Rubick's Unintended HP Advantage: A Permanent Gain After Casting Stolen Morphling Attribute Shift (Strength Gain)

In the world of Dota 2, heroes have unique abilities and playstyles that set them apart from one another. However, sometimes these abilities can have unintended consequences, leading to exploits and imbalances in the game. One such example is the behavior of Rubick when he casts Morphling's Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) and gains permanent HP. In this article, we will delve into the details of this issue, its impact on the game, and the steps to reproduce it.

When Rubick steals and casts Morphling's Attribute Shift (Strength Gain), he gains HP as expected due to shifting agility into strength. However, if Rubick dies while the spell is active, the bonus HP remains permanently even though:

  • The spell is no longer active or present in his ability bar.
  • Rubick respawns with no status effect.
  • The HP bonus should be removed upon death or spell expiration.

This behavior is not in line with the expected outcome, and it can be exploited to give Rubick a significant and unintended HP advantage for the rest of the game.

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Pick Rubick and Morphling in a match: Start a new game with Rubick and Morphling as your heroes.
  2. Rubick steals Morphling's Attribute Shift (Strength Gain): Use Rubick's spell-stealing ability to steal Morphling's Attribute Shift (Strength Gain).
  3. Activate it and let the HP increase over time: Activate the stolen spell and let the HP increase over time.
  4. Die while the strength shift is active: Die while the strength shift is active, and the HP bonus is still present.
  5. After respawn, note the bonus HP is still present: After respawning, note that the bonus HP is still present, even though the spell is no longer active.

The expected behavior is that Rubick's max HP should return to normal after death or losing the spell. This is because the HP bonus is tied to the active spell, and when the spell expires or the hero dies, the bonus HP should be removed.

However, the actual behavior is that the bonus HP from the strength shift remains indefinitely. This means that Rubick gains a significant and unintended HP advantage for the rest of the game.

This issue can be abused to give Rubick a significant and unintended HP advantage for the rest of the game, potentially exploitable in ranked matches. This can lead to an imbalance in the game, where Rubick has an unfair advantage over other heroes.

In conclusion, the behavior of Rubick when he casts Morphling's Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) and gains permanent HP is an unintended consequence of the game's mechanics. This issue can be exploited to give Rubick a significant and unintended HP advantage, potentially leading to an imbalance in the game. We hope that the developers will address this issue and restore the expected behavior to ensure a fair and balanced game for all players.
