    seriously wtf with that flippin talent, it could cancel anything. the only thing that make sniper stop shooting at you is to buy blademail or ghost scepter. well you can try finish the game before the sniper get level 20 but still though.

    saw my friend got attacked by sniper and used forcestaff to go back and that knockback talent can stop the force midway. i was in the same game with him btw (was using a smurf account).

    if you guys wanna check the replay go check around minute 62:10 and see disruptor perspective.

          it only counters movement spells and items because it inturupts that movement with it's knock back so it will only affect things like forcestaff leap tiny toss if he's tossing over a distance, blastoff, gust. and it only affects this if he headshots during the movement. COnsidering that most of these movement spells take less than half a second it's unlikely to happen. Clockwork cogs has the same interaction with forcestaff.

            The talent merge with headshot right? It got 40% chance every shot to knockback your enemy and slowed them. I still think its pretty unbalanced. It disabled most of heroes that doesnt have any escape ability e.g lich, disruptor, rubick. I know everyone will say “just buy a ghost scepter or glimmer cape u dumb lil fegget” but I just think sniper was really enough before this patch and they kinda buff this hero again. Just look at the winrate on this hero right now on nov 1st. Forcestaff is a dead item when sniper reach level 20.
