If one nerf is enough to have this reaction...

... good thing you weren't a Sona main last season.

They fucking slowed him DOWN after his SPEED UP, that's not a nerf, that's a "haha blitz won't be played in ranked now won't he?"

I don't think it's game-changing, dude. I find it just removes his safety a little. Similar to Ahri's orb, the initial speed boost is to position him quickly for a good grab, and the slow down is punishment if he misses so he can't just run away to safety. Also removes it as a chasing tool if you miss your grab and want to run up to the adc and punch them. Sounds a bit silly, but I've seen players do that. O.o

At least that's my interpretation. Blitz is the third highest pick and high win rate when I checked a couple days ago, so he'd be likely to be put under scrutiny before other supports. Is this the right direction? Hell if I know. I'm just trying to understand it to the best of my ability.

I can't homeguard + w to get to first turret anymore. Also his base movement pattern seems clunkier now after 5.7.

R.I.P Blitzcrank 2015. We have iPhone 6's, new summoner's rift loading screen and blitzcrank time travels back to S1.

All the downvotes coming from people who hate blitzcrank.

I don't know man, it's like assassins I guess. Blitz's full combo can kill a squishy early game in the bot lane, so people wanted him to have a glaring weakness between his shield, two cc (three if you count the grab?), and low cd ult.

Personally, I used to hate him but I don't anymore after I learned how to punish him. But I'd never play him :/

You're quitting even though they didn't change his 3 abilities that are needed for his combo? That's interesting.

Minor, almost un-noticeable nerf for a long time Blitzcrank player. Heck, it's almost a revert except it has a huge initial move speed burst on use for repositioning for Q picks.

LOL, Bronze will still lose to blitz

Ok, anyone actually care?

I actually love Blitzcrank, in my opinion he's not the strongest support in the game, but if you play him well you can dominate a bot lane easily. He has mana issues early game but complaining about his W slowing you down after a huge movement speed increase is a little bit much. He's still a huge lane bully, you step out from behind minions and get Q'd its GG.
