Confuse, Shade & Other Disables… Are These Effects Traps?

Confuse, Shade, and other disable effects feel weak to a lot of players — but are they actually traps, or just misunderstood? In this episode, we break down how disruptor heroes really work, why control mechanics struggle early, and what changes when builds, accuracy, and progression come online. If you’ve ever written off disables as useless, this conversation might change how you see them.
