Blitcrank's Ultimate Passive Should Have Been Removed a Long Time Ago

Seriously this ability is a huge handicap. It constantly cancels your mobility boots which are a pretty core item on him, interferes with the wanderer mastery (21 in utility) that many blitzcrank players take, steals cs and pushes the wave. Sure, it would be useful on AP Tank blitz, but who actually plays that? I don't think I've ever seen an ap blitz build that used the ultimate passive rather than just focusing on instantly killing whoever they pull. Why not remove this antiquated passive and give him a compenation buff? Or just make his ult passive only hit champions and not cancel mobi boots/wanderer.

Blitzcrank was initially designed to be a top lane bruiser, so the passive fit well into his kit seeing that he'd be a solo laner.

You don't balance the champ according to meta, that's the #1 mistake Riot makes, and what's worse they are still oblivious of it.

Honestly, the passive on his ultimate is huge on AP Blitzcrank. When I play him mid, I will follow the enemy champion and try to stay as close as I can to them until they get out of range, then just pull them back in and ult them. Usually get around 2-3 bolts onto them, which is HUGE. That alone is around 3-400 damage before any AP items.

I used to buy mobi boots when I played Blitz, but now I would rather go Sorcerer's or Swifties on him since they changed his W to slow.

Sure, it does cause me to miss more cs than I should be missing, but it also helps me to pick up some cs that I can't get in range to get.

As a Blitz main, I really enjoy having the passive on his ultimate. It's kill secured countless kills for me, some on accident, and some were in 1v1s. Nobody expects the passive to do as much damage as it does when paired with some magic pen.
