How Rubick and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Rubick and Vengeful Spirit win 55.04% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,876 matches.
Playing against this pair is a nightmare for heroes who rely on mobility to survive. Getting hit by a single Magic Missile often means you're completely dead. The Vengeful Spirit stun sets up an easy and immediate Telekinesis from Rubick, leading to a lockdown chain that feels impossible to escape. This allows their team ages to collapse and secure the kill. The threat works both ways; if you try to jump the Rubick, a quick Nether Swap can turn your gank around instantly. It’s also a huge problem when Rubick steals Magic Missile himself, adding another reliable stun to an already suffocating amount of control.
