If you haven't seen it yet on the PBE they're bringing back his self slow. After overdrive finishes Blitzcrank will now be slowed by 30%.

This change was made when Trundle first came out, and they've finally decided to change it back.

Never give up on Riot reverting changes people.

but the duration is down to 5 seconds though and the MS decays during it and it sounds like it doesn't give AS anymore.

This removes the thing that made blitzcrank so annoying.

"I can perma speed boost. Can't catch me! Can't run either! Wanna hide behind those minions? Fuck you, I am coming for that b00ty. Prepare for a POWER FISTING"

90 to 75 health per level plus a base health nerf. She needed it. 90 health per level on a mainly ranged champion? NO! And the 4 second nerf to her Human E is amazing.

Anyways, the Blitzcrank change is actually more on the slight side of a nerf since the speed up decays and the duration was reduced. It makes Blitzcrank much less obnoxious when chasing you in my opinion since hes not always going 40% increased movement speed with a 0.75 second down time or so.
