Blitz seems balanced, but unhealthy...

I mean, its like Katarina or Riven. Feast or famine. If they're winning, they snowball to fuck. If they're losing, they're essentially useless.

Blitz, if he loses, basically wards and is a meat shield(one that's probably really behind and still squishy). But if he wins, him and his teammate can just freeze lane by tower, and sit inbetween the minions and their enemy. If they come in, they get pulled and killed. Generally with that tactic you can even win against a jungler gank, the only way to win against that tactic is probably to get a 4 to 5-man gank.

Its not that Blitz is unbalanced but... he's really unhealthy for the game. He's the kind of guy that makes people just want to quit. Not saying I know what to do about it, but if Riot has any ideas, I think they should at least try them.

What am I reading? Blitz is probably one of the best champions in the game for playing from behind. His hook can single handedly turn games around. Their Vayne is 8/1/6? Too bad she got hooked and blown up before the fight

If even one other lane is ahead, they can get the other lane even more ahead(assuming they're behind at all), and suddenly even if they do pull the enemy ADC and burst her, they can still win the fight. Or they can split push. Or they could simply engage themselves before Blitz does. And if they are ahead, that means they're probably sieging, and have a big minion wave on their hands to block any hooks Blitz tries to throw.

His hook width should be reduced, as some of the time it does not properly display the correct width ~~cough cough Dark Binding cough cough~~, but otherwise he's fine, like you stated.
