It gives a little bit everything an Perseverance is one of the most convenient items in the game. It's not very good at all, but you see people getting BS in anything that wants to get tanky or needs regen in pubs. I looked at the patch notes and I only see buffs to bloodstone since like 6.60 | ||

Yep. After courier die second time i upgraded it. Because no one wanted to upgrade it. But this had to be done. (I was playing spectre and having a baad baaaad time against silencer.) Our team had Lich, enigma jungle, OD and batrider. But somehow OD let our crow die. Again. | ||

Yeah, I believe it is recommended core, along with arcane boots and a wand. Also IIRC mekanism isn't even listed as situational (not that Rubick is a great carrier for a mek, but 1-protect-4 is the most common 'situation' in pubs...) | ||

Heart used to be constant 2% regen not disabled on attack. Those were some fun good times. Tanky int like necro, necrolic and dp such fun. | ||

Meanwhile, I could only report 2 of them...if I wanted to burn my reports this week. I am still not buying anything, be it open a chest/whatever, til the mute system is gone but holy fucking fuck. So I get punished apparently for having a team that basically fucked me around with orchid omni builds and denying their hardest carry all game? Oh did I mention we got to 45 mins before I quit (thanks to someone else abandoning) and no courier. Yet we had a venomancer and an omniknight. Seriously this game rocks faces but the report system needs some serious fucking work. | ||

I'd want somebody who's actually good at Dota to verify this, but I think Rubick typically doesn't get enough gold to get a Mek at a good, early timing. The item in as of itself is good (in fact, when I play Rubick I often buy it because nobody else has) but I think that it's often better on someone else who can get it earlier (for instance, a Dark Seer). Mek falls off in effectiveness the later you get it. That being said, I think it is situational at the very least on him, and if you somehow end up with lots of gold early on a Rubick it is very effective, like it is on any other hero. | ||

You want to pool your gold to get a positional items, like forcestaff or blink dagger on a hero like Rubick. Most of the time your only job as rubick is to counter initiate and steal that one core spell. Having items like forcestaff and blink dagger helps you execute these scenarios. Im not saying mek is useless on him, but you would rather see better items like forcestaff and blink dagger on him first. | ||

First game: Single draft. Not the best draft but whatever. Team locks in Omni and Disruptor and Drow. Last guy is hovering over Morph and its 15 seconds after the clock (two still to pick on their team) so I lock in Riki. I figure can safelane Drow and Omni, mid Morph, offlane Riki and Disruptor. All good right? Nope. After I lock in Riki other team immediately counterpicks with Gondar. Then our last guy takes....Earthshaker. Omni comes offlane with me. Drow and Disruptor go off together. Razor is bottom just constantly attacking when we even get close to the lane. Then Jakiro rotates bottom and we can't even get close. Later on ES rages at me for picking Riki when they'd picked Bounty Hunter. I point out that they counterpicked so instead he starts going on about how you shouldn't pick Riki unless its last pick. Because clearly I could have predicted that one of their team had a BH in single draft and was yet to pick... Ok. fine. Next can't be as bad, right? Exhibit 2: All Random. I get PA. Cool. We got a Zeus for mid and a couple of supports so if we just....nope. Zeus repicks into CK and we have no mid. So we've got a jungling Chen, a mid CK, an offlane solo Ogre (who is muted and spamming "help" all game because he's getting annihilated) and a Treant who keeps single pulling my lane and randomly hitting creeps every so often, screwing my farm. Die horribly to a Bloodseeker who trashtalked all game. Although his reaction when I dropped him and stole his Divine Rapier was pretty funny. Gave him a bit of a scare. Lets try again, getting late but I'm not finishing on that. Good, Random Draft. Even better I get Luna and their hardest carry is Kunkka. I get good farm with a Lion in my lane against a solo BH. Doesn't matter. OD mid is horrible, dies repeatedly and loses the lane hard to Night Stalker who then goes ganking. Meanwhile Witch Doctor top is apparently feeding Enchantress like crazy. We lose a ton of towers and I'm fighting for farm. Just can't do anything, not enough in the tank to deal with that much feed. Fortunately I was put out of my misery next game in an All Random game as KotL. Me and Brewmaster mess up their AA and Void quite a lot. SF and Gyro get big and we just win. Bonus points for Void raging because I must have killed him about seven times in a row (it wasn't deliberate, just Illuminate so strong). Moral of the story? For god's sake don't just think "I'll play one more quick game before bed". -_- | ||

My usual thing as rubick is if there is another support, especially one who doesn't need any particular items or positioning to be really useful, then I ask that guy to get a mek. After he says "omg noob i mak dagon" then I sadly buy the mek, as well as the donkey the crow and all the wards. | ||

Steal and return an epic 4 man black hole. My team? All turn and back until it's over. "Thought it was theirs." ...yes guys, that's why they were taking damage and doing the air-walk, while you all mysteriously got set free. Also, my antimage carry finishes with 170 gpm. Sad rubick is very, very sad. | ||

I solo queue and end with an ES who is good. I win mid as Storm and then we have Doom solo farming all game, Lone druid being completely useless and bad at farming and BH...not speccing track until lvl 9 (because I told him it's a good spell). The opponents are all quite good so I don't even need to tell you the rest. Apparently it's my fault for "going mid and 0 gangs, pro storm". What the fuck is up with this matchmaking system? | ||

This guy has over 600 games played, he ends the game 0-6-1 and with an abandon because he can't figure out how the buying system works. I..don't..wat?! | ||

Considering its a free game, I don't see why anyone would do that? "Here, take my much higher mmr account than yours so you can play for me, be completely aweful, and ruin the game for everyone in it. Then give me some abandons because you don't know how dota basics work while you're at it" | ||
