imo, I think disruptor is more of a team fight heavy support.
He can initiate more effectively in the hands of a good player who understands the mechanics of glimpse, whereas the less experienced ones would only use glimpse to prevent tp saves
he does have a strong laning due to his THUNDER STRUCK,
but the ringer is his impassable wall (although rendered moot by bkbs and the like or blinks) along with the synergy with his ult
I feel that with a scepter, disruptor is able to do more than his utility healing build,
so I would put him along with AA as a teamfight eccentric and core-ish support .
max glimpse and leave your nuke at lvl 1
glimpse is an insane tool to punish bad positioning
wards are essential to do that though
nuke over glimpse can be very good
if u dont level your nuke you have no dmg if you dont need damage its fine but especially 2v1 you often need something more than just glimpse
but u certainly shouldnt max kinetic field over glimpse
I had thought of maxing glimpse before field, but at my tier there's very low communication. I remember a fight where I glimpsed an escaping void who ended up behind us and I was pinging at the spot but team kept chasing forward and void ran away.
TL;DR - Field's longer duration works better at my tier.
"Value point" glimpse is pretty useless because its range is the same as your attack range and its mana cost is absurd. You have less mana needs when you put glimpse levels first, so you can have brown boots and a small mana item, and work on other items instead of saving for mana boots. This lets you also get Phase boots or Power treads when available, as Disruptor is a support with no channeling abilities and will do plenty of damage from just right clicks.
If solo mid, you might want to max Thunder Strike first. It's not good for securing last hits but does a lot of damage to the enemy hero. You still need one point into Kinetic Field by level 5 in order for your ult to be worth casting unless your team has plenty of long duration disables. Securing farm for Disruptor can make him deadly though, his Aghs is sick.

Lately I've been playing a little bit of disruptor and those games have gone good, I like his skillset but I'm lost as to what role he fills.
Not in the broad sense as a support, but what type
Should I be going full utility mek arcane, or get some stuff to boost my dmg, like veil for ult.
And is he an initiator with E and R ? or Counter initiatior?
Any pros who play disruptor regularly?
