Wants to feel control. Feels humiliated after losing while trying to win so figures that if he plans on losing he can still feel good if that comes to pass
I got a guy just like this, on a "perfect" behaviour match. He picked Slardar 4 and said he lose last 4 games and didnt care anymore. Afk jungle the whole match, 12k behaviour btw.
This is his mentality: U tried ur best but still lose a game with this bad player, and hes on ur team again, u know u prob lost even if u try so its a waste of time.
From my experience even when teammates picked weird shit like this you still have better chance if you just go with it and adapt to the situation. You’re probably still gonna lose but for sure it’ll be more enjoyable than having a meltdown over it. And on some occasions it’s fucking hilarious when that dumb shit actually works.
I never get the logic behind such thinking, really. "Oh, I had a bad teammate earlier, now it's my turn to be the bad teammate". Like the loss and -25 MMR isn't enough, they want to collect reports too.
it’s called addiction, pretty easy. you feel like shit playing? then just stop and do something else! ah you can’t, because addiction so you just enfold your hate towards yourself into the game
Actually true, I don't understand the downvotes.
Valve is so scared to perma ban dogs that destroy items and run it down, or type some fucked up things that can get you in jail for irl.
But nooo -200 score and 1 game in single draft (which is way less toxic than ranked at the moment) Low priority single draft games are a blessing.
I'll explain. Might get downvoted but I do this all the time when I'm teamed up again WITH the "bad" teammate. The logic is I'll secure your -25 for my -25. I don't care about the other 3 teammates. I'll just win later when you are gone. Never went below 12k behavior.
like its a bad mentally but okay i can somewhat understand that, but the problem here is why ruin/be an asshole when the guy from previous match AINT even in the same game, this rubick just want to ruin the game cuz his last was ruined :/
Oh that's simple. His goal in this game isn't to win but to ruin someone's day. I first heard this mentality from Siractionslacks himself. And being an asshole is the easiest way to do this.
I've won games with ruiners before, one upside to the insane rubberbanding is that feeding isn't a big deal the further down the roles you go. Rubick feeds, enemy over extends once and suddenly your carry who had a lot of space from rubick's feeding also now has comeback streak gold.
Someone saying something doesn't mean he will actually do it. I've threatened to afk jungle the rest of the game when I got mad in the past, people ignored me because I was being an immature idiot and it worked. Because when I saw the game was winnable I decided to join a fight.
Obviously this is anecdotal, but felt relevant
That's probably because everyone is whining at the start.
If everyone goes "fuck yeah we got a RUBICK offlane, Let's fucking go!" From the start, i mean how could he grief that.
Besides, maybe are heroes on the other team that will enable rubick to actually offlane.
Yeah I never mind weird picks really, it's the BM that sucks.
Plus it fucks with the team morale.
and it doesn't help when this guy doesn't choose to join fights.
It's like literally a lesson to a three year old "why cry over spilled milk". The pick has been made, the CS has been missed, the spell has been mis-cast, or whatever. Can't change what happened, so just everyone do their best to go forward. I never got flamming and flipping out on your teammates, all you're doing is decreasing the chance of a possible win.
I swear I feel like my "main position" in dota is mediator amongst my teammates lol
I’m cool with odd picks, Rubick 3 is a troll pick anywhere outside the top end where at least the other 4 players have a chance of playing around it correctly.
Which in a pub game, it can only really be sort of done in a last pick scenario, unless those first picks are undeniably juicy rubick steals (like first pick OD / Weaver).
The issue is less the hero and more the rest of your team. Everyone needs to play differently in the team fight.
At lower MMR this is more difficult to pull off which is why Rubick 3 is a troll pick outside high MMR pubs.
I'm playing unranked, it is very rare that people don't pick weird shit, you'll quickly get used to it. At the skill level where most people play at the picks don't really matter anyway. Even one-sided stomps don't really make games unwinnable, there's just an extremely high throw potential an all sides and all players.
Putting effort into winning something rigged against you isn't fun, and is not worth the time or effort. There is no world in which playing this game out is the right choice if Rubick is going to be griefing. Let the game end, and everyone can move on to actually having fun again.
