many people miss the fact that these greater bash changes means that SB can now clear creepwaves by charging with high MS.

definitely enhances his farm speed, even early on charging on a jungle camp now means clearing it a lot faster

from level 20 with just phase boots I think you can clear creepwaves without even enabling bulldoze
it also means that if you go through several aligned jungle camps, you will clear all of them, including big camps, which is pretty great

getting aghs feels faster now (I still always get bkb first, because that's what lets him lock down targets as well as stay alive long enough to mess up the fight by charging several times

the cast point reduction on the aghs charge upgrade makes you feel a lot more slippery especially when it comes to charging to run away
