    Rubick I know is a strong hero, one of my favorite pos 4 or even 5 in pubs, but why does Arturito go mid with him? He won’t scale he’s not that strong a laner, maybe buffed with fade bolt and offensive null field but other than that, I can’t see benefits of giving him mid. Is Babaevsky memeing or handicapping himself ? Is he showing off or something. Can someone explain?

          Like offlaners need Blink
          Rubick can't offlane so go mid ROFL
          Just RTZ things

            I think he said he was practicing - or it’s just fun for him to play he’s not try hard

              Mid Rubick is a remnant from dota 1 days, when some supports were seen as good midlaners because of the meta of "4 protect 1", so they concentrated farm priority solely on the hard carry, while mid laners were all about the nuke damage and big ultimates. Mid Rubick actually survived the longest and was present until TI2, already in Dota2 times. Mid AA was alive until shortly after the first TI, mid Lion died long ago.

                because he wants to, as simple as that. and its okay sometimes, not the worst thing ever.

                  Rubick mid is actually viable.
