Impossible to win as Bara?

[The Real GOW]

So i've played as Bara a ton recently, that's spirit breaker for those of you that aren't aware, and it seems like he's impossible to win with despite doing really well as him, i've played almost 20 games as him so far and out of all those i've only won a single game and today i've tried him 2 more times and both losses despite doing good, is he just trahs now? i mean i know 17% bash chance in itself is terrible but is he really that bad? i'm just going to assume he is because i never see him picked and on the rare occasions when he is picked the team with hmi on always loses, it's like he's a bad luck charm, not matter how good or bad the player using bara does his team always seems to lose so i've won a single game out of 22 with him, I'm thinking of just not playing him anymore, he seems impossible to win with at this point.

Yes bara is quite situational. Oh there's a wild rumor about script detecting bara charge lol

Any hero is situational .. if you pick on wrong timing you get F@kedup ..

so google who is his counters and who can he counter then pick wisely .. so that you will win

He's very situational I reckon, he has huge gank potential but if you manage to play around his charge, then he really isn't usefull for anything. I feel like he is only good against Sniper or Zeus, but other than that I usually end up dying everytime I charge someone OTHER than Sniper or Zeus.

I think hes situational. He is a good initiator, true but hes kinda out of pub meta. You can play him however if your team picks allow it, and that you aint really all that countered.

You can play any hero good. How well you do in a game, depends on how well your team plays as a whole as well as team lineups. SB will play well against teams with squishy heroes with few disables.

That's what i did today, i looked online and 3 people were picked that he can counter so i thought "ok first game with counters so i should win" i got a giant smack in the face and lost in 30 mins despite going 14 - 6

Make sure that you're not just focusing on your KDA and picking off easy kills but helping your team when they need it. One player having a great score doesn't mean that your team will win the match. Also, you can pick off kills all day long but if your team doesn't push, then your team doesn't win.

bara is easily countered and too predictable even when u are trying to counter range heroes like sniper. bara is kinda useless now at least on this meta

SB is really esay to win with but he requires a lot of teamwork .
So a few things to check in game are wards being placed in right places.I dont just mean so you can see an enemy to gank but also have you got vision placed right so you can see if enemy reenforcements are comeing to jump you on your gank.

Sometimes enemy team will use a player to bait a sb to charge them so they can gank you.
Another thing thats really important is for your team to deward.If you arent dewarding then your ganks will be countered easier or enemy will run back to tower or a safe position.

Are you bringing Dust with you?This is really important also with SB for trying to gank any invis heros.
In terms of secured bashes one really nice combo is to have an ogre support and ahve him buff you precharge.This will increase your bash damage as it buffs move speed.Also the extra attack speed buff will make it more likel to bashlock enemy.
Id also consider BKB core on sb due to how bad the animation delay is on Nether Strike people can easily stop you midcast and kill you.

Also keep in mind that Nether strike is now a double edged sword in fights.due to the fact they increased the distance it knocks enemy it sometimes does more harm to team fight than good.
For example it can save enemy hero from some big aoe spell.

And lastly SB isnt supposed to be played as carry.He should be built more for utility in fights.You're job in mid to late game is to be a nuisanace in team figths and bully anybody trying to kill your carries or who are trying to disable them.

Also when enemy hero buys a linkin dont consider it them countering you.Think of it in the fact that you have a global linkin disable.If team are about to fight.hit charge on that person.Then your team mates can use their targetd spells on that enemy without fail.
