it's a display error. when i played smn if i baned on a "2" dot node, it would spread 3.

also your reasoning is mostly why i don't play smn anymore for slaughter. i leveled blm to 50 actually just for it. i could still do really well on smn but i felt like the impact/kill ceiling was higher on blm.

if we were going back to secure or WD, though, i'd never pick smn over blm. but those days are long gone.
