Most Orochi players are misusing Storm Rush | Forums

[Alchemist-21-]

I've noticed that most of the Orochi players who use this move use it when there's a break in the fighting and some distance between them. It's an incredibly easy to read move especially from distance, and unsurprisingly it's always blocked.

That's because you're not using it the way it's meant to be used. Just look at the combo input; you're dodging backwards then attacking. To properly use the move, you need to be close to your opponent, dodge backwards from their attack then Storm Rush in to punish them for missing. The Orochi is about counter-attacking and this is one if the ways of doing that.

If you're having trouble with the timing of your parries and deflects, this move is a good alternative for punishing heavy attacks from your opponent.

TO piggyback off what you're saying, most orochis are also imputing the move incorrectly as well. I see too many players HOLDING the trigger...instead of just tapping it. When you hold the attack, it telegraphs the moves so obviously bc it delays the attack. If you just tap the trigger instead of holding, the attack still goes through, just without that delay of the hero backing up, and holding his blade for a second before dashing forward. The attack is a lot more seamless when you dont hold the trigger. I blame this on the Moveset menu as it specifically says to "hold" the trigger when just tapping is more effective.
