Counters these heroes:

Magnus

* All of Magnus's spells are perfect for Rubick to steal, especially Reverse Polarity for a counter-initiation.
* Rubick Telekinesis Telekinesis is one of the best instant-disables in the game, completely ruining Magnus's initiation.
Additional:
* Magnus Reverse Polarity Reverse Polarity, if stolen, can counter-initiate Magnus Magnus's team and put them at a huge disadvantage.
* Magnus himself is positioned at the center of teamfight after casting Reverse Polarity, and will be stunned by Rubick's stolen one most of the times.
* Bear in mind that Magnus will usually cass Magnus Skewer Skewer or Magnus Shockwave Shockwave after he casts the ultimate, so the time windows left for steal can be short.
* Shockwave allows Rubick to farm fast, and also deals decent AoE damage in teamfights.
* Magnus Empower Empower can be casted on the carry (especially affective if melee) on Rubick's team to accelerate their farm or amplify their damage in fights.
* Magnus Skewer Skewer could be used to displace enemy or escape from danger.

Magnus

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Heroes with catch to disrupt Sniper's positioning and deliver him into the enemies: Batrider, Disruptor, Pudge Pudge, Vengeful Spirit.

Counters these heroes:

Magnus

Necrophos

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)

Counters these heroes:

Magnus

* Heroes that have high health but little to no magic resistance are easy prey for Necrophos, as no matter how high they build their health up, Reaper's Scythe will kill them outright as long as they fall under a certain threshold, and Heartstopper Aura will deal the same amount of damage regardless, decaying their health the longer they stay within range. As such, Strength heroes like Chaos Knight, Centaur Warrunner or Magnus Magnus are good targets for his ultimate.

Spectre

[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 11%)

Counters these heroes:

Magnus

Additional:
* Spectre can use Spectre Haunt Haunt to intercept and disrupt Magnus's initiation attempts.
* Spectre Spectral Dagger Spectral Dagger can severely slow down Magnus after he uses Magnus Skewer Skewer.
* Magnus often travels alone when he is trying to initiate, so Spectre Desolate Desolate can be very effective against him.

Countered by:

Disruptor

Better not pick these:

Monkey King

[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Disruptor Thunder Strike Thunder Strike provides vision of Monkey King when he's in the trees. The periodic damage will also keep Monkey King from using Tree Dance if he's on the ground.
* Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse pulls Monkey King out of the trees if he attempts to escape using Tree Dance, and can cause Wukong's Command to end prematurely if Monkey King is Glimpsed out of its radius.
* However, if Monkey King strikes first, if he has already casted Wukong's Command, Disruptor's abilities will not be much of an use

Magnus

* Magnus Skewer Skewer and Magnus Reverse Polarity Reverse Polarity will often push Monkey King out of Wukong's Command.

Shadow Fiend

[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 18%)

Disruptor

* Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse and Disruptor Kinetic Field Kinetic Field allows Disruptor to set up some early kills onto Shadow Fiend.

Queen of Pain

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Queen of Pain Blink Blink and positioning is crucial for Queen of Pain. These factors are heavily countered by a good Glimpse.
* Static Storm is devastating for Queen as she relies heavily on her spells to inflict heavy burst damage.
Additional:
* Disruptor Thunder Strike Thunder Strike gives vision of Queen of Pain when she's trying to escape. When combined with Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse, her mobility and hit-and-run style can be negated.

* When combined with the Disruptor Kinetic Field Kinetic Field, she can only wait until she respawns.

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse drags Spirit Breaker back from an escaping Charge, or takes him out of a ganking Charge.
* However, after purchasing Aghanim Aghanim's Shard, a well-timed Nether Strike will completely nullify the Glimpse during a gank attempt.
* Disruptor Static Storm Static Storm can be used to instantly stop his charge if absolutely necessary, and also prevent a follow-up Nether Strike.

Storm Spirit

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)

Countered by:

Disruptor

* At around the 10-minute mark, Disruptor would normally be level 6 or 7. This means you can have a level 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 Storm Spirit Ball Lightning Ball Lightning due to his limited mana pool at that time.
* Be careful in the late game however, as there is a good chance he will kill you straight-out before Glimpse has finished bringing him back. Therefore Glimpse would simply bring him back to safety after he's murdered you or a teammate. Of course, this is assuming he hasn't silenced you with an item.

