'lolol@teh ppl saying this is a bad build, first of all bb is frontline=playstyle=warrior, and warrior=/=assassin. and bb cannot do this better because u cant name another form of pvp besides hb,ab, and competitive missions where bb can actually be played effectively.'

You're an idiot. The build is bad. Backbreaker is a frontline build, yes, because its a melee spiker. Assassins are not warriors, that is true, and are not meant to be.

I can name other forms of PvP where backbreaker is highly effective. In fact, let's start with why your misconceptions on where bb works are completely wrong.

Backbreaker is less efficient in AB than say, palm strike or wastrel's, or aura of displacement, YAA or Coward, because you are sacrificing utility for a more powerful spike, which you don't even need to do in AB because everyone is so terrible. For HB, BB can be used as a good spike in the right builds, but often coward and YAA do it better, because of unblockable movement control, which causes a fair bit of pressure. Note this last point is heavily debateable, it depends on your heroes, their team build and both yours and theirs' playstyle. Competitive missions are a no, half of the time in FA you wouldn't be able to build adrenaline in time, and having no movement control or decent shadowstepping capabilities in JQ is retarded. In fact, any form of melee in JQ is retarded, as you can't counter shrines or turtles.

So just WHERE is backbreaker truly effective?

Team arenas, for one. A single or dual backbreaker frontline in team arenas packs a massive amount of spike potential. It isn't that difficult to trick out an opposing team's ranger and get them to waste their dshot and savage, giving you enough time to get off your chain. However, in this current meta of extreme faggotry, it isn't as effective as it once was.

This leaves two areas uncovered. GvG, and HA. It is true to say, assassins for the most part suck in GvG post-VoD. I don't care what people say about A/Pspike, it isn't relevant in the slightest. I have seen a few wastrels spikes, but the concept is pretty stupid. Again, a debateable topic, but backbreaker has no place here.

This leaves HA. Do you know what people ran there before palm strike was buffed? Backbreaker. Do you know what is still being used there over the easy-to-counter palm strike, by skilled players? Backbreaker. Backbreaker is the best assassin build to take in HA without a doubt. If I need to go into why it is so good then you are terrible.
