How Rubick and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Rubick and Templar Assassin win 45.93% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 41,402 matches.
Opposing teams rarely feel pressured by this combination's offensive potential. Templar Assassin needs to get in close for a Meld strike, and while Rubick can set this up with Telekinesis, that single-target lift is often the duo's entire plan. The real issue is defensive. Once Templar Assassin commits and her Refraction charges are gone, she is extremely vulnerable. Rubick operates from the back line and has no inherent tools to save her if she gets focused. He can't provide healing, defensive buffs, or a reliable escape. This leaves Templar Assassin fighting on an island while Rubick is forced to watch from a distance, unable to cover her weaknesses.
