Y'know what would be a cool/fun Blitzcrank rework?

Threading the needle with Blitzcrank is probably one of the best feelings in League. Not being able to save your teammates is probably the worst. With supports like Thresh and Tahm Kench being able to save their carries in some way in their gameplay, a fun little change would be so that Blitzcrank can gently grab his allied champions! (And by Gently I mean to not damage them.)

This way you can grab your ADC over walls, and or peel them from a tank while still being the great steam Golem we know and love. This also makes it so the player would have to think about how or who they're going to hook, not just when or where and also fixes how unhealthy his grab can be sometimes,, while still being fun.

Eitherway, I'd personally love the idea of a helping hand flash Blitzcrank save, what do you guys think?

Make it so when blitz misses a pull on an enemy his hand falls to the ground, have a brief delay, then retract back to him.

During the time it's laying there either an ally OR an enemy can click on it to pull themself to blitz.

well thats just the idea the thread gave me, giving way more risk to missing a hook for an enemy tank to pull themself to your team XD, but also giving the option of saving a teammate.

While I think it'd be cool, you'd now have the problem of allied minions... I don't think it would feel great for the blitz player due to that.

A lot of people really don't like 'forced' movement due to allies (e.g. kalista ult, tahm swallow), and similar stuff where allies can directly mess up your play (bard ult). I doubt friendly ass grabs would go over well.

Displacing or force-moving allies is something that needs to be done delicately, as it's really easy to troll people with, even accidentally.
