Image changes on Rubick page
The image of Rubick should be changed to the newer version (the one in the client) and the question mark in the square should be changed to the small picture of Rubick's face.

Telekinesis interaction with dead units
I found that if you cast telekinesis on a unit, which then dies, the drop occurs immediately upon death and nearby units are stunned. This is an interesting little interaction which is rarely mentioned. Should this be added into the notes for that ability?

In what order is the "last spell cast" calculated?
For instance, it says he can steal toggle abilities such as Rot - which brings up a question: if Pudge casts Dismember, and activates Rot while Dismember is channeling, and Rubick ults Pudge after Dismember has ended, does he steal Rot or Dismember? In other words, are channeled spells set as "last spell cast" when they start, or when they end?

Similarly, are toggles counted as "last spell cast" when turned off (because technically, to turn off Rot, you cast it again)? 74.59.181.98 23:24, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Trivia
Like many of the characters in DOTA2, Rubick's backstory contains an homage to other works of fiction and fantasy. Agahnim is the name of the primary antagonist in the first half of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Fittingly and obviously, LOZ's incarnation of Agahnim was also a Wizard, one who had enslaved the Royal Family of Hyrule and worked to open the portal to the Dark World and free Ganon, the true antagonist of the game. I believe this is worthy of mention, as the creative team behind DOTA2 found it necessary to liberally use the names of characters, places, and ideas from various works of popular fiction in books, video games, anime, even Magic: the Gathering.

 * It's not really worth mentioning because it's trivia on the Aghanim's Scepter page. I don't feel that it's worth duplicating on both pages, but there's nothing wrong with doing it either.

Resetting the cooldown
"There is a small gap between the spell steal and the spell cooldown reset (Resets the spell cooldown before it changes the spell to the stolen spell). Because of this, you can cast a spell 2 times back to back. This can be done by casting the spell, stealing another spell, and in that gap casting the spell again. (This combo is difficult to do, and needs a lot of practice to perform successfully.)" - Is this really possible? I've tried it in a private lobby and never had success. Now this is probably due the "This combo is difficult to do" but I was wondering if maybe it was fixed/changed instead. --151.29.154.107 01:00, 27 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree, I was skeptical when I first let this onto the page, but decided to let it slide because I didn't know how to do it. Looking over it, and failing at it myself for a while, it was most likely fixed and I will remove it. --PimpadelicX (talk) 20:49, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Pusher? More like Nuker
I'm pretty sure Rubick's a Nuker, and not a Pusher. 122.164.151.68
