Is this not a blitzcrank sidestep? I feel like i was completely cheated on it

Pfft, he obviously grabbed your flowing locks. Get a haircut, hippie.
blitz is fucking bs.
this still happens to me when i tumble out of the way as vayne.
rito spageti code
That was bull.
Wow. That's really messed up. If it were Morgana's Snare, Ezreal's Q, or Nidalee's Javelin it would have missed. I don't understand why they give the most dangerous skillshot in the game outside of an ultimate (Ashe arrow, Lux ulti, etc) the biggest hit box. to DISPLACE you into the enemy team. It's stupid. Even when you think you dodged, you didn't. So that's why he's so hard to dodge. His hitbox is bugged af.
I've had a hook grab my ADC at nearly max range... go THROUGH my ADC... and hit me. It had twice its range and as soon as I died my top laner was like "stop feeding learn to dodge hooks." I asked my ADC if they saw it and he just said he wasn't looking.
Spaghetti code can be super frustrating at times, but I learned why ADCs can't dodge Blitz grabs ever. Because they 'aren't looking' apparently.
Blitzcrank is the cancerist support to play against ever. I'll take 100 Sorakas over this one skill pony any day.
video proof of why I have been perma banning blitz for over 5 years. We've all played warcraft 3. I would rather take double blademaster rush abuse all day, than have to play against a blitz. Yes blademaster is one of those champs who would dominate in any game he would be in. But so is blitz. That no skill required displacement, knockup, silence. Not just silence, AOE silence. Which is the strongest form of cc.
At least when you are stunned you know you are locked and you wait out the stun. When you are silenced, you THINK you can do something other than move and AA. So you button mash, miss your timing, combo out of order. not drink potion when you thought u did. It's that added troll factor to blitz kit. Which is entirely troll based.
haha, you thought you dodged me but my hands are OP huge. haha you thought you could kill me, but i have ROA and w. haha you are dead before my E R wear off. because of course, I just pulled one of you into 3 of us. What's that you flashed? Nope get back here. Can't sidestep me, massive hands!
When I look at a champ like zed, talon, wukong, lux. They have potential combos. Based on items and runes. Maybe you've invested in energy, CD, flat dmg glass cannon build. Depending on your build, enemy build, position, that dictates what strat you need to adapt. What combo you might use at that moment. If it is worth risking life.
Blitz does not require any of that. He can sit mia in a bush and from that alone 2 enemies have to constanly think "must keep a minion between myself and that entire bush at all times". And that threat alone, can be enough to make them miss 1 cs a wave. Just by blitz presence in lane! That's fucking ridiculous. If I sit on top of enemy minions as blitz, they get 0 cs ever. Cause they wont come anywhere near me. I don't even have to land a Q, I just have to not use Q and they wont come near me. What other champion is a threat by not using skill? Blitz doesnt HAVE to lead Q. He can lead in with W E, an ally cc, end with Q. anything.
hes just too imba.
Excuse my salty language in the video
I'd call it a factual statement!
Just what the hell!? Rito, either reduce the Blitz Q hitbox, or make the visuals match the hitbox!
Fun fact: Blitzcrank's Q is the only ability in the game that legitimately can be renamed to "Handjob". And when he hits, it is a "happy finish".
Tilt of legend, its like when you're sure you're out of Illaoi Q but she hits you with just the tip . The range indicator on her is fucked
i swore off ever playing blitz the first time i ever heard of him no one should have to put up with that monstrosity
Yeah Blitzcrank's Q is an unhealthy skill and could have more counter play involved. It's Hitbox is way too large and is just plain annoying to play against.
Fuck Blitzcrank. Fuck Viktor for creating Blitzcrank. He needs a change to that hook.
I love Blitzcrank! He makes it a shorter walk into the enemy team. 
He got your ponytail/cape, it's over man.
TFW your scarf gets caught.
whathappens.jpg for anyone wondering:
when blitz throws his hook, his game sends a message to the server saying where his hook went. The server interprets this and correlates with the information from your side of the server and tells Blitz whether he hit you or not. HOWEVER, something that is particularly egregious with Blitz hooks (everyone has experienced it before though) is when one or both parties is lagging, there can be a visual discrepancy - it seems the ability didn't hit you but it did. This most often happens when Blitz grabs you in the last couple starting frames of a dash, jump, or blink - you appear to blink and then get pulled anyway. This is caused by both you and your opponent having ping differences to the server (and why you rarely see that kind of thing happen on the LCS stage, where the ping discrepancy is less than 10ms).
So basically you, or Blitz, or both, were probably lagging right at the second when this hook was thrown. It could only be 100~200ms, but if you're both lagging or any packet loss occurs it's still possible. Rito really needs to fix their netcode, but I don't think it is actually anything to do with the hitbox (though certainly the hitbox size influences this interaction, I don't think it's really much larger than it should be).
might be riot's new camera angle. it skews hitboxes
And you get even more tilted when he's a good blitz and predicts your flash
Skill shots seriously need an indicator tho. It's just unfair when things like this happen. Champions could do with an indicator too, to know how big we are (In the options menu ya know) Tired of Scripters having a huge advantage with this power.
@Riot, any chance of making an option that players can turn on to see both champion and ability hitboxes? Really feels like hitbox vs animation errors are too frustrating to just accept.
I don't record but 2 days ago this Blitz pulled us through minions, that happened twice in the beginning, and we thought they were scripting. And then they would miss with 0 minions around, maybe turned his hax off? :D Lag ftw.
One of my favourite posts in a long time as a true blitz hater for years
The Varus in the stream sounds FABULOUSSSSSSSS
Bugged af. But if Rito made any changes to Blitz's Q, the community would, well, riot.
