KoTBS is pretty awesome though from what i hear.

Levelling a BG is extremely painful too, because you'l be up against KoTBS alot, and they steamroll BG.

So basically every SC up to 40 a BG player is just going to lose.

Well, BG was never supposed to be equivalent to IB.

BG and IB share the same mechanic, but not the same role.

SM is the light/2h/anti-magic tank of order
BG is the light/2h/anti-magic tank of destruction.

They have different mechanics but they share the same role.

Just as SH and SW have different mechanics but share the same role as archer.

IB is equivalent to BO, to which the comparison of role is very close now that IB has been nerfed down.

Well the stated role of SM was to be an anti-magic tank, but tbh they have nothing that makes them an anti-magic tank, the BG fits that role much better purely for the tactic that decreases magic damage by 25%.

The only unique aspects of SM is the viability of being a 2h in rvr then other tanks since they alone have an ability to disrupt,parry,dodge 50% channel 20ap/sec with a 2h.

And they have a type of white lion pounce as 2nd moral ability that also aoe snares which no other tank gets.

I don't think the IB has been nerfed down much at all, according to my friend who plays it, while they introduced the nerf to Oath friend grudge building, just about every ability of theirs has grudge reduced as well as some have cooldowns etc reduced.
He in fact thinks it was a buff.

Also im on test server, swordmaster called Aenar.