Clockwerk

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse moves Clockwerk away from allies struck by Hookshot, or under attack by Battery Assault.

Underlord

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse will return Underlord or any of his teammates attempting to escape with Dark Rift if timed correctly.
* Underlord is a slow and low mobility hero, easy to set up Disruptor Static Storm Static Storm and Disruptor Kinetic Field Kinetic Field, preventing him from using his abilities as well as preventing him using Dark Rift to escape

Earthshaker

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Disruptor Thunder Strike Thunder Strike can be used to cancel Earthshaker's Blink Dagger.
* Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse brings Earthshaker back after he jumps on Aghanim Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Enchant Totem.
* Disruptor Static Storm Static Storm if used on a fight can prevent Earthshaker from executing his combo after blinking in.

Centaur Warrunner

* Disruptor Kinetic Field Kinetic Field and Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse can completely negate Stampede.

Io

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Disruptor can always Glimpse back Io or his target after he Io Relocate Relocated nearby.
* Even better, thanks to the indicator on the ground, you can even preemptively drop Static Storm and Kinetic Field on the spot they will relocate to.

Additional:
* Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse directly negates Relocate.
* Disruptor Kinetic Field Kinetic Field prevents Io from escaping with Tether.
* Disruptor Static Storm Static Storm can silence and damage both, Io and it's tethered target. And it can also mute both, Io and it's tethered target when upgraded with Aghanim Aghanim's Scepter

Countered by:

Magnus

Phantom Assassin

[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 10%)

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Doom Doom, Disruptor with Aghanim Aghanim's Scepter, and hex abilities all prevent item usage, which is a severe problem for Phantom Assassin as it prevents her from using Black King Bar, the one item that helps protect her against the aforementioned dangers. Doom Doom and Shadow Demon with Aghanim Aghanim's Scepter also disables Phantom Assassin's Evasion and Critical Strike, removing much of her damage and survivabaility.

Nature's Prophet

Dark Seer

[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 2%)

Countered by:

Disruptor

[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)

Counters these heroes:

Magnus

Countered by:

Disruptor

* In the mid-game, Tidehunter relies on Tidehunter Kraken Shell Kraken Shell to stay alive and get his Tidehunter Ravage Ravage off. Apart from Thunder Strike, none of Disruptor's abilities can be dispelled, 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, so be sure that you can kill him with your combo or your partners while he is silenced and trapped.

Slark

[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 17%)

Counters these heroes:

Magnus

* Heroes with blink or movement abilities, which are disabled by Pounce's leash: Anti-Mage, Earth Spirit, Faceless Void, Magnus Magnus, Mirana Mirana, Monkey King, Morphling, Pangolier, Phantom Assassin, Phoenix Phoenix, Puck Puck, Queen of Pain, Riki Riki, Sand King, Spirit Breaker, Timbersaw, Tusk Tusk.

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Thunder Strike provides vision on him while Slark is invisible.
* Glimpse's range at lvl 3-4 is more than enough to pull him back to a favorable position for your team to group up and kill him.
* Even though he is capable of picking you off and deal enough damage to kill you, Slark will be literally sticking his neck out, since jumping on Disruptor means being on his battleground.
* AoE silence and the ability to mute Black King Bar is deadly to Slark at all stages of the game.
Additional:
* Disruptor Static Storm Static Storm and Disruptor Kinetic Field Kinetic Field locks down Slark, as he cannot use Dark Pact to dispel any disables, or Pounce out while silenced.
* Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse puts an end to any attempts at ganking Disruptor or his allies, and also negates Slark's mobility by bringing him back into the fight if he tries to escape with Pounce.

Anti-Mage

[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 11%)

Counters these heroes:

Magnus

* Heroes who build mana boosting items but have low mana regeneration are especially vulnerable against Mana Break and Mana Void: Timbersaw, Slark Slark, Shadow Fiend, Clinkz Clinkz, Bristleback Nyx Assassin, Magnus Magnus

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse brings Anti-Mage back after he Blinks away.
* Disruptor Static Storm Static Storm stops Anti-Mage from Blinking.
Additional:
* Similar to Queen of Pain, Glimpse can disable Anti-Mage Blink Blink, negating his mobility.
* However, Anti-Mage Counterspell Counterspell can negate a majority of Disruptor's damage, which may require him to have a partner to successfully kill Anti-Mage.

