What is with Zed players and BM'ing?

Both Zed and Yasuo have a very high mechanical skill ceiling. That means that every Zed or Yasuo tries to make the best and sickest plays possible. It's all about the 1v1 (or any) outplay.

Once the Zed/ Yasuo manages the outplay, they BM, because the fight/skirmish win wasn't because of macro or something else, but because of superior skill.

For example, I would say skill based top laners like Irelia / Riven also BM when they outplay. In contrast, non-skill based champs like Garen or Ornn, don't BM as often.

Same with a Jinx/Tristana (not much chance for outplay) or Syndra/Viktor (also small chance to outplay). You don't see those players BM often, even tho they are mid/bot.
