    BLM was incredibly niche prior to the buffs and stupid easy to kill. Post buffs outside of the LB its still stupid easy to kill them. BLM desperately needed buffs, so no it wasn't a biased update. The problem is the pure solo queue with no chat features means most people just do their own thing and don't coordinate. Prior to the patch most people just ignored BLM because they were not a threat. Post patch people still ignore the free casting BLM, but now its a threat so they just complain instead. Literally anyone with a brain can realize all they need to do is dive the BLM and they will never be a threat.

    BLM was not niche prior to this patch, they were in a good spot last patch and easily tipped over by this one.

    Lowest usage and win rates (14% less compared to the highest) were not good indicators of being in a good spot..... and that was even after 6.11 buff.

    In case you are wondering why I have a different name, E and R are not very far.

    It would depend on the curve, frankly. And *why* it was so much lower. You play a lot of BLM, right? I'm sure we'd both agree that the *why* is that BLM had a very high skill floor - arguably the highest. There's plenty of BLM mains in the top 100 in 6.11, and of course there's a ton now after the over-buffing because it's so easy to faceroll games now.
