Dota 2 - Disruptor Build Guide
0
BIO
High on the wind-ravaged steppes of Druud, a gifted young stormcrafter called Disruptor was the first to unlock the secrets of the summer squalls. Constantly under assault from both seasonal storms and encroachment from civilized kingdoms to the South, the upland Oglodi have for centuries struggled to subsist atop the endless tablelands. They are the fractured remnant of a once-great civilization--a fallen tribe, their stormcraft strange and inscrutable, cobbled together from scraps of lost knowledge which even they no longer fully understand. For those on the high plain, weather has become a kind of religion, worshiped as both the giver and taker of life. But the electrical storms that bring life-sustaining rains arrive at a cost, and many are the charred and smoking corpses left in their wake.
Although small for his kind, Disruptor is fearless, and driven by an insatiable curiosity. As a youth, while still unblooded and without a stryder, he explored the ruins of the ancestral cities--searching through collapsed and long-moldering libraries, rummaging through rusting manufactories. He took what he needed and returned to his tribe. Adapting a coil of ancient design, he harnessed the power of electrical differential and now calls down the thunder whenever he wishes. Part magic, part craftsmanship, his coils hold in their glowing plates the power of life and death--a power wielded with precision against the landed castes to the South, and any interlopers who cross into ancient Oglodi lands.

BIO
A wiry silhouette hitches forward--uneven of feature and limb, bizarre of gait, relentlessly criss-crossing the battlefield in search of that vital weak point where his talents can do most good, and most harm. Whether broken or mismade it is not clear, but still, none can doubt the power carried in his twisted physique. A long staff thumps the earth as Zharvakko the Witch Doctor advances, deploying a terrifying arsenal of fetishes, hexes and spells. It is a body of magical knowledge learned and perfected over several lifetimes in the island highlands of Arktura, now wielded with precision accuracy against his enemies. Zharvakko can be your best friend or your worst enemy--healing allies and laying waste to all who oppose him.

Dota 2 - Rubik Build Guide
0
BIO
Any mage can cast a spell or two, and a few may even study long enough to become a wizard, but only the most talented are allowed to be recognized as a Magus. Yet as with any sorcerer's circle, a sense of community has never guaranteed competitive courtesy.
Already a renowned duelist and scholar of the grander world of sorcery, it had never occurred to Rubick that he might perhaps be Magus material until he was in the midst of his seventh assassination attempt. As he casually tossed the twelfth of a string of would-be killers from a high balcony, it dawned on him how utterly unimaginative the attempts on his life had become. Where once the interruption of a fingersnap or firehand might have put a cheerful spring in his step, it had all become so very predictable. He craved greater competition. Therefore, donning his combat mask, he did what any wizard seeking to ascend the ranks would do: he announced his intention to kill a Magus.
Rubick quickly discovered that to threaten one Magus is to threaten them all, and they fell upon him in force. Each antagonist's spell was an unstoppable torrent of energy, and every attack a calculated killing blow. But very soon something occurred that Rubick's foes found unexpected: their arts appeared to turn against them. Inside the magic maelstrom, Rubick chuckled, subtly reading and replicating the powers of one in order to cast it against another, sowing chaos among those who had allied against him. Accusations of betrayal began to fly, and soon the sorcerers turned one upon another without suspecting who was behind their undoing.
When the battle finally drew to a close, all were singed and frozen, soaked and cut and pierced. More than one lay dead by an ally's craft. Rubick stood apart, sore but delighted in the week's festivities. None had the strength to argue when he presented his petition of assumption to the Hidden Council, and the Insubstantial Eleven agreed as one to grant him the title of Grand Magus.

STRATEGY
Early Game
Rubik is useful since the early stage of the game. With the fadebolt and telekinesis + long ranged attack, Rubik can conveniently control the lane. Every lane you choose, it's ok, you can be a support or a solo laner. You have a strong nuke with the damage reducer and a n ok disable.
Also if your team needs you as a support, it's also ok, you can buy a support by buying courier and wards.
On the laning phase, if yu are a solo, try to last hit every creeps on the lane while denying once in a while. Use Fade Bolt to harass your enemy and also for double last hits. Remember that Fade bolt is also reducing enemy's damage so they will be harder in last hitting/denying.
Mid Game
Mid game is the time for al around ganking. You, as a nuker / disabler hero, should roam and help your friends on another lane. Tell your friend that you are ready to gank and ask him to help you, then you should come to the lane and use Telekinesis to disable the target, your friends and you can harass him while he is disabled, and then you can use the Fade Bolt to harass more, and also you should steal a skill from your target and use it to him. It is rather difficult to steal a skill you want from a target because the acquired skill is depend of what is the last skill casted by the target, luck is the key factor here. And if you are lucky, you will see your target using the skill you want so you can immediately steal it to benefir your team.
Late Game
On the late game, it is the time to party. Every enemy hero has already reached a high level, so you can steal their ultimate on the max level. Be careful on which skill you steal, make sure you steal the best skill to benefit more for your team. You need to stea; the best skill like Ravage (Tidehunter), Blackhole (Enigma), or Chain Frost (Lich). And if you successful of acquiring the top skill from the enemy, that's your time to shine. To use their ultimate for themselves.
Maybe you already acquired Sheepstick here. And if so, you should use it to initiate a teamfight. By using force staff / dagger and then cast the Hex on your enemy and then your team can come in and dominate the teamfight. The rule of dota is: the one who initiate first, will likely to win the teamfight, so initiating a teamfight is the determiner of your team victory, be quick and initiate carefully by using the sheepstick, or at least using a telekinesis.
