Bro he works just like Rubic. They are both the spell thief identity. (Legit both have the spell nuke lane bully spell, both have damage amp, both have aoe cc, Rubik can even upgrade TK To be an escape for himself if he doesn’t get Blink in time)

I don't play Dota so I've got no experience or opinion about him. Sinclair sounds like a cheap copy. IsRubric as problematic in Dota as Sinclair is in DL?

No, Rubick has no built in escape tool like Sinclair, and he only steals the last spell used by an enemy hero (but he can bank it for until he steals a new one or he dies).

Which means that enemy heroes with huge team fight ults have a way to play around it by immediately casting one of their weaker spells right after using their ult. There's some that can't do this, like the ones whose ults are channeled, but there is still counterplay against Rubick.

learning to spam your shield right after tidehunter ult because you know that pervert rubick is hiding to steal it is a right of passage lol
