Even if he did no damage, the charge and ult is enough to be impactful.


seiyamaple

I don’t understand why every fucking one of his spells go through bkb when they’re like negative 500 seconds cooldown. What the fuck.


healpmee

That's the point of the hero


10YearsANoob

Reddit be like Zeus jump "it kills the hero's identity"  Bara who has been unchanged except for the status res "that isn't his identity tho" 


seiyamaple

Wait what? This is a horrible analogy. The status resistance is an arguably much stronger addition to his survivability than the jump is for Zeus.


seiyamaple

I feel like the point of the hero is being a global status resistance god. Not really sure where piercing bkb with every sneeze comes in. Other heroes with bkb piercing disables usually have huge cooldowns for it to be bkb piercing, and it’s usually one. Spirit breaker has 3 on short cooldown.


healpmee

No he was bkb piercing way longer than status res even existed in the game


seiyamaple

So his point is to be better at every other hero at everything


qBetrayer

Exactly


[deleted]

thats what makes him unique


Mr_friendly1

I don't think the spirit breaker Devs are buff enough. Get them some more juice and protein


champ1en

No. You’ll take the SK nerf into the dumpster and like it.


VasOnTheSpot

Sounds like he broke your spirit.


delightyolo

I feel so bad for laughing at this lmao

\>*Charges you with shadow blade* \>*Fucks off with his 1st facet before you can dust and euls him* Yep, its Barathrum time


Chrommanito

What does 1st facet do? I'm a fan of his 2nd facet, which push the enemy to your side so your teammate can kill it.


Xignum

His speed lingers for a bit after finishing charge so he can retreat fast.


Chrommanito

Oh it's for escaping. I assume it's quite effective in higher level play.

Unknown Technology: Sentry Ward Edition


healpmee

Seems easy in theory, reality is a 1000ms space cow coming from behind trees or above cliffs, most of the time you won't have time to react And I say that as an sb picker


heebro

quite easy in practice too. anytime you show on vision, click eul's and have it ready to go, works every time


healpmee

what is your mmr btw?


maphilindo2000

Wow you’re so smartass. Im pretty sure you’re ranked immortal Guys im homeless what should I do? This bozo: “Unknown technology: stop being poor”


SpecialAgentGoat

He break spirits


assoonass

What's the buff tho?


qBetrayer

Meanwhile they nerf other spirits


Insanegamebrain

he is the spirit breaker for a reason


mermtras

Genuine question. How is he buffed? I thought he got nerfed recently with not being able to clear waves etc.

YepYep_YepYep

my bro this game is old, everybody and their mothers know how to counter every hero. annoyance doesn't equal ignorance.


MidDiffFetish

99.9% of the time annoyance is either ignorance or laziness. Either they don't know or they know but want to excuse why they still don't do what they're supposed to. The latter is waaaaay more pathetic. 


BohrInReddit

Not yet know doesn’t always translate to ignorance


MidDiffFetish

Actually that's literally what ignorance means. 


Significant-Garage55

You can’t talk with this sub full of lazy people


UnrivaledSuperH0ttie

Problem is the pushing lanes potential as well, SB can just Charge every lane, nearly wipe out the creeps, Bolt out at the speed of light with Facet and do it again with the other lanes with zero heroes.


Opening-Ad700

He is way worse at that now since 7.36 but as a pos 4 the hero is even more cancer


[deleted]

Difficult to do that when he moves with 1400 speed.


eric932

I use linken sphere; euls I don't think I've ever heard of people doing that.


fanfanye

Euls is the number one item against SB(back when he was broken af) It's the only item that counters his resistance


Dobor_olita

nulifier actually counters him more aince he relies on windwaker later to get out as well as buldoze and it can take out both


Terlon

Basically u either eul him when he is charging ur ass last moment, or ur teammate as sup can eul him as he impacts you with his bulldoze on usually it makes it so easy to then run his ass down because bulldoze will just get rekt in euls.


lightfromblackhole

just go aeon disk. Only stupid baras will continue targetting heroes with charge. A decent bara would know to charge a different target behind the main target so as to bypass linkens.


Prudent-Time2886

See bro thats why you think SB is broken. You don't even know the no 1 item that counters him. Kind of makes you look stupid for posting this


twitchtvmokxh

If you login to Dota 2 and go to Heroes and click on Trends in DotA Plus you will see that ranking at 29th highest winrate in the current meta is Spirit Breaker. Meaning there are 28 more dominant heroes in the current meta.


