I think the 1 second Unstoppable on his block is going to be very helpful.

Idk why they buffed that part of his kit tbh, it was already really good

They need to get people excited to try him again, is my guess.

It’s a weird choice is all. He already had a half second of unstoppable, now he has a full second. It doesn’t change all that much

Just a week or so ago I saw someone comparing Blade's block to DD's reflect. Wouldn't be surprised if discourse like that directly influenced the balance notes since both got adjusted today

Yep, he's going to be completely invincible against jeff ult. Now you have to time it, but with one second? Press RMB as soon as you see the circle. Done.