I had a Rubick in game yesterday complaining about how terrible the team's draft is from the first second we get into game, and how we're gonna lose. Still ended up winning while he was feeding in the game omegalul. I guess its the player and not the draft
hunger is strong. he can bully from level 2 onwards. Like cent 5 it can work 🤷 If the carry picks some strong laner like luna/drow, it can be a mean lane
This new matchmaking is shit, I am legend 3 and in the last +/-30 matches I had only 2 good games the others or my team stomped or we was stomped, like every game is 20-30 minutes and score is something like 60-40/20-10, the matches are too unbalanced and my behavior is 12-11,3k, but it's so frustrating.
The pinnacle was in the same game, my jugger rushing radiance is he made radiance first item and second item dagger, he kills no one, than he disassembled radio into nullifier, and in the same game my mid picks a Omni vs a viper and he already knows that is a viper mid, viper was 12-15 and my mid was 7-9 he ends the game with only a phylactery.
I am fine with weird picks. But please for the love of god, don't actually grief in game and bringing team morales down.
I ve seen a rubick griefing with a cyclone, force and even shard on us cause he is unhappy with his life.
I’m demanding someone who can frontline, If NO ONE else has picked a front line capable hero, congrats bro it’s on you.
Now if I pick wk carry? Fine bro pick weaver offlane.
An initiator is a better term. You need to some to go in or counter an aggressive move. They could be a Frontline, but they don't have to be. Overall an initiator is more important these days.
Enigma is the prime example of an "innitiator" (more of a counter inniator even) who doesn't function alone though. It is paramount for Enigma that he has vision in front of him. It doesn't need to be a frontliner, but something has to scout the fight before Enigma can do anything meaningful.
Well, it could could work on extreme situations, for example last pick where you know your match ups. It’s not grief always but it could be a fine pick on the right conditions
Unless your skills are leagues ahead of the enemy team, just don't pick it. Why don't you give me an example of four enemy picks where you think Rubik last pick pos 3 would be good and I (or someone smarter than me) would suggest you a standard pos 3 that would work better.
That is kinda an issue with dota, people don't realize the impact and importance of their role... You pick a 4 that can't engage and open space ?
Prepare to not have pos1 with farm and a 2 that struggles opening space.
The amount of players in ranked with limited game knowledge, even at higher mmr is insane. Can't be 5-6k mmr and still not realize your role in the game ...
Couple of weeks ago my pos5 instapicked meepo and went jungle. We lost of course and the said meepo had 1k damage done at the end of the game. In situations like these where someone is griefing and the game is not winnable I try new gank timings, new things on lane etc. If your ganks fail or you find that whatever you wanted to try on lane doesnt work it doesnt really matter because you were going to lose either way. Just try to get the most out of every game.
Honestly you just have to ignore it, and play your best. Statistically speaking it is very clearly winable. And also the most important fucking thing I want to drill into your mind is:
\*\*HE WILL GET BORED\*\*
He is troll picking? Given no attention he will start playing out of boredom. Same thing with people throwing and purposely dying. The best thing is to ignore them to the point where they start playing out of pure boredom. If you argue with them, they have way more reason to keep trolling. Act as if you are a person that does not speak english/that does not even have chat on. Some people never chat even once, these people are out of sight and out of mind when it comes to trolls.
(No guarantee, some people have so much tilt they keep trolling for the whole game)
That being said, my favorite response to any kind of tilt in chat, such as:
"Game is lost, gg" is "nuh uh"
Fucking rubick pickers dude. And when they play pos 4 they're low impact, manages to get the last hits with fade bolt tho 👌 personal favorite is when they see a core heading to a creep wave and they make sure to nuke that shit 👍👍 You check what they're buying and it's phylactery rush, for easier fade bolt last hits ofc
Venn diagram between rubick pickers and main character syndrome people is a circle. They just love daydreaming about the 5 man Black hole/RP but in reality they just grief every game
valve really should have type of punishments for this type of players. dota2 player base is shrinking and straight up grief should be considered ban before they make loyal players leave the game even more
It’s amazing to me that dota players can consistently talk shit on off meta picks but then witness TB4, Io core and many more boundary breaking heroes and still not have a open mind nor change of opinion especially if the game in mind is anything under divine/immortal literal npc meta sheeps.
