Anti barrier item (Similar to Serpent's Fang from League)

[lordnm]

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)

Or an on hit affect does +damage to barriers only

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

for a tier 4, Capacitor already exists and removes 100% of shields (plus all the other things it removes). 40% is underpowered by comparison - it'd need an extremely rapid cooldown, maybe an AoE, maybe load it up with other stats or an additional passive.
