Rubick is one of the highest skill cap supports in the game because of his ultimate, which if appropriately timed, will steal your opponents powerful skills. This means that you can easily turn the tide of a fight with a ravage, stun, or other skill.

Your main role in the early and mid game is the same as a regular support, which is ganking and protecting, but in the mid game, you pick up teamfight items like Force Staff and Blink and you can look to swing teamfights.
