How Lone Druid and Rubick perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lone Druid and Rubick win 47.74% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 597 matches.
Thinking of this duo as a mismatch of magic and physical damage is a mistake. Rubick provides exactly what Lone Druid needs to get going: control. A good Telekinesis lift on an enemy lets the Spirit Bear close the gap and start hitting, which is often all it takes to secure a kill. Fade Bolt also reduces incoming attack damage, making it much harder for opponents to trade with the bear or focus the real hero. We haven't seen this combo too often lately, so it's not clear if it still holds up.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
