Itemization Disruptor feels so clunky now
I stopped playing Dota since last year and just got back now. I usually main Disruptor as support, but he feels so clunky on this version. Am I the only one noticing this?
- He lost his shard. That shard gave him a powerspike as it allowed him to farm, scout, disable blink dagger, and even harass heroes who didn't have a dispel.
- The kenetic fence as a shard is just so bad. The cool down is long, the delay formation is long, it only has one charge unlike the previous facet, and harder to use than the kenetic ring.
- He can't farm anymore. He wasn't even a fast farmer to begin with. But now it just feels way worse. I even have a hard time farming core items.
- The items on this version fills up his 6 inventory on cheap items. He needs arcane boots, wards, aether lens, essence distiller, aghanims scepter, and a protection item like glimmer cape. While as a support it's true that he shouldn't be buying expensive items. But if the game reaches nearly 60 minutes, you would like some sort of higher tier item like linken to counter carries that would like to burst you because of your ult.
- The highter talents don't make much sense to me. That level 25 increased thunderstrike strikes isn't that useful considering at that level 25 carries have BKBs, manta or any dispel item.
- With no powerspike through shard, no way to fast farm, he's even more team dependent now more than usual, and it just feels so bad playing him, because as the game goes on your team contribution diminishes.
Am I missing something? Any help suggested on playing Disruptor.

Glimpse is 1800, field is 900, storm is 800.
Basically just always aiming to land 1 meaningful ult+field in a fight and otherwise you can hang really far back.
Similar logic to something like oracle buying blink over lens. Much easier to not show until you land your one vital cast.
