goal of running at the enemy and draining their health.
During the laning phase, this duo can feel a bit passive. Neither hero has high burst damage early, and Rubick offers little protection if the lane goes sour. Later on, a teamfight often consists of Death Prophet activating Exorcism and becoming the center of attention, while Rubick fishes for a good Spell Steal. If he nabs a major teamfight spell, it can be a great addition. If he's stuck with a minor nuke, his contribution is limited to a brief lift. This inconsistency keeps the pair from being a reliable combination.
