There has to be a great deal of data that suggests Blaze is a poor hero at lower levels of play. He received a pretty significant buff while Dehaka's global is nerfed. Odd, very odd. #HGC

safe , sustain , waveclear and guaranteed to be effective later thanks to bunker while not being a good main tank
Sounds like waveclear is ultimately what pushes him into the solo vs other “main tanks”? You still haven’t really told me why he can’t be a main tank though other than delay on CC which all main tanks have.

the delay is much higher on blaze than those heroes you listed while also forcing him to go in (unlike muradin for example) , he can't facecheck , he has no escape since his E can be bodyblocked (ETC goes through , anub has unstoppable and goes through for similar heroes)
-
Johanna has waveclear but doesn't lane as well (can't trade , less sustain) and she doesn't have something like bunker to make her worth picking for late game

Johanna has wave clear too,so maybe people just aren't using her enough in the solo lane or it's a perception issue Also, is it me or can Johanna proc her own level 4 Sins Exposed?
-
1. Johanna in the offlane was pretty decent already and we used it in HGC matches 2. Yes she can, E wave before W is really easy wave clear

I find visuals help: https://youtu.be/5WOx9mIJysw This is basically why the wind up is such an issue. Compare to the other tanks I use as an example the counterplay to Blaze's engage is a huge window by comparison though it is limited to specific heroes, but draft dependency is rough
-
actually a really important point related to blaze that I didn't think about typing before your video reminded me of is that blaze is pretty much the only tank with only one cc spell. If he has to use his E to escape or misses it he's a sitting duck and instantly forced to bunker