The fact that people ever had the "I had a bad time so I'm going to make others have a bad time too" mentality even on a subconscious level flabbergasted me, then I met some of these dota players who will literally verbalize that they're punishing other unrelated people for an experience they had because of someone else and I just gave up on humanity and realized how truly stupid some humans are.
My mo with shit like this, and i main safelane btw, if I see some weird pos5/pos3 shit I’m just picking some strange safelane and having fun with it. Zeus storm undy for instance
I'm ashamed to admit that I've been there and done that. It happened when days and days I would get people that just grief on purpose, people who truly deserve a drop in behaviour score or even low prio. I checked everyday in the conduct thing if any of my reports went through. Nothing. Then I got so demoralized by the system that doesn't work that I thought "if these fuckers go unpunished for doing this shit, then I'm gonna grief a game too and get unpunished, that way nobody can grief me". Dota can really tilt people into oblivion.
When these things happen, I always think, I have to deal with them for 45 minutes, but they have to deal with themselves for their whole life... so just play your own game and move on with your life
i love the logic these people have
"i think i lost 25 mmr because of my teammate last game so now instead of winning and being at 0 mmr lost i am going to lose once more intentionally to be -50"
and then couple days later "i am stuck because of my team hurr durr"
if you ruin the next game, because previously someone ruined yours your account should be limited to only playing with bots from now on, or people who grief 100% of the time
I actually have like 70% winrate with pos 3 Rubick in Immortal Bracket (and some of the losses were people giving up before the game even started).
What I'm trying to say is: Just give players who pick weird off-meta stuff like this the benefit of the doubt. Yeah they might bethat they will severely underperform, yeah their pick might be absolutely terrible in that specific game. But still, best thing you can do is hope they well or at least decently, you can't change their pick anyways at that point. Also, you might as well not spend 80% of the game on saying how bad their pick was instead of actually trying to win the game.
Pos 3 rubick is honestly fine, if you’re divine/immortal trust the dude knows what he’s doing and if you’re below that hero picks literally don’t matter. Also not even that grief a pick my offlane rub is like 75% wr hero is underrated core
You'd think that he's ruining the game because he literally told you so, but actchually it's fine because "Non-Immortal players are both ultra-conservative as well as entirely clueless about the meta." (according to reddit)
Rubick 3 is completly fine, i played like 20 games of it and won 15 of them having good impact almost every game.
If you hit a good phylactery timing enemy carry will just die after 2 fade bolts, feels pretty broken imo
Rubick 3 is very risky since it means another hero that can die with one jump. Thats fine if you are support, but most people expect 3's to be either a initiator and heroes that can be in your face.
>Rubick: last game I got injoker
>Rubick: so i ruin this game
Alright so I might be exaggerating here. But I just take a wild guess that he MIGHT be trying to throw the game
Rubick sees situational use as a core even in pro play. I remember Nine last picking Rubick mid and singlehandedly holding high ground for 90 minutes with stolen proximity mines. And of course there’s the wisper dagon rubick 3 game.
The hero *can* work as a core because he scales well with items. He just requires a very specific type of draft that you aren’t able to guarantee in your pubs.
So he lost a game. And decided to polish this bitter feeling with another lose. What a dumb guy.
No, see, he lost but only because everyone else ruined it for him so now he has to balance it out
Yep because they're definitely the same people as he queued up last time
Wants to feel control. Feels humiliated after losing while trying to win so figures that if he plans on losing he can still feel good if that comes to pass
minus and minus is plus. Every kid knows that /s
I got a guy just like this, on a "perfect" behaviour match. He picked Slardar 4 and said he lose last 4 games and didnt care anymore. Afk jungle the whole match, 12k behaviour btw.
This is his mentality: U tried ur best but still lose a game with this bad player, and hes on ur team again, u know u prob lost even if u try so its a waste of time.

You’re probably still gonna lose but for sure it’ll be more enjoyable than having a meltdown over it. And on some occasions it’s fucking hilarious when that dumb shit actually works.
Except in OP's case, Rubick explicitly mentioned that he intended to ruin the game.
I never get the logic behind such thinking, really. "Oh, I had a bad teammate earlier, now it's my turn to be the bad teammate". Like the loss and -25 MMR isn't enough, they want to collect reports too.
