its not like I don't win with him, but lately got into a bad losing streak
I am trying to learn rubick, my problem is I still don't understand what is this hero's primary objective, I know if the enemy have a great skill I should steal and use it but in many cases they either have mediocre skill that don't work on its own, that is still fine but my problem is still the same… what is my objective?
I rarely be able to be the main DPS of the fight with rubick (unless I have death ward/mystic flare or something similar) so I don't try it most games, so I focus on being a disabler by stealing stuns/disables and amplifying its duration and damage and cast range with my ulti and passive
but that is also not always the case, so I try to steal abilite that either heal or save allies, but that is even rarer to happen
there is his shard which allows him to move allies with telekinesis to safety which I like but its notalways enough
my problem is I feel like each game I need to find new direction for my gameplay, and its get confusing, I don't know what to buy after aether lens, shard and blink, even the scepter might not be a good choice all the time, one game I gave up entirely on my ulti and went the pipe + glimmer route, and that was a good call we won that game, so sometimes relying on the ulti might not be needed
anyway, I still dont know what exactly to buy for each situation….
DPS Rubick?Disabler Rubick?Healer Rubick?Anything else Rubick?
Last game I got so confused with the itemization to the point of me just staring at my 5k gold with no idea how to spend it effectively to win the game
I call thee, Rubick gods…. HELP…. I am struggling, help this cringer
let me give you a case study… against CK/Clock/sniper, what is my objective as a player for each of them?
