"Blitz itsn't bad just dodge his hook"
Listen, I know he probably isn't the best to ban. But when he's not banned he is in my games 8/10 times. And it doesn't matter if he misses 9/10 times, that 1 time is all he needs.
NostolgicSkies85 votesi ban blitz not cause he's op but cause i cant trust every bot laner i dont know to not get hooked by him and honestly its a risk im no longer willing to take in this new snowballing meta
Heckin Support45 votesI feel like a fair nerf would be making him rooted for a short duration while his rocket grab contracts. That way if he misses a hook you can go in on him. It penalizes players for just throwing out hooks and hoping they land.

If there is one thing I would change on Blitz, is his interaction with

hi im minty6 votesThat's such a nasty combo...
Blitzedlegend15 votesTahm and kalista is much worse
Edit for all those downvoting me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0aE8IiCbDo. Like how does that require skill? How is balista worse than this?
Count Zubat11 votesNothing is worse than infamous "balista" combo.
doombotMECHA7 votesexcept balista+thresh lantern a +1 reaping balista, if you will.
Tuss2 votesLike he has to reel it back in as if he hit something with it, rather than just letting it fly away and having it instantly return back to his wrist.
RiotRiot Sotere37 votesI am that bot laner that gets hit by it.
Provengreil7 votesexcept its not always the botlane. it's the anyone not named alistar or amumu that gets grabbed at 45 minutes and loses that game that's the problem.

Templar2k76 votesGalio ults get power fisted by blitz all of a sudden useless. Nothing agianst But thats just how it would most likely go
DIRU46 votesyou can dodge the hook.
you can't make your ADC/midlaner dodge it.
alfavhunter4 votesI've flashed into a hook to save my adc and engage as the tank. :)
Solari Fortune32 votesBlitzcrank, the Champ that can zone an entire bot lane alone because he exists
rampaging poet11 votesYup. He can even zone people while shopping if he backs in an unwarded bush because getting close enough to ward it is a death sentence.

Truth. Hes as bad as evelyn, shaco and teemo in how they force you to play a completely different game by merely existing. A game that revolves around doing nothing just so you dont die -_- Not fun. Id recommend lowering his followup lockdown and reducing his Qs base range, allowing it to charge up to max, but thats just me.
420 Stylish28 votesI love when people's only arguments are "dodge it". Like, yeah, it's entirely up to me if his skillshot hits or not. Totally. Not like the enemy can predict my dodge or find other ways to make it hit, right?

Not to mention, a good Blitz will not just randomly throw grabs. He will try to get to you, use E, and then grab. That's why his W was nerfed before, this strategy was too good before because Blitz couldn't be punished. Throwing his Q from far is risky exactly because of how easy it is to dodge.
Mhihnj3 voteslol whenever i miss a hook and their adc starts to over extend i just flash in e and then ult. But it is very risky
AninLegions7776 votesActually, I've found that throwing bad hooks intentionally for like the first 7 mins of the game makes the enemy relaxed. Same with thresh. But once you are getting that gank, you drag those bitches to hell.

