Just got a daily reminder why Blitzcrank is BS

It's not just the Q. But the Q should deal less for being an instant grab. It should deal 70/125/160/205/250 damage.

His W got its side effect, but...

His E needs to cost him something and do less in early. If you don't do this to Blitzcrank, he will be the most OP tank as of right now. Gives a bonus 20/40/60/80/100% damage based on current AD and knocks champion in air. Cost should be 25/35/45/55/65 mana.

I'm sick and tired of seeing Blitzcrank as a pick just for his oppressive power so it will be an easy win. If he going to be played as a support, he should be treated as a support.

I think his major problem is his Q, tbh.

It's like Pre-rework Nidalee: you don't actually have to be good at the champion; miss all the Q's you want but the second you land one on their carry it's GG.

Lmao and the other times when you grab the enemy tank into your team, it's gg too for you lol

Except missing his Q makes him borderline useless for the next couple of seconds, and if you have a champion that specializes in hard engagements, like, say, Leona, you can pretty much make him your bitch for the next 10 seconds.

after he misses his q he loses all of his lane pressure and gives you the ability to agro on him

if you can't take advantage of this you didnt deserve to win

I'm sorry, was I talking specifically about his laning phase? No, I wasn't.

When I compared him to Old Nidalee, I meant that eventually Blitzcrank will land a hook late game and one is all that is needed to instantly turn the whole game.

.... and if he grabs one of the tank lines? your team is most likely gonna be obliterated.....it goes both ways :)

So tanks can now deal enough damage to 1 vs 5? Unless their tank got fed he's not going to be unkillable when the whole team is on him.

All mumu/Sion/Shyv/Hec/sej/grag/J4/Wu, etc had to do was to press R and their team to follow up to win that fight.

3TWarriorJun 30, 20152 votes

and amumu didn't do that already because? amumu excels when people are bunched close together, but if anyone is out of his range, they can punish him easily and it's only about a flash-ranged radius for his ult

So how convenient is it if blitz grabs him into the team? He can save his Q and flash to chase after if needed.

3TWarriorJun 30, 20153 votes

really? the 700 hp tank at level 1 that outranges the carry? you're going to go in against him? what about when his Q is off of cooldown again in 13 seconds, which would be suicide to commit that long, especially if they still have minions

if your support isn't very defense specialized or offense specialized (say blitzcrank agaisnt blitzcrank) which would be completely annoying...you can't really punish the blitzcrank, who can if lucky or skilled, serve you on a brass platter to his carry for over 2 seconds. he can even silence, which prevents flashes

Thresh is probably common now because he is a specific counter to blitzcrank with his lantern and can do the same thing(just less effective)

Or miss one and get taken advantage of.

Blitzcrank is cancer, he's a useless champion, delete him so people on my team don't play bronze supports.

FHMarshyJun 30, 20151 votes

You are not serious.....? LOL

Holy shit someone actually complains about Blitz's DAMAGE????

http://na.op.gg/summoner/rune/userName=rew711 You know what would be a quick fix? Get a full set runes with yellow armors and blue MR.

Please don't complain about champion damages when you yourself is not equipped like the majority of the players do.

Rew711Jun 30, 20151 votes

lol, stalking much. I'm not buying runes yet for reasons. Besides, I couldn't help but feel mad because my support was Zilean, I'm definitely getting armor for Zilean.

FHMarshyJun 30, 20151 votes

LOL I was just immensely curious why anyone would complain about the damage output of blitz, and it's confirmed with my guess that it's because you don't have any runes.

As for your last sentence, "Besides, I couldn't help but feel mad because my support was Zilean, I'm definitely getting armor for Zilean.". Im not sure if you are trying to be sarcastic, but you do know you are supposed to be taking at least yellow armor on support pages if not armor quints, right?

He is op in lower elos because players are really bad at getting caught out without vision. His grab costs like half/ a third of his mana early game and his E is melee range. He has really high mana costs and if he doesn't hit a Q he is not much of a threat for the next 10-20 seconds. If you don't abuse this opening then it is your fault. Also if his team gets behind it is really hard to come back because unless he pulls a super squishy, He might get his whole team killed.

FHMarshyJun 30, 20151 votes

I think the reason OP think blitz has high damage, is that he has no armor nor MR in his runes. He doesn't even have a full set of runes.....

canpan14Jun 30, 20151 votes

Haha at that point anyone has high damage.
