Rubick — hero grid for mains

Rubick is what the game calls the hero in every client; Russian-speaking players say “Рубик”. The site's dictionary has no English nickname for Rubick — people just type the name.

Valve's one-line description from the hero list: “Steals the spells of his enemies to use against them”.

In the editor's hero picker, typing “Rubick” or “Рубик” brings up Rubick.

Rubick: Intelligence attribute, shared with 33 other heroes; ranged attack; Valve rates the complexity hard, 3 of 3, one of only 13 heroes at the top level.

Valve's roles for Rubick, rated 1 to 3: Support ●●○, Nuker ●○○, Disabler ●○○; none reaches the full three dots.

By attributes puts Rubick in the “INTELLIGENCE” (25th of 34) block; By complexity — in the “HARD” (12th of 13) band.