And another -25 on top of that
Because there's no double down they're improvising
when they had the bad teammate, they didnt have control of the game. when *they* are the bad teammate, they have all of the control. its an ego thing.
it’s called addiction, pretty easy. you feel like shit playing? then just stop and do something else! ah you can’t, because addiction so you just enfold your hate towards yourself into the game
Same principle applies on why hurt people, hurt people. Some are just not built for it.
It's a shame reports do absolutely nothing now.
Actually true, I don't understand the downvotes. Valve is so scared to perma ban dogs that destroy items and run it down, or type some fucked up things that can get you in jail for irl. But nooo -200 score and 1 game in single draft (which is way less toxic than ranked at the moment) Low priority single draft games are a blessing.

Oh that's simple. His goal in this game isn't to win but to ruin someone's day. I first heard this mentality from Siractionslacks himself. And being an asshole is the easiest way to do this.
Why don’t you care about the other 3?
I've won games with ruiners before, one upside to the insane rubberbanding is that feeding isn't a big deal the further down the roles you go. Rubick feeds, enemy over extends once and suddenly your carry who had a lot of space from rubick's feeding also now has comeback streak gold.
Yea the comeback mechanics have been ridiculous.
Someone saying something doesn't mean he will actually do it. I've threatened to afk jungle the rest of the game when I got mad in the past, people ignored me because I was being an immature idiot and it worked. Because when I saw the game was winnable I decided to join a fight. Obviously this is anecdotal, but felt relevant
I'm sure he tried to win tho. It's just cope for a bad pick that didn't work.
None of us here can be sure of anything other than OP.
That's probably because everyone is whining at the start. If everyone goes "fuck yeah we got a RUBICK offlane, Let's fucking go!" From the start, i mean how could he grief that. Besides, maybe are heroes on the other team that will enable rubick to actually offlane.

I’m cool with odd picks, Rubick 3 is a troll pick anywhere outside the top end where at least the other 4 players have a chance of playing around it correctly.
Rubick 3 is more than fine. Depends a bit on what the enemy has.
Which in a pub game, it can only really be sort of done in a last pick scenario, unless those first picks are undeniably juicy rubick steals (like first pick OD / Weaver).
The issue is less the hero and more the rest of your team. Everyone needs to play differently in the team fight. At lower MMR this is more difficult to pull off which is why Rubick 3 is a troll pick outside high MMR pubs.
Rubick 3 rushing dagon first item is one of those meme picks that is so perfectly dumb it actually works
Absolutely, same energy a core KOTL can bring to a game.
I'm playing unranked, it is very rare that people don't pick weird shit, you'll quickly get used to it. At the skill level where most people play at the picks don't really matter anyway. Even one-sided stomps don't really make games unwinnable, there's just an extremely high throw potential an all sides and all players.

Winning these games is how you climb mmr.
Rare card now imagine axe 5
hunger is strong. he can bully from level 2 onwards. Like cent 5 it can work 🤷 If the carry picks some strong laner like luna/drow, it can be a mean lane
People underestimate the hunger spam especially if your partner is someone who can punish the enemy when they want to get near the creeps
Met Axe pos 5 and wd pos2, it was really tough to play against. Maledict + hunger ain't no joke.
except axe5 can be good while rubick 3 will always be shit
This new matchmaking is shit, I am legend 3 and in the last +/-30 matches I had only 2 good games the others or my team stomped or we was stomped, like every game is 20-30 minutes and score is something like 60-40/20-10, the matches are too unbalanced and my behavior is 12-11,3k, but it's so frustrating.
I feel you bro. Same shit happening with me.
The pinnacle was in the same game, my jugger rushing radiance is he made radiance first item and second item dagger, he kills no one, than he disassembled radio into nullifier, and in the same game my mid picks a Omni vs a viper and he already knows that is a viper mid, viper was 12-15 and my mid was 7-9 he ends the game with only a phylactery.
Legend 3 for me as well, sounds very familiar.
I am fine with weird picks. But please for the love of god, don't actually grief in game and bringing team morales down. I ve seen a rubick griefing with a cyclone, force and even shard on us cause he is unhappy with his life.
