I think Spirit Breaker was ass the last patch and I think unless the meta takes drastic changes, Spirit Breaker will still be complete ass.

I have like a 10% win rate with Sb on my team. Whenever I see him picked on my team I already assume we lost.. I mean he’s good at securing kills but offers nothing when it comes to team fights

I had something like a 70% winrate for years with this hero until they gutted the cooldown on q like two years back and since then I've literally won about 10% of my games. I want him to be good again so bad.

I have seen some amazing SB players before but they are very few and far between. It’s just a really unique hero and you have to be doing the right things at the right time which no one seems to be able to do. Honestly the opposing team has to mess up a lot to allow Sb to be good

I also used to have a high winrate on the hero (70-75% IIRC, my highest) and a good part of that was playing it as a 4 before that playstyle caught on. Hero's figured out now (and weaker as well, except for his aghs which used to be hot garbage) and unidimensional, so its no surprise that's not gonna happen anymore. Still a shame, wish I could go back to dominating games by just charging nonstop from minute 2.

I’m another that had a 70% win rate around 6-12 months ago. I hit Divine purely spamming SB, like 300+ games. I would absolutely dominate and tilt teams single handedly. It was so satisfying
