Glimpse is one of those spells that would get a random poster laughed out of the forum if they presented it as a create-your-own-skill. It's just so damn OP. You see someone and it's a free 2k range lasso if they run away. Ah I love it.

cus whats a disruptor gonna do with farm and levels
lvls barely do anything on him past max glimpse
farms just buys him standard utility items like force
aghs is nice but generally not a gamechanger

Early Blink+Force basically wins you fights for 20 minutes before anyone buys BKB because they'll never ever have a proper 5v5 unless they dive you due to how easy pickoffs are with Glimpse with boosted range. And if they just 5 man dive, Static Field is actually pretty ridiculous counter-initiation since it's an instant cast time.

why cant they have a 5v5? they just cant comfortably retreat, which is almost the same as with support disruptor. besides that if u REALLY need more glimpse range someone else can buy a force for u

and if u want to win teamfights ur better off with an actual playmaker like brew or puck or w.e

i mean its workable but really not that good

Glimpse range is just that useful. It's the same general concept why Batrider/Pudge can go mid. The initiation is ridiculous and a mid Disruptor actually has a lot of damage to shit over side lanes with a level advantage.

Rupter is completely nuts when pushing because if the other team tps to the tower in vision range you can just glimpse them and now its 5v4 with the use of a 18sec cd spell.

And max glimpse range is one of the largest ranges in the game PERIOD. 1800 range is the exact max range of day vision, so a max glimpse people have a ZERO % chance of running if they don't see you with wards. Makes pushing towers incredibly nervewracking because the rupter team can just 5 man tele there and if the rupter teled 1st or second you are dead.

Glimpse is just SO GOOD and so satisfying. Few things are most enjoyable than glimpsing people after they tp

The one thing is you need to have a somewhat coordinated team. Rupter can't do a ton by himself, but with 1-2 other people working with you he's insanely powerful all game

While this is true, it's also true of plenty of other mid heroes that "only" use their farm for team items (Arcanes Meka, etc.). Many of them don't even have an Agha upgrade as good as Disruptor's.

I've simply never seen a hero needing to use their farm solely for team utility items as being a huge downside. Getting a Meka/Force/Sheep/etc. as early as a mid solo can provide it is strong enough in it's own right that I don't think it can be considered a fatal flaw of having such a hero mid.

but all the utility item buyers are interchangable
as in u still have an early mek or w.e with all of them
so why send a level independent hero mid
even something like veno or jak would make more sense

Both Jak and Veno influence the game in a more standard, straightforward way by grinding down towers or contributing AOE control and damage in a teamfight.

Disruptor completely changes how the game is played and that's pretty significant. I also don't agree that he's level independent. He has impact as a lower level support but I think higher levels of Kinetic Field and Static Storm when going mid are pretty strong too.

As a disruptor, you want to be lvl 7 ASAP
then they don't really matters

Just because disruptor can do well without many levels doesn't mean he's level independent. He does extremely well with quick levels and farm. His nuke is incredibly damage efficient (and you'll never get to level it unless you're running him mid), and his ulti scales extremely well with levels. His aghs-ulti does a terrifying amount of damage. Add a blink and you can win teamfights at any point in the game.

I'm not going to sit here and scream "disruptor mid new meta", but it's definitely viable and not to be underestimated.

Thrall mid has insane ganking power, most heroes have absolutely no escape from a well-executed Thrall gank when he has a level advantage, you either see the gank coming and hide or you die. Its just hard in pubs because you typically can't do much on your own, you need follow-up to his great mix of damage and CC.

I gotta say, just had a disruptor game, man Glimpse is fucking amazing when you are ganking/ahead. Nobody escapes.

Though I can see how this hero can be useless but when game is going poorly. If the enemy team isn't out of position, you can't force them if they don't peak forward, not like vengeful can force them to be in a bad spot. Disruptor feels like he can have a bigger impact, but can be less stable of a support. But I feel like he's one of those support heroes that is the worst to play against when you are behind.

Empire is doing some pretty cool shit right now with Disruptor against NaVi's Medusa/Puck/Brew. Empire using the hawk vision from Beastmaster to catch glimpses, ravages synergizing really well with kinetics and static storms.

Kind of a clinic going on, Empire.ALOHADANCE definitely worth watching if you enjoy this hero.

I don't want rupter to become popular again, he's so rare to see that many people just brain fart and get destroyed by glimpse and your early harass

No Disruptor discussion in a while - almost a year. Do people (besides me) still play disruptor? Any pro players out there known for their disruptors? If not, what happened to him? I'm not sure he was ever one of the most popular supports out there, but is seems to me he used be more popular than he is now.

He is still relevant, but he isn't a hero that fits into multiple lineups. Generally a 3rd 4th or 5th pick in response against maybe io wisp or something.
