How Rubick and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Rubick and Wraith King win 55.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,436 matches.
Fighting into Wraith King forces opponents to commit their best spells to kill him before Reincarnation. This creates a perfect window for Rubick to use Spell Steal on a fight-changing ultimate that might otherwise be held back. Because enemies are so focused on bringing the king down, they often leave themselves exposed. Rubick’s own kit helps enable this further, using Telekinesis to either hold a target for Wraith King’s stun or to peel defenders away, ensuring the fight happens on your team's terms and lasts long enough for a key steal.
This means Wraith King can play aggressively, knowing the enemy's response will empower his own backline. The fight becomes a nightmare for the other team: either ignore the king and die to his right-clicks, or use powerful spells on him and risk Rubick turning them around. The main counterplay is to find and kill Rubick before he can act, so good positioning from both heroes is critical. Wraith King creates the space, and Rubick uses that space to stay safe until the inevitable big spells start flying.
