Blitz & the mindset for playing him

CoolKnightST··1 votes·333 views

I was thinking the other day. Why do we pick Blitz, was are his strength & weaknesses. What are the reason to pick him:

  • We pick him to grab that ashe (to pick out a squishy from the enemy team)
  • We pick him if we need pick potentional
  • We pick him for zoning

But what of these points is he really best add & is it enouge to compensate for it's strengths. Right now I think he strength & weaknesses are both overtuned. He's a pretty old champion & his current kit limits him because of that.

Their is really one, actualy changes that I would to suggest. Just tell me what you think about them:

http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/e2/Rocket_Grab.png Q: Rocket Grab

He now pulls back his arm if he misses it. Enemy champions that get hit by his fist (other parts won't trigger it) while he retrieves it is are pushed back similar to draven's Q. This allows him to zone the enemies a little bit longer & still allows him to get something out of this hugh cooldown. However during the Q he can't attack. If he's moving during the drawback the fist will take longer to get back to him.

This is like you can see a little buff but with some new weaknesses attacted to it since his Q will take longer enemy has a longer window to fight back since he can't attack during the Q.

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/9/98/Power_Fist.png E: Power Fist

  • ACTIVE: Blitz channels for up to 3 seconds, increasing Power Fist's damage over the duration, up to 250% (his next basic attack deals 50 - 250% AD bonus physical damage)

Power Fist resets Blitzcrank's autoattack timer.

If Power Fist was charged for less than 1 second, Blitz slows his target by 50% for 0.75 seconds. If Power Fist was charged for at least 1 second, he knocks up his target for 1 - 2 seconds, based on how long Power Fist was channeled.

This means his E is actualy stronger while channeled but now he has to can't insta Q + E without activating his E first. So enemy will spot when he's trying this channel a full Q+E combo.


What do you think?

I don't like the Power Fist extra damage. That would make Blitz an insanely strong laner by just building AD, charging his fist then grabbing his enemy, slapping them in the face for the 250% and then W'ing for more AS and being able to chase them down for tons of damage. Obviously they could fight back but post-6 his silence would stop any abilities for a bit.

And Blitzcranks usually grab their enemy then immediately power fist them into the air, so I don't like having to wait a second. That would be a major nerf.
