My nostalgia can't contain the new blitzcank changes on PBE

{quoted}

Whaaaaaaat? Ugh. He's already a weak one-trick-pony support, so now when he tries to engage or escape he gets punished for it?!

They better be adding some god damn range to the Grab if they want to put this through.

He gets a lot faster when using overdrive with the change as well.

Blitzcrank. Weak.

Does not compute.

Lol he is the best solo-queue support in the game by a wide margin.. And he is not a one-trick pony either, all of his skills provide valuable utility. Also, the change is making his kit more dynamic with a larger speed boost and he only gets punished for failing to engage or escape properly.

They changed the skill more than just giving it a 30% movement reduction at the end.

The movement speed bonus now starts at 70/75/80/85/90% and decays over 5 seconds. After that he gets slowed by 30% for 1.5 seconds.

So it's a burst of speed that decays over time and then slows him. Perfect for repositioning yourself to land a pull. Not so good for escaping/chasing.