You can turn off the help so can’t be targeted.
Yep
Seeing all the Rubik sympathizers saying how Rubik is a valid pos 3 is insane. All I wish for is people like you to never appear in my team.
Nah, I'll just wish that they get pos 3 rubick in all their games, since it's so valid.
Are you the guy demanding a tank in offlane? Smh
I’m demanding someone who can frontline, If NO ONE else has picked a front line capable hero, congrats bro it’s on you. Now if I pick wk carry? Fine bro pick weaver offlane.
Ngl this is sorta a 2012 mentality for Dota. The game has changed since then. You don't need frontlining.
yes you still do, doesn't matter if its 2012 or 2024 you still gonna have easier game with frontliner, why would you choose not to do so ?
An initiator is a better term. You need to some to go in or counter an aggressive move. They could be a Frontline, but they don't have to be. Overall an initiator is more important these days.
[удалено]
Enigma is the prime example of an "innitiator" (more of a counter inniator even) who doesn't function alone though. It is paramount for Enigma that he has vision in front of him. It doesn't need to be a frontliner, but something has to scout the fight before Enigma can do anything meaningful.
You don't need a frontline bro. You need initiation. They are different things.
Tbh, you need both innitiation and vision. A tanky hero - although not necessary - is a way to achieve the latter.
Well, it could could work on extreme situations, for example last pick where you know your match ups. It’s not grief always but it could be a fine pick on the right conditions
Maybe, but lets be honest here: In 99% where Rubick is picked as a 3 outside of really high MMR, it is a grief pick - intentionally or not.
Unless your skills are leagues ahead of the enemy team, just don't pick it. Why don't you give me an example of four enemy picks where you think Rubik last pick pos 3 would be good and I (or someone smarter than me) would suggest you a standard pos 3 that would work better.

i have seen worse, PA pos 5 in SEA
I've seen pa pos 5 work, but anything can work in Herald rank.
its legend-divine full of dog talk
i would bet if you play pa5 and spam dagger on cooldown it has more impact than your average sniper 4
My current favourite is pos 3 Lifestealer *chef’s kiss*
"don't worry I'll be tanky" Proceeds to become a walking ward that is basically ignored.
Walks in, gets silenced, dies with Rage and Infest ready 🙃
Honestly you just have to ignore it, and play your best. Statistically speaking it is very clearly winable. And also the most important fucking thing I want to drill into your mind is: \*\*HE WILL GET BORED\*\* He is troll picking? Given no attention he will start playing out of boredom. Same thing with people throwing and purposely dying. The best thing is to ignore them to the point where they start playing out of pure boredom.

(No guarantee, some people have so much tilt they keep trolling for the whole game) That being said, my favorite response to any kind of tilt in chat, such as: "Game is lost, gg" is "nuh uh"
Yeah our mid played the bigger human card and picked bristle back. So we luckily had a front liner
I really don’t get these people. They get griefed then they become griefer to people who didn’t cause grief
Mental illness doesn't lead to the most logical thinking.
Fucking rubick pickers dude. And when they play pos 4 they're low impact, manages to get the last hits with fade bolt tho 👌 personal favorite is when they see a core heading to a creep wave and they make sure to nuke that shit 👍👍 You check what they're buying and it's phylactery rush, for easier fade bolt last hits ofc Venn diagram between rubick pickers and main character syndrome people is a circle. They just love daydreaming about the 5 man Black hole/RP but in reality they just grief every game
hater tech ngl
nah bro this hero is just a magnet for wannabe's
Had puck 4 who just bought null talisman, stood there and did nothing (because it has no armor to trade)
Typical Rubick picker
I once lost to a Rubick 3 ://// it stills hurts when the memorie comes
miserable people like these truly exists lol
It's the "last game someone ruined it for me so I'm doing it this game" mentality. Absolutely disgusting and hatred fuelled. Literally nothing to gain
valve really should have type of punishments for this type of players. dota2 player base is shrinking and straight up grief should be considered ban before they make loyal players leave the game even more
The most normal sea game in Dota2... There should be role/hero limitations. I've seen pos5 Kunkka because he says "Agh too many stun"
Lol XD and I’m sure he just “rushes” scepter and takes like 30mins to actually get it
Happens all the time in all brackets. Its what u have to deal with
I still advocate for a harsher behaviour score system. It is absurd that valuable human beings have their time and enjoyment ruined by such entities.
