You Know What I Love Most About Blitz?
Unlike champions like Malphite, Leona, and Amumu who rely on their teammates' following up on their engage, I have found that Blitzcrank just has to pull a carry to his team and they will pile up on the target like hungry beasts. His playstyle feeds into the bloodthirsty/kill-loving mentality that so many players have in solo queue. I have been able to carry games from the support role by picking out the enemy team's carries and giving them to my team on a silver platter.
TL; DR: Blitzcrank's hook is perfect for solo queue if you pick out the right targets. Hooking a carry to their death is one of the most satisfying experiences I have in this game.