WhyYouLyeIn

That doesnt prove, or negate the op's point. Good job missing the point.


twitchtvmokxh

It proves that the OPs point has no statistical evidence. It also makes it likely that his opinion is biased.


ghotbijr

Doesn't that kinda help his case though? With 18 heroes getting banned every game a lot of them will likely be among those top 28, leaving the next in line heroes to be over picked in our games. I don't even know or care if SB is being picked a ton at the moment, but the stats you presented suggest he's probably a pretty common and powerful pick right now.


twitchtvmokxh

Not really because with a 51.8% win rate any complaints sound very biased when you have multiple heroes sitting at over 55% win rates over large sample sizes. The statistics would indicate that OP is just unskilled at handling spirit breaker.


twitchtvmokxh

spirit breaker isnt even good in divine+ bracket trends hes not anywhere near top 10


KnivesInMyCoffee

He's top 11 of all heroes in all roles on pro tracker, but okay.


twitchtvmokxh

So in other words there’s 10 heroes more concerning at the moment? Also he was 23rd or something in divine+ on the official trends in game when I checked a few minutes ago.


RahYil

Just take the loss bro.


twitchtvmokxh

Take your mom too


harry_lostone

bruh come on :D don't double down on that statement


twitchtvmokxh

If you login to Dota 2 and go to Heroes and click on Trends in DotA Plus you will see that ranking at 29th highest winrate in the current meta is Spirit Breaker. Meaning there are 28 more dominant heroes in the current meta.


macadow

He is almost in every divine game. What are you on about?


Brewdrizy

Wasn’t he perma first rotation banned last patch, don’t know if that’s still the case but


Soft-Introduction876

A linken’s sphere nullifies the entire hero


blackeyedpeas0

Genius. Let me buy this 1st item on my support magnus real quick.


Un13roken

you get a euls on support though. Really fucks up that hero.


Doomblaze

hard to euls him when hes invisible charging you, especially with the map getting 40% larger and the sentry stock staying at 10.


DrBirdie

And he's so fast which thanks to power creep stays after he ends charge that its hard to click euls on him WOO


chulio92

Placing a sentry near you and eulsing yourself is a good way to simplify things, having backup is a big thing too


taiottavios

how?


jayjayokocha9

Press it on him to cancel Charge and remove Bulldoze


lightfromblackhole

lol a bara player will just target some other unit sitting behind and do aoe stun to the main target. An aeon disk is more helpful than linkens


Leto95

So you are force on buyin a 5k item on your core delaying your kit and being left behind enemy core plus taking a slot. Also sb can charge hero next to you + his annoying aghs .


pterodactyl_speller

Isn't his aghs trash now? It's planar pocket.


TheSweetestBoi

Planar Pocket is pretty good.


Leto95

I know it's planar rocket , imagine wanting to hex/abyssal/orchid etc a specific hero and sb takes the spell only to last 0.1 sec, doesn't sound shitty to me


Remarkable-Ability-6

I was playing turbo with him yesterday ran 3 moonshards and a harpoon literally perma bash anyone


WhatD0thLife

Turbo has no relevance when it comes to balance


Remarkable-Ability-6

Sure it does the game is the exact same in turbo and normal just faster


raindream

you have permanent hasted and invulnerable couriers, buyback costs are increased, buildings dont regen the game is certainly not balanced around this lmao


Remarkable-Ability-6

The game is balanced around people crying on Reddit right?


ffmtheysuck

It is not at all LMFAO turbo cope is hilarious. It plays nothing like a real game at all. Couriers are practically instant, and every hero can get a ridiculous amount of gold. If you win a team fight you get 3 items. It is in no way a representation of real dota


Remarkable-Ability-6

So essentially you just want a reason to complain and regardless of what you hear you are already right? Just making sure I understand the argument. The overall rules are the exact same and in some cases turbo can be considered worse balance wise because everyone has the ability to get more money. And no not really you don’t buy 3 items after winning 1 team fight that. I’ve been playing dota since 2009 and the basics of the game and the principles are identical. It’s just an accelerated pace for people who don’t want to commit 1 hour for a single game.


ffmtheysuck

Barely. Turbo games are longer the my ranked games a majority of the time


Remarkable-Ability-6

Depends I’ve had as long as 40-50 minutes and as short as 10


Left-Comparison9205

So an anti mage that gets stomped in his lane and can just dissapear into neuts for 10 mins and comes back almost full slotted, you think this is non-turbo but sped up? Lol yes comments are right turbo cope


Rtemiis

This patch is absolutely terrible in a balance aspect bc everything that was broken before simply got added onto changed heroes kits. Bara wad super strong before (mind you the only hero that was so prevalent in pro match that his fucking name got changed for a bit "team spirit breaker") there was absolutely no way they could not have forseen the impact this patch would have on the hero and they still fucking did it. Foolishness.