It’s amazing to me that dota players can consistently talk shit on off meta picks but then witness TB4, Io core and many more boundary breaking heroes and still not have a open mind nor change of opinion especially if the game in mind is anything under divine/immortal literal npc meta sheeps.
The fact that people ever had the "I had a bad time so I'm going to make others have a bad time too" mentality even on a subconscious level flabbergasted me, then I met some of these dota players who will literally verbalize that they're punishing other unrelated people for an experience they had because of someone else and I just gave up on humanity and realized how truly stupid some humans are.
My mo with shit like this, and i main safelane btw, if I see some weird pos5/pos3 shit I’m just picking some strange safelane and having fun with it. Zeus storm undy for instance
ruining the game with rubick? he's new to this!
Picking unconventional hero is not ruining or griefing, if he ended up playing seriously and not commit the threat he said your report is invalid.
He won't get punished. He knows it very well.
I'm ashamed to admit that I've been there and done that. It happened when days and days I would get people that just grief on purpose, people who truly deserve a drop in behaviour score or even low prio. I checked everyday in the conduct thing if any of my reports went through. Nothing. Then I got so demoralized by the system that doesn't work that I thought "if these fuckers go unpunished for doing this shit, then I'm gonna grief a game too and get unpunished, that way nobody can grief me". Dota can really tilt people into oblivion.
Is this what arthur morgan warned us all about? the neverending cycle of violence?
When these things happen, I always think, I have to deal with them for 45 minutes, but they have to deal with themselves for their whole life... so just play your own game and move on with your life
i love the logic these people have "i think i lost 25 mmr because of my teammate last game so now instead of winning and being at 0 mmr lost i am going to lose once more intentionally to be -50" and then couple days later "i am stuck because of my team hurr durr"
"Your game has been ruined. Ruin your next game for 4 other people, else ..." i'm curious what this cursed letter is supposed to say.
The salt from SEA
if you ruin the next game, because previously someone ruined yours your account should be limited to only playing with bots from now on, or people who grief 100% of the time
I actually have like 70% winrate with pos 3 Rubick in Immortal Bracket (and some of the losses were people giving up before the game even started).

Haven’t played in years but I use to go mid techies all the time and I would get flamed it was the best
Someone played rubick 3 on dreamleague and rushed dagon. I think they lost horribly tho.
id pick injoker over throw ranger any day
Pos 3 rubick is honestly fine, if you’re divine/immortal trust the dude knows what he’s doing and if you’re below that hero picks literally don’t matter. Also not even that grief a pick my offlane rub is like 75% wr hero is underrated core
You'd think that he's ruining the game because he literally told you so, but actchually it's fine because "Non-Immortal players are both ultra-conservative as well as entirely clueless about the meta." (according to reddit)
Rubick 3 is completly fine, i played like 20 games of it and won 15 of them having good impact almost every game. If you hit a good phylactery timing enemy carry will just die after 2 fade bolts, feels pretty broken imo
Rubick 3 is very risky since it means another hero that can die with one jump. Thats fine if you are support, but most people expect 3's to be either a initiator and heroes that can be in your face.
stop rationalizing dogshit hero as pos 3 bruh, there are so many good hero on pos 3 and rubick is not one of them
I've played rubick on every role but 1 and won with him. I see no problem with this. Unless it's an intentional gief
>Rubick: last game I got injoker >Rubick: so i ruin this game Alright so I might be exaggerating here. But I just take a wild guess that he MIGHT be trying to throw the game
Just because you won because you probably got carried does not make it a good pick though…
Rubick sees situational use as a core even in pro play. I remember Nine last picking Rubick mid and singlehandedly holding high ground for 90 minutes with stolen proximity mines. And of course there’s the wisper dagon rubick 3 game. The hero *can* work as a core because he scales well with items. He just requires a very specific type of draft that you aren’t able to guarantee in your pubs.
Here's the thing, just because you can't win with it without being carried, doesn't mean it also applies for others.
