The barriers are very dominant and overpowered in the meta and a simple fix without nerfing them (to keep them viable) is to add a 1600(?) item similar to serpent's fang that just reduces the shield received on that hero by a set amount (30%?) - giving a counter while not killing them entirely. (maybe even make a new tier 4 item that builds out of healbane + this new item and gives both antiheal and antishield and something else idk)
Anti barrier item (Similar to Serpent's Fang from League)

Shield Basher - 1600/3200
+8 spirit /+2 Out of Combat Regen
Active idea: Reduce active shield health by 30%, if applied before a shield is applied reduce shielding by 50-60%
Passive Idea: Dealing Spirit damage to enemy hero reduces shields gained by 30%
OR
hitting an enemy hero with a heavy melee reduces active shields by 40% (half effective if light melee)
Bulwark Shatter - 6400
Active: Reduce active shield by 40%, if shield passes 600 do a 0.2s stun

Capacitor being only T4 item to remove the shields and pretty difficult to obtain on early game, so adding a (potential) upgrade of Healbane to T3 (3200) that will apply the same healing reduction plus additional effect of 7-8 seconds of -40-50% reduction of barrier could be a good option, which will affect abilities (warden/paige shields) and items (divine barrier / kevlar / shields). So for example whenever the effect is applied by doing spirit damage, if the enemy activates the divine kevlar they get 500 barrier on ult instead of 1000
