Disruptor - Dino-Riding Puppet Master by E1Mariachi [7.02]

What a fantastic guide. Really motivated me to try disruptore. Many thanks for the time it must have taken to do this. Much appreciation to you, and upvoted.

Hello,

thanks a lot for great guide. I learned a LOT.

As for noob 2,5k player who usually plays support, disruptor has became one of my favourite heroes with 75% winrate from 30games and it wouldn't had happened without THIS guide.

Thanks a lot and please one more support hero guide!

He, sypherian,

thanks alot for supporting and liking this and the Wraith King guide aswell.
Makes me really happy when players get the motivation to start picking and practicing heroes out of these guides. That's basically what it's all about!

Have a nice day, E1

Great guide +1 Maybe this is the excuse to become better with Disruptor.

Keep up the good work loved your Wraith King guide as well :-D

Hey Sando,

thanks a lot for explaining the backloading mechanism of Static Storm. I knew it was scaling starting off weaker from the tooltip, but quite did not work out, that it has such a big scaling effect, especially with Aghanim's Scepter. I'll add this in now.

Especially for Disruptor I find it difficult to provide static skill build, which is not a real option anyway since build vary hugely with every change to lane composition. I tried to give some fix, case based examples and hope players will figure out themselves when to spend points on different levels.

I really appreciate your opinion and constructive comments, E1

EDIT:

Gamepedia notes that Thunder Strike in fact does deal damage to targets turning invisible (unlike turning hidden or invulnernable) regarding Bounty Hunter with Shadow Walk, though not granting the ground vision.

Thanks a lot SuperKamiGuru,

appreciate your support!

Have a nice day, E1

No problem at all El Mariachi, I think this is actually a better guide than mine - it's certainly more up to date :). Appreciate your thoughts on Glimpse, it can be difficult when doing builds not to confuse matters by adding 7 different ones for every eventuality.

To explain Static Storm, the DPS start out very low (like 24-36 DPS), and ends up quite high (300 dps at 5 seconds, 420 dps at 7). So a Static Storm that lasts 5 seconds could do a total of 520/648/780 damage to a single hero in it for the entire duration. By adding those extra 2 seconds of Scepter time, it can do 1009/1257/1512 - almost double. (figures from Dota2 wiki btw)

Keep up the good work!

Great guide and great formatting, +1 from me.

Hi Keep Calm and Feed,

Really apprecitae you liked the guide. I'll check the layout of the video section asap.

I'll keep stuff coming as soon as I am so excited about another hero, that I start theory crafting all day. But first of all there is a lot of update work coming with 6.84 items and hero changes.

I'm glad you like my titles! I really try let run thoughts through my mind as I am writing and then you start getting these strange ideas :3.

Good day to you, Sir. E1

He there, fires.of.hell,

I'm really happy you liked the guide and its length did make you lose grip on it. I really tried to give it a readable layout. I plan on adding a Combo section very soon as I have some spare time for it.

I'm very excited about the 6.84 items, though I do not think the build is going to change that drastically. I am not practicing the items and new interactions in the main client and as soon as I got an opinion on the new stuff, I'll add this in.

Greetings, E1

Good morning, Sando!

First of all: Thanks a lot for rating this guide. I'm really honored by you commenting on my take on Disruptor. I'm really impressed by your Disruptor guide, I worked with and learned from it a lot. I wasn't really sure about the making of this guide since there are already so many high-quality guides, especially yours!

Back to topic:
I personally am a fan of maxing Glimpse first and tend to do so in most cases, though I totally agree that you could leave it at level 2 and should do so, if you do not get any benefits from leveling it further, which may be the case, if you have to stick to your lane for a long time. The maxing of Glimpse, which is also followd by the competitive matches I provided, give you a nasry ganking presence and you can be active in all lanes pretty early on, what I think is the big upside of it. But after all it comes to being situational for every match up and personal preference and how you want to be present as Disruptor.

I totally agree with Aghanim's Scepter being a high priority pick in most cases. I guess I did not make this quite as clear as I intended it to be. The Point Booster is infact a great early pick up, I guess I will include this one as a seperate pick in the suggestions. Yeah, the mute component of Aghanim's Scepter gives Disruptor back his relevance for lategame, so one should try to go for it as the game proceeds into the later stages.

Would be nice for me, if you could elaborate what you mean by "backloading" from Static Storm. This expression is somehow unfamiliar to me.

I totally forgot to mention the interaction of Thunder Strike with invisible heroes, I'll add this in as soon as possible.

Thanks again for your very helpful comment, I really appreciate it!

Have a nice day, E1

Hi there ChiChi,

very happy to see you around here again! And thanks for +1-ing this one.
Give the Storm Crafter a chance, it's really worth it!

Have a nice day, E1
