How Kunkka and Rubick perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Rubick win 49.86% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 10,758 matches.
Chaining stuns with this pair seems simple on paper. Rubick can lift an enemy with Telekinesis to guarantee Kunkka's Torrent or Ghostship, or Kunkka can use X Marks the Spot to hold a target for Rubick's stolen spells. The combo potential is there, but the timing is very strict. A slight miscalculation from either player and the entire sequence falls apart, leaving crucial spells on cooldown for no gain. This reliance on tight execution makes the partnership less reliable than it might first appear.
As the game progresses, their objectives tend to diverge. Kunkka becomes focused on farming lanes with Tidebringer and finding pickoffs, while Rubick needs to be active on the map, seeking opportunities to steal impactful ultimates from the enemy team. Kunkka provides a decent setup, but many supports can offer that. The success of Rubick is often more dependent on the enemy draft than on having a Kunkka on his team, making their combined performance feel much more independent and unpredictable.
