What if Blitzcrank could pull allies in game?
His lore shows him capable of doing so, and I bet this could make for some sick plays.
There are some concerns, though:
- Gives Blitzcrank playmaking potential too similar to Thresh (on top of q-hook similarities)
- Player agency of the ally being pulled is compromised. However, there are precedents in game where abilities with a similar problem more than make up for it with their utility (examples that come to mind include tahm kench w and kalista ult)
Overall, I think this could be an awesome change for Blitzcrank. Of course, it would have to be in exchange for some power blitz currently has. Some options that come to mind are:
- Reduced damage somewhere (I thought of taking it from q first, but that could possibly take away the decision making between using q on an enemy or an ally)
- Reduced movement speed on w (this is more for those scenarios where a blitz and amumu are on the same team. With this new functionality, blitz could pull his own amumu into the enemy team, virtually a free gapcloser. The reduced movement speed could make it more telegraphed?)
What do the people of the boards think?
