Why isn't Blitzcrank on the champion rework list ?

Ok, let me start this out saying that this is not a post complaining about a OP or a UP champion, it's a post about a champion that I think deserves a rework. Blitzcrank is by far, one of the most annoying champions to face, and it absolutely destroys the game for anyone above 90 ping, since the only counter play to him is to dodge. And again, no matter how good of a support you are, if your adc gets hooked you can nothing because unlike the other "hooking" supports (Thresh, Naut and Leona), you go to the blitz, not the blitz that goes to you. This removes all counter play because the adc is going to get knocked up and silenced, and they support probably won't be able to do anything. On the other hand, if its a badcrank, then he is more useless then a pre rework Eve, only providing a possible hook, and depending on who he pulls in, he can fuck up his entire time (Mega Gnar, Amumu, Nunu, Olaf, Shyvanna). His kit is very binary and provides too much , or too little, and you are reworking Caitlyn for that same reason, she feels oppressive when ahead yet useless when behind. I used to ask for a nerf, but I realized that if they where to nerf him, it would gut him, and that is not what we want either. So yeah, does Riot have any plans for him ? I know that definitely not for the off season , since you guys are focused on the Shen, Poppy and Taric reworks, but IDK , maybe after the preseason ?

It is difficult because the thing that makes him Blitz - his gameplay identity - is the problem point. Whatever you do to rework him has to keep the hook or he wouldn't be recognisable.

It is not an easy job.

Agreed, and I think that this is the same reason why another very antifun champion hasn't received any changes yet ; Tryndamere. I think that he faces the same problem.

yea he needs 2 grabs cos he have 2 fists

And then a double knockup also because too fist

And he should shock you when you attack him becasue ultimate lighting and stuff, shock deals dmagae and stuns you every time you attack him.

And how does overdrive slow him he is a robot and robots do not slow down. permanent overdrive as passive on that ability then make it hyper over drive active which give 5x that bonus.

Ult needs longer silence and added knockbacks to the lightning strikes on it, aswell as the active also need a knockback.

Yeah, and while we are on the subject, I think that Annie's range needs to be bigger, Lb should get her silence back, Karthus's ulti should be his Q and his ulti should deal percent health max damage to all members of both team (excluding Karthus , duh). I think that this should help bring balance to the game.

Thresh can save you

also, blitz is so rewarding to play i'd be gutted if they removed his entire identity, as that is what you find anti fun

Blitzcrank The time of man has come to an end

Actually, no he can't. You can't use the lantern if you have CC on you.

Probably because the list is so long that there's no point adding anyone new to it for at least a year or more. At best, putting him on the list would just be like saying "yeah he needs work, wish we could help." The only thing is, EVERYONE KNOWS that he needs work, so that is pointless, and they don't want to get people's hopes up that he'll be coming any time soon, because there are other more important reworks that have been waiting a lot longer (like Urgot and Yorick).

Pull a Mord on Blitz and force him into the solo lane.

Problem solved.
