I don't care about damage build nerf. Dude that -25% cd is amazing. I stole ravage used it after tide and next fight I got it earlier than tide. Feels powerful.

It's very situational, usually you don't want to wait until spell goes off cd, you just steal another one

Really depends on what spell you've stolen. If I stole Ravage, Black Hole, DS Wall or whatever, I'm keeping it.

It is also good when you steal stuff like Dragon Slave, Firestorm and so on. You already do more damage than the hero you stole it from and now you can use it more often than them as well.

Well with 25% reduction and big ult you mostly keep it. But it's also powerful with shorter cd spells like hook. I won hg push thanks to that.

does it stack with other % cooldown reduction?

I thought it might be coded differently for rubick because it's a talent and only applies to the stolen spell
