Agreed.

Unfortunatly, we all saw Blake and Sun lose the two 2v1 against Torchwick... it could be argued that Ruby and Penny showing up saved Sun's life, and by extention, Blake's. (I personally feel like Blake would be much worse off, and likely dead, right now if not for Penny)

What follows is all opinion...

She's just not a 1v1 fighter. Blake's a ninja, not a samuri. She takes on many lesser fighters, hides in the shadows, instills fear... like Batman. But she doesn't take on the Big Bads. As it's not Batman's job to fight Doomsday, It's not Blake's job to down main villians. Batman keeps entire cities of thugs in check, Superman fights the world-crushing aliens. In the same manner, It falls on Blake to clean up armies of lesser men (and women, and Fanus, and Grimm, etc) while the rest of RWBY deal with Cinder, Trochwick, and Adam.

And I'm not saying that I would dislike it if she took out a big and dangerous foe... but Torchwick, Adam, Cinder, etc. should be left to the others, in my mind.

To clarify - Who would be the one to defeat an army? Blake, Blake, and Blake. Period. But the one to kill their leader? Yang, Weiss, or Ruby. Not Blake. She's just not the one.
