Years later, Blitzcrank is still anti-fun.
Title says it all. Blitzcrank is anti-fun. It doesn't matter if he's a godcrank or a crapcrank, one hook can ruin your entire game. If you want to play champions that don't cater to Riot's Mobility creep he's basically hard counter to all of them. I have never hated any champion as much as I do Blitzcrank. He's literally cancer in this game and the fact that Riot allows him to stay the way he is says a lot about their balance team.
Blitzcrank's entire kit needs to be Olaf'd. Nerfed so hard no-one ever, ever plays him because I hate. HATE seeing him in my game, on the enemy team or my own. Even when Blitz is on my team when he lands a hook 'that's bullshit' runs through my head.
What's worse is how stupidly safe he is to play stupidly. His passive shield allows him to dive right onto your carry and not worry about getting bursted before he shuts them down. His Ult's damage ratio is way too high.
Riot, you need to fix that damn champion. And no, giving him an early game nerf is not fixing him. He needs to be nerfed into the ground while you come up with a way of making him NOT anti-fun.

and every tank in the game pretty much soft counters him. Tanky blitz does little damage. AP Blitz dies pretty easily. Solo lane Blitz is balanced.
