Does remove fuse suck hard? Or the hulls pwn mines better?

The defuse needs to be reworked somehow.
If you invest 2.5 or 5k in mines, some guy can just buy a defuser and wards and you will be screwed.

But you have to invest quite a lot into the defuser/kit(I really dont see that much use for the current defuser without kit and the kit is a healthy 4k-ish).
Lets say one player on the opposite team has mines and you buy the defuser + some observer wards. The mine player can still use his mines to great effect at hard to spot places like under trees, healers, change lane or just sell it. He would still have the benefit of the mines up to that point. The guy with the defuser will most likely not get his cash back since there's not really that much he can use his defuser for and you'll have the advantage over him for some time.

I've tried playing with the defuser and it's in most cases a lot better to just get a hull. The exception being a really stupid player that keeps using his mines near his own team.

It's too cheap.

And it's really cheap using mines.
