Which part of his kit makes him perfect for solo lane?

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.

Really cool video, one thing to consider though is that not every Main Tank is always meant to hard engage, sometimes they are meant to protect against heavy dive, like an Arthas or a Johanna by being that rock in the front line that absorbs damage and disrupts assailants.

Arthas and Garrosh do that by hard countering melee heroes (i basically die if I'm melee with one of those heroes as kerrigan and they don't die in cc for example) , Johanna has a lot of disruption on short cd + still a reliable engage post 10How do you think blaze fits this role

That was just a general statement on the definition of a MT, not specifically Blaze. I'm just trying to see if the narrative that not every MT fulfills exactly the same criteria is valid. I think Blaze doesn't have the best engage but he has enough tools to compensate for it.

I mean the best example is Tyrael. He doesn't have a reliable engage himself he enables the entire rest of his team to engage for themselves, essentially. THAT is weird. But Blaze is falling into the very typical mold here except for the reliable part against top tier players.
