actually charge.shift smiters are really good vs barb if they know what they're doing
more like "shift smiters are really good vs barb
if the barb has no clue what hes doing"
Any time a smiter sits still and shiftsmites, a barb should walk all over him
in the top of the top duels, its basically the smiter trying to auraflash -> telesmite onto the barb while the barb syncwhirls. Theres no instances where the smiter tries to sit and tank, thats suicide against a barb that knows how to leap/auraflash/clipww, much less one that has 2x eth lacerators on switch
I've seen it a million times on my brawler. I throw axes at some poor smiter who thinks he can fight without telesmite, and he charges at me, and I whirl away, and he takes damage and I take none.
Now I wouldn't advocate brawling against an anti-barb telesmiter, but charge/shiftsmite absolutely does not work.

Good Bvc > Smiters
Good V/T > Bvcs imo

A V/T does much worse against a good BvC than a pure anti-barb smiter does.
