dota 2 guide

BIO
There is no such thing as harmony among the creatures of the Yama Raskav Jungle. By bite, or claw, or pincer, or hoof, even the slightest sign of weakness means a swift death. They say the Rider was just a lad cutting chaff in his family's field when he was taken, swept up by a massive morde-bat looking for take-out. But this boy had a better idea, and wriggled his way from his captor's grip, onto the beast's back, and hacked it down with his tools. Emerging from the bloody wreckage and intoxicated by the thrill of flight, the boy realized he'd found his calling. The boy grew, and every summer he'd return to his family's field, often setting out into the bush seeking to reclaim that first thrill of facing death in the form of jaws or a fatal fall. The years went on, but his fire only grew stronger. He studied the overgrowth, plunging deeper with each expedition, until finally he found his way to the caves at the heart of hostility. They say the Rider, on the eve of a scorching summer night, had nothing but a rope, a bottle of liquid courage and a burning determination to feel the skies once more, when he plunged inside...

STATS

ABILITIES
1. Sticky Napalm
Drenches an area in sticky oil, amplifying damage from Batrider's attacks and abilities and slowing the movement speed and turn rate of enemies in the area. Additional casts of Sticky Napalm continue to increase damage, up to 10 stacks.
It's not uncommon to hear the Rider cackle while he increases the flammability of his opponents.
A very good skill on early game. You can use this to slow down enemies and also amplify your damage. With the amplified, damage, you can easily last hits the creeps on early game. And with the slowing and amplifying ability, it will be so good to damaging and chasing enemies in a gank and in a teamfight. You should cast this multiple times to stack the effect, so you will have your damage amplified by a lot to your target, and also your target will move so slow because of this skill.

2. Flamebreak
Hurls an explosive cocktail that explodes when it reaches the target location, knocking back and dealing damage to enemies in the area.
A molotov cocktail is the weapon of choice for Batrider.
Deal damage and knock back enemies in the AoE, a nice nuke to helps reduce enemies HP in a gank and in a teamfight. This skill is needed to break your enemy's concentration.

3. Firefly
Batrider takes to the skies, laying down a flaming trail from the air. While flying, the trail of fire destroys trees and damages enemies in its path, and Batrider gains the movement capabilities of a flying unit.
When an enemy escapes into the Yama Raskav Jungle, most would cut through the brush to find the fugitive. Batrider just chooses to destroy the jungle along with his foes.
A skill to release fire in the area. It will deal damage per second. A very good skill to cast in a teamfight.

4. Flaming Lasso
Lassoes an enemy and drags them in Batrider's wake. Victims cannot be dragged over impassable terrain. Dragged units cannot move, attack, or use abilities. Teleporting or blinking will break the lasso.
Few dare to ask to ride on the bat, as Batrider gives them free of charge.
Catch an enemy and bind them in a lasso, make them can't move and you can drag him to any direction you want. A perfect initiating skill to start a gank.

BIO
Any mage can cast a spell or two, and a few may even study long enough to become a wizard, but only the most talented are allowed to be recognized as a Magus. Yet as with any sorcerer's circle, a sense of community has never guaranteed competitive courtesy.

Already a renowned duelist and scholar of the grander world of sorcery, it had never occurred to Rubick that he might perhaps be Magus material until he was in the midst of his seventh assassination attempt. As he casually tossed the twelfth of a string of would-be killers from a high balcony, it dawned on him how utterly unimaginative the attempts on his life had become. Where once the interruption of a fingersnap or firehand might have put a cheerful spring in his step, it had all become so very predictable. He craved greater competition. Therefore, donning his combat mask, he did what any wizard seeking to ascend the ranks would do: he announced his intention to kill a Magus.

Rubick quickly discovered that to threaten one Magus is to threaten them all, and they fell upon him in force. Each antagonist's spell was an unstoppable torrent of energy, and every attack a calculated killing blow. But very soon something occurred that Rubick's foes found unexpected: their arts appeared to turn against them. Inside the magic maelstrom, Rubick chuckled, subtly reading and replicating the powers of one in order to cast it against another, sowing chaos among those who had allied against him. Accusations of betrayal began to fly, and soon the sorcerers turned one upon another without suspecting who was behind their undoing.

When the battle finally drew to a close, all were singed and frozen, soaked and cut and pierced. More than one lay dead by an ally's craft. Rubick stood apart, sore but delighted in the week's festivities. None had the strength to argue when he presented his petition of assumption to the Hidden Council, and the Insubstantial Eleven agreed as one to grant him the title of Grand Magus.

INTRODUCTION
Rubik is a hero that is noted for his skill to steal others spell and use it for the benefit of his team. It is nice to steal some deathly ultimate and the use it to the enemy. He also have some other nice spell, like a chain lightning, a skill to lift up a target and stun on the landing area. An he also have magic resistence aura to help the team survive from a enemys magic skills.
STATS

ABILITIES

1. Telekinesis
Rubick uses his telekinetic powers to lift the enemy into the air briefly and then hurls them back at the ground. The unit lands on the ground with such force that it stuns nearby enemies.
Even the Grandest Magus may use his powers for enjoyment.
Lift a unit and stun the area in the landing AoE. a nice skill to disable a target and also disable an area around the target.
You can also use this to isolate a target into the hill.
You can make your target nearer from you so it will be easier to harass him.

Telekinesis Land
Chooses the location the target will land when Telekinesis finishes.

ABILITY: POINT TARGET

2. Fade Bolt
Rubick creates a powerful stream of arcane energy that travels between enemy units, dealing damage and reducing their attack damage. Each jump deals less damage.
Rubick's favori. spell for dispatching would-be assassins is a rather simple conjuration.
This is your main skill for farming, controlling lane, harassing, and killing.
This skill is a jumping lightning that deals some damage and reduce the attack damage of the target who affected to it.

3. Null Field
Rubick's mastery of the arcane protects his allies against weaker magics, granting them magic resistance.


Not every magus can be a Grand Magus...
Gives a nice magic resistence to all allies nearby. A very good skill to increase team's defense in a teamfight so your team can survive in a though teamfight.

4. Spell Steal
Rubick studies the trace magical essence of one enemy hero, learning the secrets of the last spell the hero cast. Rubick can use this spell as his own for several minutes or until he dies.


...but even their lesser magics can be a source of much utility.
This is your most annoying skill for the enemy. You can steal a spell from a target and you can use the spell against the it's owner.
There so many possibilities from using this skill. You can steal some very nice ultimate like Ravage, Chain Frost, or Black Hole and use it against the owner of these spells.
The spell you got, is depends on what is the last spell casted by the target. So if an Enigma successfully casted Decomic Conversion right after he finished his Blackhole and you can't catch up, you will gain Demonic Conversion instead of a Blackhole, so be careful, try to use your hands quickly after he finishes the spell you want to steal.
