usually i get clarities -> soulring -> normal boots -> BKB -> blink how would you set the priorities for BKB/blink? depending on the own team and opponents or just say "always get itemX first than itemY" ? also a question, run enigma in the jungle (if no other jungler in team) or lane him (which lane?)? | ||

Your build, in most cases, should involve Soulring -> Mek -> BKB/Blink. Mek mostly because he's a very strong Mek carrier and can farm it quickly and easily. It also helps him in his role as a pusher. BKB/Blink depends on the individual game and your needs. You can also consider Linkens in some cases instead or on top of the BKB (think Beastmaster, VS, Rubick) but that's more of an edge case. Enigma is the fastest jungler in the game which results in him being run there most of the time. His solo offlane is solid (denies and/or the ability to just jungle instead) and his mid is also very strong (denies+strong lasthitting with eidolons). However as I said his ability to jungle (hitting 6 before solos is reasonable) is just unparalleled. | ||

I think that's been the case since 6.77, but I can't remember exactly | ||

bkb or mek first requires you to position well in every fight. blink punishes bad positioning really hard | ||

Pretty much the only reason you pick Disruptor is for Glimpse, as any other support offers more of everything else. Glimpse was particularly strong in the era when Anti-Mage/QoP/Morphling were prevalent since you could simply pull them back after their blinks/waveform, possibly into your ultimate's silence, making them easier to gank. He was also picked when Nature's Prophet and Wisp/X were at their prime. AM/QoP/Morphling have all fallen off, and Furion/Wisp also had a period where they were picked less often. As Furion and Wisp are appearing much more often nowadays particularly in Western Dota, it wouldn't surprise me to see him picked a bit more soon as a counter to them. | ||

People stopped contesting trilanes so he hasn't been as needed. Other supports do better jobs of roaming / pushing so he's kinda useless right now | ||

You generally wait till teamfights begin to start skilling it. For ganks and small skirmishes, your 2 nukes are typically better. You shouldn't need BKB to make your ult usable in fights. Clever positioning (ramps/ledges, behind trees, etc.) should help you position your ult safely, you should try not to get in close until major spells are blown, and if people are going to kill you after that, a Ghost Scepter will probably be more beneficial if you're smart about waiting till major spells are blown before using it. | ||

I think people should level stuff according to the situation. I just had a game where a clockwerk didn't level his ulti until level 8, that's because we were in the middle of a teamfight, and max cogs or rockets would have been more helpful than the hook, plus he was short on mana. Probably the main reason you should use the "level skill" hotkey: to level abilities in the middle of fights. This reminds me of when my keyboard was broken and it kept sending double key strokes, so I pressed "R" to level up magnus' ultimate and I ended up using it on the creeps. lol | ||

Ok, follow up question. How many heroes should I be trying to hit with it? If I'm off to the side waiting, then given her slow speed, I can't imagine getting into a prime position in time. | ||

and yeah, just try to control space with cm ult. generally you're only going to be hitting 1 or 2 heroes with it, but if you can get a massive ult off go for it; cm ult damage output is ridiculously high, especially if you're lucky and all the blasts hit | ||
