This is a response to Vex30's video as linked below. In his video, he gives his opinions and arguments why Cherish is better than Solar Blessing for Furia. I will be going through the video and analyzing it, expanding on the issues discussed. Some of this is my opinion, but other parts are not.

This is a long video, so if you don't want to watch the whole thing, catch the sort of recap at the end: 1:01:42.

As usual, the video goes on twice as long as I expected but oh well.

Timestamps (these are for times in his video):
Cherish Usefulness:

0:40

1:00 (Not useful)

1:27 (Not useful)

1:52

4:41

5:36 (didn't matter)

5:48 (not useful as Zhin took no damage after)

6:18

12:55 (Debatably good since the khan wasn't hurt significantly)

13:04 (Not useful)



Solar Blessing Potential Usefulness:

0:53 (Heal Khan through wall; beam looks like it missed in this case)

1:06 (Beam off cd and no threats; throw at barik to support; could have done this anyway; unnecessary to shoot at pip in a 2v1 like that)

1:10 (Hit Barik with beam while he wasn't looking)

1:38 (Heal Khan to full; he is slowly walking in a predictable pattern)

1:45 (Throw to heal Barik rather than blindly at stairs)

2:05 (Heal Khan to full; he is going to turn and look at you, thus noticing the beam; easy catch; instead tyra dies because of CD)

2:33 (Potential Zhin heal, but very unlikely; Could have won the round though as rest of team was pushed up)

3:03 (Heal Khan or Barik through wall, potentially saving Khan; proceeds to miss the stun on Cassie anyway and dies)

3:18 (Heal Tyra perhaps)

3:28 (PRIME EXAMPLE; easy save on Khan; misses stun)

3:58 (Perfect counter to Seris ult)

4:43 (Would have hit zhin, not requiring right click)

4:49 (Potential to save Khan from Andro ult)

5:05 (beam could have kept tyra and/or barik chickens alive)

5:20 (instead of wasting beam on cassie; could have maybe saved Khan; probably didnt matter)

5:35 (could have maybe saved Barik for real)

6:04 (heal tyra through wall, right-click zhin)

6:45 (this entire section officerl he did kill cassie i guess)

7:32 (two tanks low in the same area; perfect solar blessing; Barik low forever)

8:10 (SOOOOO many low targets on cart; so easy to do something; instead destroyed by seris ult)

8:50 (don't event talk about this last point; this is clowning; but assuming he actually wanted to flank left, solar heals through walls)

9:25 (could have maybe saved Zhin if he threaded it)

10:20 (could have thrown to point and maybe saved chickens; also seris+ash combo)
