Spirit Breaker is a popular melee strength semi-carry/ganker, famed for his global ganking capability and bashing potential which allows him to quickly kill off single targets with relative ease.
While a stellar ganker, Spirit Breaker's lack of teamfight contribution makes him an unpopular competitive pick.
