Riot please consider reworking Blitzcrank

Maybe I'm exaggerating but of all of the supports, he is SUPER reliant on just 1 ability, the rest of his kit is pretty moot if you miss Q. Sure it's powerful in some situations but I feel like he's a 1-ability champion. His W? Pretty much there just to help him get in range or get around creeps in order to Q. His E? Pretty much useless unless his lands Q. R? Unless you're playing AP Blitz, it's still not as powerful as his Q ability. His Q is better than his ultimate. There are other hook/catcher champs Thresh Nautilus , even Morg/Pyke that can do just as well of a job and still provide team utility. You gave Alistar reason to stay in the fight after using his WQ combo with new E, as well as Leona with enhanced autos after R. These champs (at least post-6) can turn on a tanky steroid of some kind. He's just so terrible when (team is) behind.

I m one of the vocal blitz is busted and needs to be updated badly. That Q is game changing, to the point even a terrible game for a terrible blitz can still be decided if he makes one good grab at the right time. His kits loaded into that Q to the point its a real threat from game start to finish. Just not in a healthy spot and has not been for years.

But a W E engage can be just as good if not better than a Q engage, he is deeply reliant an all his abilities, he is fine how he is IMO

Very true. Blitz is in definite need of a change

Blitzcrank is one of those champs who are way too rewarded if they manage to achieve their job, while almost not punished if they're feeding, because their purpose will always stay the same.

Blitzcrank = Q at the carry = teamfight won Janna = enemy has a strong engage = even if she's 0/48, she just presses R and can turn teamfights around Lulu = assassin / diver / fighter is ahead = even if she's 0/8798 = she presses W on him and nullifies him
