I heard he can spellsteal a lot of things which he previously couldn't due to engine limitations, I wonder if theyl change it to mirror Dota 1 or if they will let it be as it is now(Similair to how Frostbite and Batrider are different in interaction) so that might make him stronger.

Can anybody remind me, since rubick got added to CM, how popular has he been in the chinese scene?

I don't know a lot about the Chinese scene for the last couple of months or so but I do know that Rubick is top ban in SEA teams.

I figured as much just looking at his skills..
My friend insists that he'll be a non-factor that will rarely ever be picked.

More like he'll be a non-factor because no one will let him through the bans lol.

He's been a very frequent ban since he got added to -CM. I'd expect him to be a tad weaker in DotA 2 if it's true that he uses the original hero's animation time, and not his own.

Well..
At the moment he's casting SF ults instantly and prophet tele is a global instant blink.
Let's see after they fix stuff like that.
But yea, my buddy thinks that:
"I think hes a lackluster hero, just something put together that doesnt make sense."

And yea, he can steal all transformation spells now.

I didn't know he was actually a top pick/ban in Chinese dota. I thought he was just a gimmicky hero, only one level higher than Techies on the gimmick scale.

I remember 2009 saying something like:

"He has reliable disables, and reliable AOE. Those alone are enough to make him pretty good."

Everything else is just icing on the cake.

The thing that made me realize how good he can be is, he can reposition enemies in a 375 AOE from their original position.
That is quite amazing for both stopping ganks and starting them.

Not to mention his disable also disables enemies when he hits the ground. Rubick is amazing when used right. Also, 20% magic reduction aura isn't bad either.

I'm thinking.
Isn't fade bolt decent for counter pushing as well?
It can hit all the creeps that the enemy is pushing with(be it NP treants, broodmother broodlings or just creeps) and reduces their damage by a lot(relatively).

I think its been there for a few updates.

If you don't get beyond godlikes with every life with DS, you aren't above average...
:D


I don't understand how bars work at all, my "good" heroes (at least what I consider to be my good heroes) like ench wd sven venge all get less than one bar despite being 5-0 (8-1 in the case of venge) with good avg gpm/xpm/kadr etc. e.g. my 5-0 wd is 5 kadr and 350gpm.

Whereas my total shit heroes, like potm is 0-5, averages less than 300gpm, 0.8kd and somehow gets 3-4 bars. wtf?

Just played my first game as Rubick and owned. He is hella fun to play, not to mention extremely imbalanced. I went solo mid and just trashed a QE invoker like nothing.
8/4/12 never forget, never forgive.

These guys definitely deserve it. Luminous and Nebula were the first Dota commentators I found on Youtube (back in 2009). They're like the pioneers of Dota casting (think Moletrap, Cholera, Tasteless, Klazart). LD seems like he has a decent voice+good knowledge for casting too.

edit: Seems GoDz is going too. It'll be nice getting his insight about the Asian scene.

Multiple English casters? Because it was already known that there will be a Russian and Chinese cast as well.

It's absolutely necessary to have multiple casters. A LOT of matches were not casted in the last TI. And we want all the matches to be casted.
