Basically RWBY voted for a very offensive-based team, and failed to take defense into account. If they had, Blake would have been a better choice to swap out for either Yang or Weiss - she can work well with both of them, it just means they would actually use tactics instead of splitting up and ignoring each other's fights. and this I understand, but it brings up my main issue with Blake being ranked highly as a solo combatant​.... she can't hit for shit. Pretty much the strongest opponent she ever fought that didn't have a "huh... my sword can't do shit against this" moment was Torchwick... and she still didn't even come close to killing him on accident, while requiring dust to even do that much, the only really strong looking target her weapon pierced the first time was that Ursa skull... but she had it distracted by Yang... which is not a solo fight.

In any solo fight you need someone who can deal damage no matter the opponent... and Blake has problems with that.
