Daze Vs Complex abilities
I do not exactly understand the reason why I cannot target a dazed ally with the Ghost's "Static Jammer" ability. Obviously, the dazed ally should not come to assist, but this is a complex ability ...

Why are you saying the assist is the intent and that "anything else is a bonus"? Again, that's your interpretation.
based on precedent. again, those are the "natural rules" of the game we have seen from the beginning. if you were dazed you could not be selected for the ability that calls an assist (no matter any other benefits, unless it was cleanse), this is the way it was in the beginning. as i said, if you want to change it now, sure go ahead and ask for it to be changed, but it would be a change from what we have seen for any ability that called an assist. this is what highlights that the primary action of the ability has been established as the assist.
I don't remember for sure, but I seem to remember that I have in the past been able to target someone who is blocked from the benefit on a different ability, like wasting a heal on someone with healing immunity, or a buff on someone with buff immunity. Which would be inconsistent with the "natural rules" of the game you are indicating are in place.
you do realize that I am not saying that this is a blanket rule for everything. the "natural rules" of the game have many facets and yes they can be different for different things, in different situations. Its amazing how things work some times, and they are quite often not the same.
the precedent for HI and BI are as you are describing, if suddenly it worked differently that would go against the current understanding we have of the "natural rules". this is all similar to how potency/tenacity play together. its just how it was established in this game. as i said, you want to ask for it to be changed, great, change is good, but it is a change from what we currently see and have seen in the past.
