I missed seeing SK in competitive dota, makes fights really interesting IMO My top five support heroes Disruptor, SK, Tide, Jakiro and TC (not yet in dota2).

Though admittedly, the remake to Ancestral Spirit seems like it'd make it more reasonable to play him as a support than before, because you can use the spirit to keep the aura on the enemy carry rather than having to stand in his face directly. | ||

 Especially given that you chose to put SK, Tide, and Thrall on there over Rubick. | ||

Because support(ive) heroes almost always get picked off first so i want the supports to do anything useful before they die. A 2/3 men stun from SK or 4/5 men ravage and then if thrall can pull off his combo he can ruin the oppo team singlehandedly. TC is there mainly due to i love the war3 model so much and he is like the combination of BM+ES+Rubick('s aura) and then he can hit so hard in hard in team fight from his ancestral spirit, unlike most support(ive) heroes which can usually get gtfo after using their spells. Rubick on the other hand is more about the flashy play and to me he is a situational pick when the oppo has big (key) spells. I do love Rubick and i remember rgar i played Rubick for 2months straight back then when he first released rofl. | ||

I do love Rubick and i remember rgar i played Rubick for 2months straight back then when he first released rofl. I feel like you're under-valuing the basics then. Even without key spells to steal, Rubick still brings to the table the core basic needs of a point-and-click reliable disable, an AoE stun, and a long-ranged AoE nuke for push/counterpush/teamfight. Very few heroes in the game actually provide all 3 of these things. All of the heroes you listed have certain specific usefulness, but they sacrifice one or more of the basics to get it. The tradeoff is often worth it, but a team may or may not need those, whereas a team ALWAYS needs the basic stuff. Spell Steal is just icing on the cake. | ||

In pubs, this isn't a problem, because with the way pubs are played, it's much easier to force teamfights when you want them (even if it means the other team will repeatedly teamfight themselves to death), but in competitive play, if the enemy team can't fight you, they really will find ways to avoid it without coming out worse off. | ||
