Has blitz EVER been WAY out of meta?
Honest question, I've played since Gnar was new and have yet to see Blitz be considered a bad pick

... you know if a champion is viable in every meta weak in few and OP in none..
IMO its a pretty damn well balanced champion that shouldn't be touched..
I like playing against Blitzcrank. It's a free engage for me if I get grabbed.
As long as the player is skilled with the champ he is a good pick.
Blitz is always a bad pick XD ?
Only champion he counters are non-tanky, non-mobile spellshieldless champion, others are all counters.
So 80% of the bot lane and mid lane?
Yes, 80% is close enough to represent all of his counters
you mean people he counters?
No 80% are the champions who counters him.
I'm
not
sure
what
you
mean
by
that.
please
be
more
specific
about
what
mid
and
bot
laners
he
has
so
much
trouble
grabbing

(
Big one)
(
makes people go Vroom, difficult to hit grabs)
(
E or Zhonya + R and you kill your team)

I ain't buying what you're selling

Heim has no mobility and has to hold off his damage to avoid a hook, azir's mobility is too slow, akali has conditional mobility that makes her easy to catch out, diana has conditional mobility that makes her easy to catch out, kennen can be silenced and knocked up before he can r + zhonya, and I'm not sure how to tell you this, but increased movespeed on one person from karma and lulu means that they cannot dodge the hook. Wow, so good.
Blitzcrank excels on making "picks" later in the game, during the first part of the game he only sees two guys, the ADC and the Support, if their support is a tanky mofo like Alistar or Braum he loses the lane, if the ADC has a spellshield or a dash he loses too, if they're both why the fuck did you pick Blitz since you won't do shit for 15 minutes?
Blitz can roam top and can get ganked by the enemy jungler.
During lategame he grabs the first non-tanky, non-mobile spellshieldless champion he sees, if he tries to grab any other champion he:
Tanky. Throws the game on the spot.
Dash. Misses the grab and doesn't do jack for 10 seconds, team flames him because he fired a grab with 0% success rate.
Spellshield. He looks like a retard and disrespects the opponents thinking they're braindead.
Except if theres a tank support you aim for the adc. If there is a mobile adc you can still just run up to them with w, you should rarely roam top because mid is so much better for him to gank and you could say the same thing about any champion with cc vs a spell shield.
What do I know though? I only play blitz efficiently at a high plat mmr vs better, smarter opponents.
Blitz excels at the early game where he has massive kill pressure with less targets in his path to block the hook. Not sure where you got this late game info from

EUW Master Blitzcrank almost OTP (he can't since Blitz is garbage and gets countered by what I said above), he's very informative and explains a lot.
People play a lot behind minions, poke when you run at them with W while sidestepping in his Master games, Blitz excels against people who can't see he hole between the wave.
