I don't find that to be as effective as the use of them in MRQ. In MRQ, if you kept getting hit in the same damaged area, you could keep deflecting the damage with additional Hero Points (which is why they reduce damage). Each hit after the first gets negated, in effect, because all damage below location +1 gets removed. That's quite potent.
Reducing it to peeling back a few points off of a Major wound in a system without HL just isn't as impressive to me. I think a better way to handle it would be to simply have the attack to minimum damage, or negate the damage entirely.

However, what I strongly suggest is rather adopting the mechanics for plot bending, that is explained in both MRQ and Mythic Russia (better in Mythic Russia). This is more useful, and encourages good roleplaying.

I'm familiar with the plot altering stuff in MRQ, but I haven't seen Mythic Russia.
