With his CoD on such low cooldown now he can shift between lanes with seeming ease, so he can shut down pushes and get to any team fight. He can be a force to be reckoned with in a teamfight with his massive mount of stuns. Also he has his new movement speed ability which can be used for chase or escape. What position is he now? Opinions?

He's either a 4 or a 3. He's seen a decent amount of competitive usage since the change-up to Charge of Darkness.

I think ixmike88 picked him up a tonne as both an offlaner and a 4 position? I know he definately gets more tier 2 usage than tier 1, but he's seen a lot more than he used to.

He's still in a weird place tbh. A viable one, but weird non the less. Like I don't think the hero needs changing anymore to make him viable, he just needs a bit of a meta shift maybe?

Since you just can't have enough Chaos Breaker.

I'd put him in as a 3 or 4 depending on the lineups. Maybe even 2 if he's doing everything for your team.

He is really viable, as Sanvitch pointed out but kind of awkward. It's hard to give him a role, so a few changes to everything other than charge might make it more clear where he stands.

Ive been playing him recently in the offlane with a support so we can bully ourself in lane. Together with someting agressive like ogre, a silencer standing back, or even the support offlane pudge strat. =D

#4 is good. But if you don't have a good start it is really difficult catching up. You can end up just feeding after charging in...
I prefer a #3 in a duel lane with a greedy support who can also solo the lane. Someone like a Lich, Orge Magi, Jakiro or Windranger are good. You go away on a gank mission and hand the lane to them for a minute or 2. If you can share the farm around so you have 2 heroes acting as the #3/4 and it works out it can be very beneficial.
