1) When Adam and Blake ran into each other why didn't he just wail on her like a monster?

2)Why doesn't Qrow use his scythe almost the whole fight with Tyrian?

3)Why hasn't anyone used any of the aura barrier or aura bomb moves from the earlier seasons? 1) Because that doesn't fit his fighting style or his MO as far as Blake was concerned. He was toying with her. Winning the fight was a foregone conclusion for him, so he was going to take his time and enjoy her suffering like the annoying emo piece of shit that he is.

2) Because Qrow isn't an idiot.

3) When would they have used Aura bombs? Most of the fights since V2 were against human opponents in tournament settings, and I'm pretty sure blowing up teenagers is frowned upon in the WoR. Other than that the things they were fighting were either too big or too fast or too tough for that to be a good idea. Ren's only worked on the King Taijitu because he'd shove its fang into its eye, giving him a conduit.

Look. Monty was great at what he did, but unfortunately that didn't extend to proper storytelling in multiple cases due to him and Shane saying "This'll be cool." It was there version of Merry's "This'll be funny" ruining Jaune's character, except it was extended across the entire series.
