Blitzcrank OP

I think Blitzcrank's grapple has such a far range. I play a marksman class and be trying to trade with him from a distance and out of nowhere a grapple will come and grab and pull me within his range. So he has more health and that deals a lot of damage. I have no chance. All I'm saying is reduce by a 4th or a third. Thank you for reading this and please respond.

If Blitzcrank grabbing from the bush is a problem for you, just buy some wards.

Overall, Blitzcrank is not even a top tier support. The pull is difficult to land, not because it is hard to aim, but rather because good players will hide behind their minion waves. In addition, every thing in his kit revolves around him landing a grab. If you deny him that, he has no use in lane.

Blitz's passive mana shield is only effective for the first few levels, where he might try to cheese you. Since it is based off effective mana, it soon becomes insignificant after a few levels until he catches up on items.

Although Blitzcrank has pretty good AP ratios on his abilities, most people play him support tank, so he shouldn't be doing much damage.

If you want to trade safely with Blitzcrank, just hide behind your minions. If you see an enemy pick Blitzcrank, tell your support to pick Tresh. Tresh's lantern counters Blitz's pull since you can ride it back to Tresh.

Hide behind minions...if you give him an opportunity to pull you, it's kind of your fault. The only part of his kit that deals decent damage is his ult, and that's on a 30 second CD. Really, it's not too hard to CS behind your own minions, it just requires that you pay attention to their health and their positions. You need to learn how to play against him before you start asking for nerfs.

Blitz is outclassed by Thresh in teamfights, and that's why people don't really play Blitz, aside from in normals. You don't see any Blitzs in LCS or in Worlds, mostly because supports like Thresh and Leona do pretty much the same thing, just better. Support Morg also pretty much killed off Blitz, since if he can't land a pull he's useless.
