Is it really 'cutting off access' if it was never meant to have it in the first place? It's not meant to be done with pugs, not meant to be used in normal content, from 'blow half an on-level opponent's health off in one hit' to '12 seconds of aoe freeze that damage doesn't break and is even better than holy' to just...bad breath, it is by design massively overpowered for normal content and could easily ruin the experience for people playing other jobs, 'why do anything else when BLU has -insert broken thing here- or 'people left because there isn't a BLU to just nuke the bosses'
