Solo names the players he rates highest on Rubick

Dota 2 streamer and former professional player Alexey Solo Berezin discussed Rubick during a Twitch stream. In his view, the hero is powerful mainly when controlled by players with exceptional experience and refined mechanical skill, rather than being consistently strong in every situation.

Berezin singled out Saksa and 9Class among the players he rates highly on Rubick. He also included Save-, while noting that Vitaly Melnik had been affected by circumstances and somehow ended up playing in the mid lane. Solo said this was enough to define his list of standout Rubick players.

After a viewer mentioned XinQ in the chat, Berezin agreed that the Chinese player was solid on the hero. He also accepted a suggestion to include ALOHADANCE, describing the former player as one of the strongest Rubick specialists. Earlier, Berezin had assessed Save-’s level in the mid role as neither particularly convincing nor especially poor.

Solo’s comments identify the players he would trust most on Rubick: Saksa, 9Class, Save-, XinQ and ALOHADANCE. The remarks may be relevant when these players are considered for drafts involving the hero.

Save-’s mid-lane assessment remains separate from the praise for his Rubick, suggesting that role performance and hero-specific skill should not be treated as the same measure.