AIIan10 votesThose simple words are enough to trigger PTSD flashback on me.
ChaosThief4 votesMy brother said that about Nidalee in URF.
I don't want to think about that horror...
FrankerX12 votesi'd ban him not because im scared the enemy lands that 1 hook. i'd ban him because im scared my mates pick blitz and land THAT ONE HOOK where they grab the wrong enemy and we lose lol. grabing that liss right to our adc.
Mistress Madoka7 votesI don't always Land Hooks as Blitz But when I Do It's an Ulting Fiddlesticks and I just wiped out my whole team
Count Zubat4 votes
free initation by your team 
... The worst thing that can happen
Gene Freakz11 votesYeah I see some people ban him and definitely in lower elos he is totally ban worthy. You can do all you need to as a support but if your ADC gets hooked it is hard to do anything unless you have a tanky pick that can disengage, and even then it may not help if it is under turret. But I don't want to make my support picks based upon whether or not blitz is going to be in the match.
Knoyle22 votesI don't even trust myself not to get hooked because sometimes the hitbox likes to play Magnet.
Aerilus10 votesLol reminds me when I asked my team to help if someone gets charmed by Ahri, then Trist says 'Just dodge it' and gets charmed 5 times in a row after that
The Voids Call10 votesBlitz is also just super toxic in design. He's basically built to be passive aggressive. Yeah, the blitz might be complete shit, but unless you're 100% you can beat him even if he lands a hook, then he zones you. By standing there. Doing nothing. Because he has a single ability.
WHY THE FUCK HASN'T IT BEEN CHANGED TO HIS ULT YET?
Occams Raiser8 votesHE is a great ban. Who are these ass hats that don't think he is a good ban?
BeatzBoyFTW5 votesTechnically those who watches too much LCS and thinks bans are only suited for champs that the pro team bans only.
bloodmoth6 voteshes pretty horrible, and getting told to 'just dodge it' is all good and well, but if you could do that every single time without fail you would likely be playing in championships. skillshots hit from time to time, even when you try to dodge, and a guaranteed kill for getting hit by a skillshot is far FAR too strong.
Personally, id rework his Q to have about 600 range (Ashes attack range), but have the option to 'charge' it (thematically pumping steam pressure into his fist) to increase the range, like varus' Q. this way if he wants more reliable hooks he needs to put himself in danger and walk up to someone, if he wants to land a gamebreaking long ranged hook, he needs to charge it up, telegraphing his intentions.
I honestly dont care how much counterplay the ability has, the power it provides is far too much, and the follow up lockdown doesnt help either.
Firefox5093 votesthis so much
Leetri2 votesThe grab wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't for the knockup AND silence that comes after it. You really have no chance to escape, even if you flash you get knocked up and then he just walks up and silences you.
Reaper Soraka5 votesI like to ban Blitzcrank, but lately I've been fed up with the Fizz, which is picked way more often than blitz.
Blitz simply has too much zone control. If he goes into the bushes you have to move toward the river. If he wants to pull you near the river, well you just need to move toward the bush. Your minions don't provide as much cover as blitz players want to think. Ranged ones typically stand all right next to eachother, and we've seen plenty of threads complaining about how people are getting creep blocked by their own minions. 3 ranges minions = 1 very small protective wall.
Smart blitzys don't even engage with their pull. They E>R>wait for you to try to run, then Q.
Him having more zone control than a Zyra, Lux, hell even an Illaoi is a little ridiculous.
SnugglePuggle943 votesOr they E past the wave and when you notice and try to run, bam they Q you.....[slayer-jinx-unamused]
Akesgeroth5 votesAnd it doesn't matter if he misses 9/10 times, that 1 time is all he needs.
Quoting for emphasis. "Just dodge the skillshot" isn't an argument when landing it just once is almost guaranteed to land a kill.
Penta Penguin4 votes"I don't ban him because I can't dodge it... I ban him because you can't."
Hemoparty3 votesOne of the only good things about being Bronze is I can ban Blitz with impunity. Even if you can stay out of his clutches you aren't able to stop him from grabbing someone else until you can reliably bait a failhook. And every Blitz is different.
HI IM DAISY 833 votesStanding behind minions is really, really hard! I need to be full on aggro all the time! Playing safe is for WIMPS.
Canidae5 votesNo joke I've had situation where I'd be a squishy mage support and I'm maneuvering around this one poor melee creep, keeping it between meh and the enemy thresh/blitz.
Meep Man3 votesI always don't get mad at people for banning "Annoyance Champions" since they just not want to play them. I would much rather have fun and be up against a slightly more powerful champion than a champion that makes me want to pull my hair out when I play against them, especially good ones.
Knalxz2 votesA friend of mine always bans Galio out of fear of running into a Galio main again that destroyed his promos.
The Deckowner2 votesi know that many adc mains are afraid of blitz, they arent bad at dodging hooks they just dont wanna be anxious all game cause of a protential hook.
Celeste Benal2 votesI ban blitz when he is on free rotation. Rest of the time I don't see him much. His entire kit is just AIDS.
For some reason when I am playing ADC, I always get the one blitz player on the other team that no matter what just hits E and runs up to me regardless of the situation. Not much you can do when blitz decides he wants to give a fisting.
