Rubick relies on Spell Steal copying the last spell an enemy hero cast, so a dangerous ability used in his sight arms him with it for several minutes. Telekinesis lifts one target and stuns neighbors on landing, so spreading out limits the chain. Silence before the steal and spellblock against the lift deny him both tools.
