Disruptor/Counters

Bad against...

 * As always, Disruptor has little means to deal with the magic immunity provided by . But it's especially bad for Disruptor as you may be tricked into glimpsing him back and pre-emptively casting Kinetic Field and Static Storm, only to realize he was never brought back.
 * However, he can't use Blade Fury if Static Storm is already on top of him; or if you patiently waited it out

 * is a very reliable tool against, enabling him to dodge it consistently. It also allows him to escape so long as there isn't  on top of him
 * Once he has an illusion army up, you'll be lucky to get good value out of and Glimpse.


 * at early/mid/late game counters all Disruptor's abilities. Disruptor also need a good early game and is not a come-back hero.

Others

Items

Good against...

 * Thunder strike gives vision to him while being invisible.
 * Glimpse's range at lvl 3-4 is more than enough to pull him back to a favourable position for your team to group up and kill him.
 * AoE silence and ability to mute BKB is deadly to Slark at all stages of the game.


 * Blink and positioning is crucial for QoP. These factors are heavily countered by a good Glimpse.
 * Static Storm is devastating for Queen as she relies heavily on her spell inflict heavy burst damage.


 * Same as Queen of Pain. However the damage of Static Storm is negligible at end-game stage.


 * In the mid-game, Tidehunter relies on to stay alive and get his  off. Apart from Thunder Strike, none of Disruptor's abilities can be purged, so it's rather easy to trap him inside Kinetic Field and Static Storm.
 * Be mindful however that Kraken Shell still makes Tidehunter very tanky and be sure that you can kill him with your combo or your partners while he is silenced and trapped.


 * At around 10-minute mark, Disruptor would normally have lvl 6-7. This means there is a lvl 3/4 glimpse along with Static Storm. A high level glimpse is enough to pull Storm back to a Static Storm even after he used Ball Lightning due to his limited mana pool at that time (assuming he was not fed, no BloodStone).

Others

 * It is an extremely high reward for a high objective, seeing that getting as a support  is a bit difficult.

Works well with...

 * and can do a great combo. Their high and channeling ( case) duration will unleash 's max damage.


 * Both Heroes can set up a good initiation for each other. They have strong AoE abilities with long disables and high damage.


 * Keeping enemies within helps  to stack the slow on them and allow his Golems to do a real mess.


 * Can abuse his range with a barrage of arrows against silenced and trapped enemies.

Others
