@ Riot Blitzcrank slowdown

A few months ago I started to play heavily on Blitzcrank. I think it would be overall beneficial for his play as a support to remove the slow effect after using Overdrive. The ability to speed up and back out of a fight is ruined by the slow, making the ability totally pointless outside of trying to perform a grab in the lane phase. So many times has a fight gone wrong to the point I have to flash out, only to be caught because of the slow effect and the cool down time. My suggestion is to reduce to the cool down of overdrive, or get rid of the slow all together. In my opinion it would make him a more mobile and for those who want to use him, a more likable champ.

Bltizcrank isn't meant to be a safe champion. He's meant to weigh his risk and reward. You need to make the right plays at the right time or stay away.

They added the slow and buffed the speed bonus so that he'd use it for positioning more often rather than just running away effortlessly every time he got caught. Paired with his passive, he was just too safe when anyone else would've died.

they will not remove this the only form of counter play has is to dodge his shit but even then he can change the game with only one basic spell lol he zones an entire lane just by existing and he has a giant AOE silence with very low cd in fact riot needs to nerf his grab speed and fix that stupid hit box on it since it's just retarded at this point even blitz players think its retarded only reason they dont complain is that it gives them even more of an advantage also his Iblitzcrank skin buffs his Q by making it even harder to see when it's about to fire

item 1306 item 3069 item 3078 item 3025 item 3800 + movement speed quints and masteries, + slow reduction mastery

This is my Blitzcrank build, and he's basically an angel of death with this. You won't notice the slow anymore

You can replace the Triforce with these two items item 3040 item 3042 if you want but you'll be a bit less fast
