Blitzcrank's ult seems to be rather annoying, and here's why

Before you bite my head off, this isn't a "plz nerf hurr durr ruin game" post.

What I really want to focus on is his passive.

When Blitz plays support, it can steal minions, finish off champs and generally disrupt an otherwise fine and dandy bot lane, which is not an ability a champ should possess: i.e. one that actually sabotages the allies, not the enemy.

I don't think the passive should be cast into the depths of despair; no, no. I believe it should be reworked, my main idea is that it should; Charge up to 100 stacks over a short period, before being released on an opponent when Blitzcrank uses an ability, the passive will activate on the target Blitzcrank hits exclusively, this would eliminate the frustration of the adc as a Blitzcrank accidentally takes a few farm, and it would also help the mavericks such as myself that play him in solo lanes, so that he can actually farm without the troll lightning..

Please, feel free to post your opinions.

For me, it's the cooldown.

The number of Blitzcrank players who get 40% cdr and use their ultimate as waveclear annoys the hell out of me.

I'm talking about the passive on his ult. No one uses his passive as a waveclear.

I know man, I was just weighing in on what I think about his ult is annoying.

I mean, uh, I figured this was open to discussion. I was trying to contribute.

Why is that? XinZhao Volibear Rammus Maokai Lux Leblanc Ezreal They all do the same thing.

Blitz's has it at 30 seconds first rank, no cooldown reduction. Voli's is 100-80 Ez is 80 Rammus is 60 Maokai is 40-20 (okay I can give you that one for sure) Xin's is 120-100 Lux's is 80-50 Leblanc's is 40-24

Hm. Leblanc and Maokai beat Blitzcrank with max rank, with some close contendors to the level of spammability (granted, some are ranged and therefore a tad more annoying). I wouldn't say they all do the exact same thing, but similar, but my only gripe is Blitzcrank's cooldown on his ultimate. Maybe I could add Leblanc to the list, I guess. Maokai for sure.

Who uses Lux, xin or voli ult for waveclear?

I like it, because chances are i'm going to have a relic shield, and my AD or APC will blow the freaking wave up before i can explode a minion. This gives me that small chance of luck that ill get a charge off ^^;

You can just AA it to death, and the chances of last hitting the minion with the unpredictable passive is hilariously slim, it has to be incredibly well timed, and even then, your adc will get to it first.

Exactly, its luck which is exactly what i said i need to get off relic charges mid-late game lol

Or just right click the minions with your mousy thing and do much more damage

It would ruin bruiser Blitzcrank, and that's what he was made for. He was never intended to be played as a support. Also, as a support you can just stay away from the minions. I hate it when it suddenly draws neutral monsters aggro though, this is a serious problem.

um, how would this ruin bruiser blitz? It's random and annoying, if you play him in any other position than support then you're handicapped by the passive as it unpredictably strikes minions.

His ult is probably the least annoying thing about him.
