Disruptor + Pudge

Why this works

Picking these two heroes together looks good on paper, but often feels like you have two setup spells for one kill. Pudge’s Meat Hook and Disruptor’s Glimpse both try to accomplish the same thing: pull an enemy out of position. If Disruptor Glimpses a hero back, Pudge has an easy Hook, but the Glimpse probably would have been enough on its own. The reverse is also true. Likewise, using Kinetic Field on a target already held down by Dismember is redundant. Instead of chaining disables, you end up stacking them, which is a less efficient way to control an enemy and can waste important cooldowns.

The coordination needed to make this duo work is high. A max-range Hook can pull a target away from Disruptor, leaving him unable to follow up with Static Storm. A badly timed Glimpse can pull a hero to a safe high-ground spot, ruining the kill attempt. In lane and in mid-game ganks, both heroes are trying to be the one who initiates, but they don't provide much for each other to follow up on. You can get a kill, but it often feels like you used too many resources to do it, which doesn't create a consistent advantage across the map.
