All of DW build make it pointless and less powerful to need to go world breaker

I do hope his stun moved a bit faster. It feels too clunky at the moment.
Destroyer’s lunge is also great even in teamfights, it is unpredictable and has a very fast cast time + inflicts a large slow
(also acts as a mobility tool to either chase someone, dodge a skill shot or run away)
I feel like the only time I want to be in WB form is to use his lava pool for area denial.

They will need to buff his world breaker form and nerf his destroyer form a bit to balance things out. Maybe more damage to world breaker spells.

There are almost no World Breaker buffing talents and all but his Ruination on lvl 16 are pretty weak, and since Ruination comes at 16, there is 0 reason to buff any WB abilities besides on lvl 1 Dragon Soul, which is a better buff to Destroyer form’s Incinerate than it is for Lava Pool.
I have tried going in to fights in WB form, using Lava pool to hinder enemy team’s approach to the objective and the stun to possibly use Q with the team then immediately switch to Destroyer form, but honestly in that time i’ve figured out if i just went in Destroyer form i would of done much more… Too big coldowns, with too big windups, if you could pick Ruination at like lvl 4 or 7 i would definitely be using WB a lot more.
The only time WB is actually usefull is like i said above, hindering enemy team’s approach or when you are defending against a lost objective e.g. punisher etc and cannot go out of your fort to engage.

no matter how bad you say it is, there are still quite a lot ppl getting caught by breath, stun and slow.
I personally find myself in World Breaker mode most times. Mainly because DW is scary to engage against, and people will be less likely to jump in. WB giving extra area of denial/stun, and much easier to be less committed to a fight/peel for teammates
Although, when there is a bunch of melee, the story reverses
My thought process is this, If you continually deny enemy lane presence, you will continue to dominate

I’ve mostly played in WB form.
It’s quite easy to hit with the stun at close range, or in narrow areas.
I found zero uses for it. Never picked it at all. After i get aoe burn its non stop destroyer. I top dmg so much that i outdmg like 2 mages minimum.
In SL im still top dmg even when enemy counters me badly. That burn is all the cc i need. If enemy healer or mages are near me they cant run due to slow and i burn em for over 150hp/ sec just from that.\
If i cant dive due to tycus dash lets me exit his % dmg burn and i focus pumping aoe dmg to tanks.
Why shut enemy down when u can pump from 150 to 600 hp/s to enemy team if u can be right in the middle of enemy comp. I think that scares em way more then some puny stun.
I feel like a god playing him.That is how strong he feels to me.
Also that 150 dmg/s is at lvl 4. At 20 it makes leoric burn look like a joke.
Also after i get destroyer buff at 20 i can kill entire teams. I won like 2 vs 5 once. All enemy had full hp.They did lack % dmg that one tho. But still.
edit:i always go horror ulti.That is all the interup i need to stop combos like mosh.
WB is like changing best dmg hero for a mediocre tank. Id rather use him as a 200k dmg God.

In Destroyer form you go in, they don’t check out, gg MVP.
You know what, 50-70 games later, WB form is insane, you take Destroyer form when their damage is low and you can out heal their damage or survive long enough to kill someone and for insane anti tank, everything else WB form. I legit had more damage than anyone else by a big margin in WB form in a lot of games, and my winrate has reversed, it fell due to people learning how to play vs DW along with patches, now it’s going back up, 67% winrate on 260 games. Also WB form got buffed, WB’s lava burst into Q is more efficient and faster for clearing waves, it also let’s you kite dangerous heroes such as Imperious, Leoric, Nazeebo and such which Destroyer form cannot do. DW is overloaded, a third nerf has to come to everything he has.
