I would dispute that Bolas beats Kodachi pretty convincingly in a 1v1 scenario actually, the outcome is heavily micro dependent, like a harder version of Kodachi vs Venom (Venom easily wins in a straight fight but is more expensive and slower, Kodachi can force bad fights with its raw speed and still does passable damage even if caught, despite Venom having the range advantage on paper).

Kodachi has an easier time taking potshots at the Bolas but it takes several shots to win the fight, and Bolas has a harder time getting the jump on Kodachi but landing just two slow ticks is enough to secure a kill (117 speed Kodachi was a lot more resilient to this). It's possible to blunder a Kodachi pretty badly and die to a Bolas while leaving it at half HP, but most fight outcomes should result in the survivor being at low HP.

Of course this is in a straight fight scenario, but since Kodachi is cheaper and faster, it has a good chance of getting past the Bolas and going for the mexes, forcing the Bolas to get into a bad fight state or take economic damage. Getting two Bolas to fight a Kodachi is free pickings, but it should be difficult to get into this position, and even fights between the two are pretty volatile.

This
is
playing
at
200ms
of
in-game
ping,
I
think
Kodachi
really
benefits
from
low
latency
so
I
wouldn't
be
surprised
if
the
unit
was
quite
a
bit
worse
in
Australia.
I
think
my
own
Kodachi
micro
is
only
mediocre,
the
unit
definitely
has
a
lot
of
micro
in
it,
especially
in
groups
or
with
Blitz
support.
I
definitely
agree
that
defending
against
Kodachi
is
hard
for
Hovers
early
game,
and
Kodachi
vs
Bolas
balance
is
very
delicate.
