Slowing hex not silencing?

[cain3482]

I went through a match and watched every single person I used slowing hex on IMMEDIATLY use a movement ability.

Wraith? Teleport away using Project Mind
Grey Talon? Jumped in the air with Rain of Arrows
Mirage? Whirlwind away with Tornado
Shiv? Immediate Slice and Dice


I thought I had just used it wrong the first few times but then I paid attention to each 1v1 I was in and it NEVER silenced their movement abilities. They used them every time AFTER the Slowing Hex hit them.

Seems the same to me. Several matches it seems to do nothing. I haven't watched replays as you said but I have checked that none of the players had any kind of debuff reducer/remover. Also heard a streamer "how did they get out I just slowing hexed them". These are just anecdotes so hopefully someone can confirm.

Its bad as it needs to hit said person before the usage of ability, and right before being hit you can still use movement ability, also it doesnt silence every ability that can be used for movement. Silence glyph is overall better solution or curse

I watched my last match replay for a specific moment I thought it failed but the Abrams I used it against had just used ult and was immune as a result (I hadn't noticed in game).
