JP plays as a team, which is why their blms are strong. NA plays YOLO, which is why mch is so strong.

The nerf was needed. In high level feast matches against a blm, the whole team needed to hold purify for their healer (which is about the most powerful thing possible, saying otherwise is ludicrous).

Blm still seems stronger than brd or smn played at a high level. Mch is definitely still going to be the NA soloq champ though. I think they are in a good place, mch is just a bit too powerful (can 2 shot someone and still have burst leftover to kill another person).
