Can we make a change to Blitz' R Passive?

PASSIVE: While Static Field is not on cooldown, Blitzcrank fires a lightning bolt at a random visible enemy within a 450 radius every 2.5 seconds, dealing magic damage. (NEW) Minions and monsters hit by the Static Field passive are marked for 2 seconds. If a marked target dies to a non-champion within 125 units of Blitzcrank (AA range), Blitzcrank is credited with the kill.

This should remove a lot of the problem with Blitz' passive ruining last-hitting while solo, and at least preventing the loss of gold in duo lanes. Since it grants kill credit, it should be able to proc Relic Shield, too. The range could be adjusted as necessary if 125 is too short, and the mark duration can be flexed but 2 seconds seems reasonable. I'm not sure how to make the passive work for non-Relic duo lanes without some sort of Kalista bond.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding it correctly but, won't that make his top lane and mid lane cs 100%? That would be so strong and probably op in lower elo.

No, the mark only applies to things that it hits. He wouldn't be credited with farm that his passive didn't mark. This is just to grant credit of things that he is in auto-attack range of that his passive randomly hits to low HP that gets lost to minions/turrets. If you're standing next to an enemy minion that your minions are targeting, and your rank 1 passive hits it at ~120 HP, you're going to lose the minion. This would prevent that. If his passive hits a minion at full HP, the 2 second duration is (I think) short enough that he would still have to last hit it normally, but long enough that it won't be lost to the turret if it's the minion currently being targeted.
