    I used to own hard with this hero. But that was a while ago and in lower bracket. Now at 4500-4800 mmr i picked him 2 times and it felt like a burden to my team.
    I remember crushing 1vs2 or even 1vs3 lane. And you have to do so if you want to stay relevant in the game. The idea behind bb is to win your lane and pressure as hard as you can, otherwise you can go and drink a coffee until enemie destroys your ancient.

    I am starting with 2 sets of tangos, shield and 3 mangos. Pressuring the enemie hard at lvl1 means you will be out of mana even tho using all your mangos. Their carry will salve up and only thing left is you getting zoned. Manipulating the wave so you can exp up lvl 3 defensivly will not help you much since their support will pull small/big camp. Not to mention that there are a lot p1 meta picks that will counter you or are going to do well against you, like ursa or monkey for example. And they definetly will come since their p1 will pick after you.
    If you go duo lane with bb +1 it will be even worse since he is a exp depended hero. You want to hit your lvl 3/5/7 asap.

    I looked up his winrate:

    Ancient, 43% (4. lowest wr)
    Divine/Immortal, 43% (6. lowest wr)

    Yesterday he had a 37% winrate at Divine/Immortal !

    I realy enjoyed to play and stomp with this hero but it appears that he is compeletely garbage right now.

    Is he realy unplayable or are they any cases to pick him? What do you think?

      Unplayable, just pick Pango...

        He offers damage, tankiness and minus armor.
        Who give a fuck.
        Other heroes can bring that with something else and not be vulnerable to viper.

          Stop picking bb and pick viper/necro instead. They both range, have more tankiness than bb and counter those pesky 2 meta heroes(ursa, mk). Just destroy meta with meta
