WHY IT COUNTERS BRISTLEBACKWHY THEY COUNTER BRISTLEBACK

Burst damage

Outworld Destroyer's high burst damage is not reduced by Bristleback's passive. So, even if Bristleback turns his back on Outworld Destroyer, he can take down Bristleback quickly

Lock down

If Bristleback attempts to fall back, or tries to close the gap, Outworld can banish him with Astral Imprisonment, both reducing Bristlebacks much needed mana and allowing Outworld to move in front of him.
