about my last post on blitz...

After I tried to discuss blitz being too much to deal with, with his zoning, u guys (as expected), as the pros u are told me "just get better" (which im trying btw).

In his current state, Blitz is an unstoppable force in the bot lane. His standard pattern of engagement - hook, knockup, ult, BM - is reliably performed and extremely effective. At the same time, some aspects of Blitzcrank’s design are simply annoying, not just when facing him but when playing as Blitz as well. Some nerfs paired with the feel-good tweaks should make the Great Steam Golem less frustrating for everyone.

from patch note 6.13.

thank you riot.

blitz is too strong. he got a well deserved nerf. i feel like he needs a mini rework like shen's at some point next year to reduce his 1 pattern of grabbing and giving him more utility for the team

what makes blitz strong is the snowball meta since the preseason changes. hes the best support to snowball a game. grab anyone. even a tank and the damage is enough to kill it by your fed members

blitz isn't an issue at all

if you see the enemy pick blitz

if your support pick Leona Alistar Morgana Braum

there and he wont be able to do anything even if he does pull you

if you adc pick Lucian Sivir Tristana Ezreal and he wont be able to land a pull

OR you can just pick ANYONE and stand behind your creep and pay attention like you should be doing anyways.

what are u people? BRONZE?

Again with this "learn to dodge" thing.. blitz is a top tier support for ages now and not only at low elo. when u say "learn to dodge" I just know u are full of shit and just want to show how good u are, its not his hooks, its his incredible zoning in lane..

That is a lot easier said than done. A large majority of the time, once the creep wave hits the middle of the lane blitzcrank will just stand behind your minion wave and completely zone you.

His Q isn't actually what's the problem. It's the fact that the rest of his kit almost guarantees that you dont have any kind of chance of escape.

agreed, it is a lot easier said than done.. but i am merely a silver player and i can avoid 80% of the pulls blitz throws at me. i fine it hard to believe that people in plat and above would have any issue with this

Blitz is strong because of his grab, punch/knockup and ult silence.

His ults cool down and his shield based on mana.

I go AP blitz in low elo, that being said he is def not OP. Like someone mentioned below, Ezreal counters him and so does Sivir and a little bit of Kalista .

I do main blitz support only in LOW LOW LOW elo because they cant dodge grabs. His grab is quite slow and u can bait it, by going closer to him to the left and back again.

He is quite strong if he can land those grabs but def not OP .
