In this video I was testing Furious Resilience Star Card, which gives 25% damage reduction while Focused Rage is active. To my surprise these 25% seemed a lot less then what was actually happening. I thought the Star Card was bugged.
But after sharing with the community, people told me that tests were made, and they discovered that Focused Rage has around 30% of Damage Reduction on its own, which paired with the card goes up to 55%, which explains the footage provided. I think 55% damage reduction, at least for HvV, is completely unbalanced, but the issue here is the lack of information for us to understand the hero/ability/card, as the ability description gives no hint of a Damage Reduction.
For some reason I didn't come here to mark this as solved, but it was solved on April 2018 as can be seen in the patch notes:
