I find that blobbing is a tactic among others, if it become overlay preeminent, it's only because it's simple to do and still working well (especially vs new player).
But if a tactic become the only tactic to win used by top players then maybe some buffs to it's counters are in needed.
The counters to blobbing are : Mines, well place hmg(s), canisters shot, phosphorus gaz, incendiary barrage, Oswind, zis arty shot and others.
The weakest faction vs blobs is US, because they don't have many non-doctrinal counters before Sherman.
The root of blobbing come from the HMG nerf. Buff HMG a bit and blobbing will be less common.
By the way, i say that blobbing is a rather «noob» lazy tactic... exploited because of the lack of good basic counters.
