Rubick is much more popular in higher brackets: 26.3% of Very High matches, 22.8% of High and 16.5% of Normal. He wins 50% / 49.6% / 49.5%. Telekinesis lifts a target and stuns those around it when it lands, Fade Bolt jumps between enemies and weakens them, Arcane Supremacy adds cast range and spell damage, and Spell Steal takes the last spell an enemy cast. His team gains more XP in 49.5–49.7% of games at every stage, and his win rate falls a little with game length: 55.7% under 25 minutes, 49.8% at 25–50 and 48.7% past 50.
Countered by VisageVisage starts ahead: his team gains more XP in 56.3% of games before minute 15. Grave Chill drains a target's movement and attack speed and gives it to Visage and his Familiars.
Rubick wants to land burst on the right hero, and Visage gives him poor targets. Gravekeeper's Cloak removes a layer of protection with each instance of player damage, so it soaks the first hits of Rubick's combo. Much of Visage's damage comes from his Familiars, which Spell Steal can't take, and Soul Assumption charges up from the damage Rubick's own spells deal nearby. The Familiars' Stone Form stuns Rubick, who has little to escape with once Telekinesis is used.
Visage's team gains more XP in 51.6% of games at 15–35 minutes and 50.6% after. He wins 66.9% of games under 25 minutes (133 games), 56.4% at 25–50 (2,638 games) and 53.5% past 50 (473 games). Visage is one of the strongest heroes of the patch on his own (55.2% / 53.9% / 51.8%), and against Rubick he wins 58.9% / 55.7% / 54% (Very High / High / Normal). The edge is largest in Very High (+7.53), with +2.83 in High and +3.46 in Normal.
Best teammate: EnchantressRubick has no strong partner in this data: Enchantress is the best at +2.96 weighted, and the edge is in High only. The pair's team gains more XP in 47.3% of games before minute 15.
Enchant dispels an enemy hero and slows them, which makes Telekinesis and Fade Bolt easy to follow up. Little Friends roots a target, and Nature's Attendants heals Rubick, who has little health. Impetus adds damage that grows with distance, so Enchantress fights from as far back as Rubick does. Their XP-gain share is 49% between minutes 15 and 35.
The pair wins 62% of the 108 games under 25 minutes and 49.2% at 25–50 minutes (2,749 games), but only 42.8% past 50 (628 games), even though their XP-gain share rises to 50.7% after minute 35. The advantage is +4.98 in High, +2.61 in Normal and only +0.55 in Very High. The pair wins 48.7% / 49.4% / 47.8% (Very High / High / Normal), with Enchantress normally at 48.4% / 47.3% / 46.9%.
