Could Disruptor reverse a teleport ?

[Dwarvenhobble]

I've been wondering this for a while as I was in a game recently where I had a free lane and was pushing the tower when one of their farmed carries ported in to defend the tower.

I didn't get to use it but would Glimpse send someone back to where they teleported from ?

yes.

[撒神的脑残粉]

there is even an inscrible rune for it.

And it is the most annoying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing ever when it happens

Yes

[ChemicalBacon]

Yeah, so can Kunkka with his 3rd skill
When I play Kunkka I grab a TP scroll - when Im low I acst it on myself and tele back
I get about 4 secs of fountain heal before I tele back - its a great tatic

Glimpse sends someone to where they were exactly four seconds earlier, regardless of what happened before Glimpse was activated or what happens to the unit during the travel time to where they were.

For example, yes you can Glimpse someone who TPs in back to where they were before TPing. If the enemy has a Weaver that dies, buys back, and Timelapses back in, you can technically Glimpse him back to the fountain if timed right. Or my personal favorite, Glimpse an enemy, have them die and buy back before the Glimpse travel time is up, and have them appear where they would be had they not died at all. Fun way to see enemies dieback.

That is not entirelly true. There are some situations in which what happens during the travel time is important. I'm talking about timbersaw and to the lesser extent about clockwerk. You can attempt to time timberchain/hookshot just miliseconds before glimpse actually sends you back. If you do that right, chain/hook will hit target after you are glimpsed back. This will make you pretty much negate glimpse effect.

In fact that was happening during recent pro match: Na'Vi vs Na'Vi.USA (Summit LAN - Groups) . 38:45 Funn1k is on Timbersaw.

Which doesn't make anything said earlier untrue...

Let me make it untrue then: Black King Bar.

That being said you have a point. Perfectly timed chain/hook will allow you to negate effect of glimpse, not the glimpse itself, which will still work anyways.
