A successful BLM player understands the inherent fragility of the job. They maintain the delicate balance between aggression and defense, constantly assessing their surroundings to translate the intentions and mistakes of their enemies into strategic advantages. They read their teammates to assist in their goals and benefit off of their movement. In essence, the best BLMs among us are the ones most in tune with the game state and can meaningfully predict the behaviors of both their allies and enemies.
