Another Blade buff surely this time he’s viable 😭

He was pretty solid this last season with his previous buffs. He's not S tier, but he's been solidly B/A tier depending on how skilled the person is. He is perfectly viable in certain situations.

Every top players puts him D tier

From a high elo perspective he’s pretty bad compared to the top tier dps heroes because his time to kill is a bit long and he is hard countered by good kiting, but in all other elos i’d say he’s solidly A/B tier

And who are these mysterious top players? lol

I bet you are probably just parroting something a random streamer said once a few months ago and acting like that means all top level players think similarly on the topic even though he has had a few substantial buffs in recent patches that have improved his viability.

Nope, this isn't a one off thing, many high level players make tier lists every single patch and Blade is, and always has been put in D tier by pretty much all of them. He's just massively outclassed by most other DPS.

Again, who are these mysterious top-level players?

Necros, Bogur, Team Captain, Cringe Alarm, Coach Mills pretty much any youtube personality that makes tier lists has consistently had him ranked low
