250/375/500(+100% AP) .5 second silence ----> 125/187.5/250(+50% AP) 1 second silence

Make it more about disruption and less about nuking

Lets make it no damage but infinite silence.

How about half the silence and double the damage instead?

I honestly think that Blitz would actually be fine if he was given the extra .5 seconds of silence on the ability as it currently stands. I'd also be fine with it if the damage were changed to 200 / 300 / 400 (+80% AP) or 250 / 375 / 500 (+70% AP) and the silence were doubled...losing half his base and scaling damage for an extra .5 seconds of silence would be ridiculous.

If you did have the damage and the AP ratio, I'd need to see that silence upped to at least 2 seconds, and maybe see the passive component apply either a slow or a micro-silence or something: losing that much damage would need some serious compensation, since Blitz isn't exactly top-tier at the moment.

It kills his viability top lane.

Are you aiming to hurt AP Blitz? You realize what a longer silence would do for Punchcrank right?

Im aiming to make his Ult more about disruption. I dont care what this does to specific builds.

So you want to make a change without looking at potential balance implications? What?

No? I want to make a change without taking into account specific builds.

There's no difference between ignoring builds a champion can and does use and ignoring balance issues. When making a balance change you have to look at hundreds of different interactions between items and said champion.

As a mage main... I hate you for even suggesting it, but you have my respect for at least trying to balance it. I do believe Blitz would be a stronger champion with these changes.

meh.I like nuking people when you land a q, but I can see why you want this.

More like being a minor nuisance and nothing more. =/

If you took off 10% scaling, you could double the silence. If you half the base and scaling, that silence had better last a full minute.

If they do anything with Blitzcrank's ultimate, they'd probably make it interrupt channels instead of silence (same thing they did when they reworked Viktor's ultimate). AoE silences at instant speed are not good (Cho'Gath's is telegraphed and slow).
