Bloodbending isn't as powerfull as you make it. We've only seen four people bloodbend, Hamma, Katara,Yakone, Tarrlock. and Amon. Hamma bloodbended nonbenders/firebenders, but Katara easily overpowered her. Katara bloodbended an elderly woman and a firebender. Yakone bloodbended a lot of people, none of which were waterbenders. Tarrlock bloodbended Korra, Amon, and the people at city hall, only one could of been a waterbender and Amon overpowered him. Amon bloodbended Leutinent, Korra, and Mako. Mako and Korra overpowered him.

If someone's going to fight, they should be able to use the skills they learned and mastered. Saying someone can't use bloodbending because it's not fair is like saying if two firebenders were fighting and one was significantly better than the other, the better one could only use attacks the unskilled one knew.

Bloodbenders can be overpowered by waterbenders. Lightning can be redirected by firebenders. Don't expect most nonwaterbenders to overpower a bloodbender. You don't see many earthbenders redirecting lightning..

Sure, bloodbending is unfair. So is lightning. So is metalbending. Because not everyone can do it. They're what seperate the masters from the real masters.
