Have you watched Blaze play at high levels? Burning oil isn't really where most of the waveclear comes from. Most Blaze players use oil for the slow (which got buffed) and sustain. Why do you think Crossfire is the take now.

I think you hit it on the head there. When Garrosh, Mura, Diablo, Johanna and Anub get caught, they can get out. Blaze's wind up on his E is predictable so it can be blocked and he dies unless he has Bunker up. There are exceptions but this is mostly true.
Hmm, Johanna and Garrosh have no way of escaping either though, unless you count Unstoppable which Blaze can also talent into. Why can't he facecheck with Q or W, same way a Diablo would with W?

And Johanna has showed up in the main tank role in competitive so there are teams that find that value late game.
-
my point wasn't about johanna being bad late game but bunker being such a strong tool that you want blaze for the bunker no matter what and you just fit him where he's the best in your comp so it doesn't matter if he's not the best solo laner you pick him for bunker anyways

Garrosh would not be viable without his unstoppable neither would johanna be but anyways those heroes can peel very well and are just played in defensive comps. Johanna can force fights post 10 which blaze can't he has no engage potential by himself without a flank
-
blaze can only peel really well with bunker , it's not only about facechecking the bush but about holding the position , Diablo is in a weird spot where he has some obvious weaknesses for a tank but he's more tanky by far than every other , has the best long 2/3

Idk I actually really like blaze as a main tank but I might just be insane. I think the buffs might be problematic since he'll just be to strong, could easily see him get first picked as a flex pick right now to go either off lane or main tank. I actually like the changes *shrug*
-
the way I see it picking blaze main tank is like picking uther/xul/maiev etc... main tank where he doesn't really fit the bill as a main tank but you have a comp that can work around that and you just want to have bunker
