Ancient Coin VS Relic Shield on Blitzcrank?

The Deckowner··1 votes·4,103 views

I personally find item 3301 a much better item on Blitzcrank than item 3302 , here are some of my reasons:

  1. No need to walk up for CS, meaning able to avoid getting harassed by enemy and freely position myself.
  2. Mana regen is so important for Blitzcrank especially early game.
  3. item 3301 's healing is actually better than item 3302

For them, it all really comes down to "risk vs reward". If you're super confident that you're gonna land a lot of stuff, go spellthieves. If you're only mildly confident, take relic shield. If you're scared as sh't, take the yellow one.

Spellthief's value can only be maximized if you are able to proc the stack frequently in a safe range.

its a question of priority, can you afford to sit back with less overall health and jut leech gold, or go beefy, have to cs, harder to kill. later in the game, face of the mountain and talisman of ascension each give their own unique benifits, one with a shield and gold share, while the other a speed boosts, while less tanky, more utility. you dont gotta say no to one or the other. aint pepsi and coke. build depending on the match, ive seen blitz with frostqueens for the same reason.

Point 1: you're probably standing near minions anyway; closer hooks are more accurate hooks 2. You actually kind of have a point here, but I tend to think the Meditation mastery is enough if you're not spamming abilities all day 3. Ancient Coin's healing is better ON YOU. Blitzcrank does not feature heals, shields, stat buffs, or anything remotely support-y, so taking a small heal for your adc every minute is pretty alright.

I go item 3301 on Blitz, gives mana regen for more hooks, plus the health regen is nice as well, and I don't need to worry about getting the cannon minions. plus you want to swap to the coin line mid anyway game to maximize your gold generation while grouped, and the talisman active is great on Blitz

relic: for when you want to be tanky, rather than the initiator talisman: medium option - its defensive but gives you speed to run up and hook. spellthief: for when you're confident about your hooks

Apart from that, it's entirely about your playstyle

the thing is. I want health on blitz to be tanky. the finished coin item doesn't really give much of anything. I'd take righteous glory if i want the ms boost. which is actually a good item on blitz

but righteous glory changed in mid season, it no longer buff your team's speed.
