Things SB does now: Show up, stun the enemy, let the rest of your team get into position, cast ult, land ult, keep enemy permabashed. Spirit Breaker hasn't been changed at all. Ignoring his base attack speed nerf for a moment, he kept all of his main features. Free Stunlock: Still got it. Ridiculous damage output: Still got it. Can charge across the entire fucking map: Still fucking got it. When you look at all the things that they could have done that really would have "deleted" Spirit Breaker, ie Stun duration nerf, base damage nerf, charge speed nerf, the idea that making a change to his ult ruins him is laughable. The only difference now is that instead of smashing your face headfirst onto the R button, you need to actually have half a brain in using your ult. You should never be in a position where you get stunned/silenced and instakilled. You know why? Because Spirit Breaker isn't supposed to be Rambo, diving six towers, trampeling past the entire map, and spasming back and forth like a rabid kangaroo. If you use Spirit Breaker in coordinated ganks along with items like smoke and tp scrolls in order to bounce around the map without being seen you can be an unstoppable force. So I'm sorry you can't 1a2a3a and get free wins anymore, but Barathrum will always be an amazing hero. | ||

I agree though that his ult is really useless now. It gets canceled most of the time. | ||

At first i thought it was just luck but it happened a lot. | ||

Spirit Breaker can as well so you don't see the beginning of his animation of his first auto after hitting Charge. That's all. Thank you, didnt know that (never noticed Rubick did it). So charge at certain attack speed (or always? how does that charge-auto-attack scale with the attack-speed? Is the charge-attack animation-canelling?) always becomes 2 hits (1 while charging and 1 as in the description) and the enemy got lucky and essentially bashed with their first attack multiple times. Wtf, is the description wrong? Because the odds that bash->charge-bash->bash or bash->charge-bash->attack->bash happens is like 5% and he did it multiple times. Or is he just the Admiral Bulldog of cows? | ||

I experimented few strategies based on insisting on how retard you truly are: 1) yelling in all chat : "RETARD CHARGE!!" few seconds before hitting a single support going on an adventure to pose an offensive ward. 2) saying in all chat after a successful "gank" : "BEHOLD MY ALMIGHTY RETARDNESS AND DESPAIR" 3) when the midgame goes right as planned and that all squishy heroes in the ennemy team have 0-3 to 0-7 stats. the classic but that never gets old: "I HAVE SO MUCH SKILL OMG LOOK AT MY STATS! L2P BUNCH OF NOOBS!" It is important to continue this flame as long as you are still in the midgame. Your goal is to make one of your opponent ragequit/chickfeeding before they realize they can rekt you late game. Special Tactics : if you spot an angry man in the ennemy team that respond to you and flame you . Charge him all the time,he is the most succeptible person to rage against his teammate for not helping him and thus create chaos and despair in the enemy team. YOU AIN'T CALLING ME SPIRIT BREAKER FOR NOTHING! | ||

I love how he is played now. I think he's my new favourite hero. His new skill and item build is so intuitive to how I feel he should be played. | ||

The radius of that bash is larger than him, so when you hit an enemy, that greater bash will proc, then the charge stun will proc. | ||

I max the bash first. It's his damage, without levels on it the damage is small. But the chances are the same, if you think your teammates can deal enough damage you might just put a level on it. get at least 1 level in the other two skill. I prefer to max aura next. Is really good now, specially now with the active, is better than drums, it's spammable, the extra ms for you team wins a lot of early engagements. I prefer aura over charge. I think you only need to max charge if you are always doing very long distances charges, or have to chase fast runners or storms or some shit. | ||

If you are playing a support spirit breaker that needs to be effective and reliable before 6, I think leveling charge is generally better as the increased speed and longer stun duration justifies the reduced damage before your get your ultimate. I guess the choice generally comes down to whether you think your impact is more important in the pre-6 period versus the 7-12 period. | ||
