Mes cant break stun/immob with blink
I never understand why people get these things wrong. Crowd controls (CC) are white symbols on light purple backgrounds, or launch/push/pull skills. The ones with symbols are Daze and Stun, then they have push, pull, knockdown and blowout for movement CCs. THESE are the things that a stunbreaker will break you out of. As a note these skills make you unable to use any skills except instant-cast skills during their duration, which is why they are considered crowd controls.
Conditions on the other hand are black symbols on a red background. These include a set of conditions which affect movement. In the tradition of GW1 let’s call them “snares”. These are cripple, chill and Immobilize, the last of which is NOT a stun will NOT be broken by stunbreakers and just happens to lock you in place and disable dodges. To remove it you should try to use a Condition Removal skill. Note that while immobilized, only movements and dodges are disabled. You can still use skills normally. Not a stun skill.
before this patch I was able to blink and not continued to be snared…

No you weren’t.
the purple chain never followed me after blink before this patch.

Then it was broken and now it is fixed. blink is a stun breaker, not a condi cleanse.

I think you just never realized that the immob ended after you blinked because it was to short. Yes you can Blink while being immob but you can’t remove it with it. Similiar thing with Binding Roots you can blink out of it but the immob still applied. And since immobs can now be stacked its more noticeable.
The immobilize did stay after blinking. You’re best bet is using decoy then blinking so at least they lose target and the couple seconds of stealth will probably save you from taking some damage. I think making something like immobilize stack isn’t a good idea and makes this damage heavy combat system even more “spammy”.
Whispers with meat.
After playing 1600+ hours on a mesmer, I can guarantee you that blink has never removed immobilize.

You were able to blink out of binding roots and not be snared*.
You were always snared still if you blinked with other snares.