Chaos Knight

[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 3%)

Counters these heroes:

Disruptor

* Phantasm removes Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse and dispels Disruptor Thunder Strike Thunder Strike. Additionally, the Phantasm illusions make it difficult to use Glimpse and Thunder Strike on the real Chaos Knight.
* Disruptor's lack of mobility, combined with his lack of innate defense, sets him up for a Reality Rift and a beatdown by Chaos Knight and his illusions.

Countered by:

Magnus

* Using Reality Rift sets up a Magnus Reverse Polarity Reverse Polarity on Chaos Knight and his illusions.
* Magnus Shockwave Shockwave and Magnus Skewer Skewer kill Phantasm's illusions quickly, as can Magnus Empower Empower cast on a melee carry.
Additional:
* All Magnus abilities are very good against Chaos Knight's Chaos Knight Phantasm Phantasm illusions.

* Lifestealer with Lifestealer Infest Infest
* Phoenix Phoenix with Phoenix Supernova Supernova

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Riki Riki and Disruptor: Riki Smoke Screen Smoke Screen and Disruptor Static Storm Static Storm can be thrown wherever Puck used Phase Shift, making Puck an easy target if it doesn't have Blink Dagger or is on cooldown. Puck is also very susceptible to Riki's high attack damage when attacking from the back. Glimpse also prevents Puck from escaping.

Lifestealer

[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)

Counters these heroes:

Disruptor

* Lifestealer Rage Rage can be used to escape from a Glimpse and to move out of Kinetic Field.
* Lifestealer Infest Infest allows Lifestealer to dodge Glimpse.

Countered by:

Magnus

* Reverse Polarity pierces through Lifestealer Rage Rage, wasting part of it's duration.
* Magnus is tanky and mobile, making it hard for Lifestealer to focus and kill him in all stages of a game.

Primal Beast

[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)

Counters these heroes:

Magnus

* Magnus is not tanky and struggles against burst damage, something Primal Beast excels at in the early-to-mid game. Primal Beast is also able to out-damage Magnus's Magnus Empower Empower and can even contribute to his Uproar stacks.
* Using Magnus Skewer Skewer to drag Primal Beast while he is trampling will count as movement and will trigger a rapid number of slams, which could prove lethal to Magnus.

Countered by:

Disruptor

* Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse can prevent Onslaught in the laning stage very easily.
* While Disruptor Static Storm Static Storm is not much of a threat in terms of damage, it does prevent Primal Beast from casting any spells for a long period of time if also trapped in Disruptor Kinetic Field Kinetic Field.
* Overall, Disruptor forces Primal Beast to buy a Black King Bar much earlier than he might like but becomes a major threat to Disruptor once he does.

Phantom Lancer

[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)

Counters these heroes:

Disruptor

* Phantom Lancer Doppelganger Doppelganger is a very reliable tool against Glimpse, enabling him to dodge it consistently.
* Doppelganger also allows Phantom Lancer to escape from Kinetic Field so long as there isn't a Static Storm on top of him.
Additional:
* Doppelganger lets Phantom Lancer instantly escape from Disruptor Kinetic Field Kinetic Field.
* Phantom Lancer Doppelganger Doppelganger is one of the most reliable ways to dodge Disruptor Glimpse Glimpse, other than spell immunity.
* Doppelganger dispels Disruptor Thunder Strike Thunder Strike.
* However, even with the negation of the rest of his kit, Disruptor Static Storm Static Storm (especially when upgraded with Aghanim Aghanim's Scepter) remains as one of the strongest lockdowns against Phantom Lancer, and as such Disruptor must never be underestimated.

Countered by:

Magnus

* Magnus Empower Empower helps Magnus' allies clear out illusions.
* Magnus Reverse Polarity Reverse Polarity and Magnus Skewer Skewer will pull Phantom Lancer along with his illusions, and reposition them together for easy nuking.
* Magnus Shockwave Shockwave deals significant area damage in the early game,destroys phantoms and may even indicate the real Phantom Lancer.
