Why is Blitzcrank the most rewarding support...

And everyone else just sucks. You land a Blitz hook, you're going to get kills. Or at the very least burn a flash. And if you miss all you have to do is run away. LOL.

Take another support, like Bard, for instance. Even if you land your ult, you're not doing any damage. Half the time you end up saving someone you were trying to kill. Or someone like Soraka. Sure she can heal forever, but she's killing herself while she does it. And anyone with half a brain can dodge her skillshots. There is not a single support in this game who is more rewarding than Blitz. Just admit it. We need to either nerf him or bring other supports up to his level. He continues to be a highly contested pick at all levels of play and for good reason. It's time for other supports to join the spotlight. It's time for change.

Ok, I admit that Janna and Soraka are still pretty good. But everyone else is just meh compared to Blitz. When other supports land their skillshots, zero fuks are given by anyone. Blitz lands one skillshot, and it's gg.

It appears like you're equating "rewarding" with "getting your team kills."

There's things that Blitz can't do that several other supports can, Blitz just seems pretty straightforward compared to most.

Lulu has some of the greatest "f*k you, assassin" moments next to Janna. Her kit is decent for making picks, and her poke range is far if you manage your EQ combo and mana appropriately.

Soraka good map awareness means your top laner can be saved from that gank, you know. Building item 3504 can really boost your teammates' damage in a fight, like other multi-heal/shield champions (Karma and Sona being the main ones that come to mind).

Janna is the opposite of Blitzcrank, and equally rewarding.

Annie Brand it's obvious what they do

Nautilus He's like Blitzcrank, except he's actually good at peeling. And surviving. And teamfighting. He's basically better at almost everything Blitz does, if you ask me.

TahmKench Thresh is is often picked, the other is an LCS staple for a reason

Morgana I'm still binded from that one game in season four. Also, dat magic shield is severely underestimated.

Nami Often called a better Sona, one does have to admit she packs a decent package of cc (dat ult tho), heals and poke. ANd her passive+ult makes for a great engage.

Blitzcrank has lackluster engage outside of items if you don't hook a carry, hooking an initiator or cc tank can screw over your team, he has no way to defensive option for defending his carries and relies on a melee range knockup to do so, and his kit is just plain too aggressive to handle defense. He's not a bad champion, but he has clear and distinct weaknesses that allows other supports to fill the role when he's not needed.
