As a Hardcore Blitzcrank Main, I can say he's 100 times better built AP/AD than Tank

Ok sure but why··2 votes·787 views

Here's why:

  1. He can only cc one person at a time, but his ult can hit a whoooole ton of people

  2. item 3003 item 3042 item 3027 gives him a 2000 shield late-game

  3. he HURTS and can burst down adcs all by himself if your adc sucks ass which they usually do

Yea but being tankier = longer life span = more pulls in teamfights.

When i get blitz support i dont want him to burst on his own, it's not bad or anything, but the amount of utility he brings just running around is enough to warrant him building tank to maximize his CC up time.

Having more damage = faster kills = shorter teamfights = proportionally the same number of pulls in teamfights.

If you just want some guy who can pull lots, use Naut or Thresh. They got tons more cc and more tankiness. Blitz is better for killing the people he grabs.

Thresh's hook is much slower and doesnt pull all the way, thresh has to get in there. Naut is also slower and pulls naut in aswell and cant go through walls. Blitz in a split second, can grab anyone directly to his knock up and silence range, while staying comfortably in his team's center.

Yeah but all those items suck ass up till lategame and aren't worth building on blitz.

Yeah, well, ADCs usually suck up till late game, too.

Most adc's usually spike during the early to mid game and very few actually get their spikes lategame. Furthermore, being weak early encourages the support to be even stronger. Your build takes a lot of gold, and time for meager results on a support. If you wanted damage, an ice born gauntlet is a million times better than what you're suggesting.

Also if you were a blitz main, you'd prefer CDR and movement speed over simple raw damage numbers.

Just because you can doesn't always mean you should.

If you're building that shit on a support's income, you've probably already won.

Well, I am a blitz main, so.

I would go for mobility boots plus deadman's plate, as well as 45% so I can land tons of hooks and reposition fast.
