Why this works

Setting up a kill with Disruption for Clinkz looks good on paper, but the long setup can give the enemy team too much time to react. By the time the target reappears, help has often already arrived. This forces Clinkz to commit to a dangerous position where he can be easily turned on, and Shadow Demon lacks the tools to save him if he gets jumped. While Demonic Purge helps hold a target down, Clinkz is generally more effective when he can make his own plays. He prefers using his invisibility to hunt for surprised, isolated enemies rather than waiting for a telegraphed setup that draws so much attention.
