Petition to rename "Blessing of Blitzcrank" to "Trolling of Blitzcrank" in Nexus Blitz

I'm pretty sure I've been trolled by this "blessing" far more times that I've been blessed. And not just in the sense that it pulls in fed enemy champions that then proceed to kill me.

I'd be last hitting a minion as a melee champ and suddenly Blessing of Blitzcrank chooses to pull it away from me in an attempt to pull the enemy champion.

Or the enemy has the Blessing of Blitzcrank and I'd be standing still whacking away at the enemy minions and suddenly the hook shoots out... except it's not even aimed at me but aimed at a random minion way off to the side while I'm right there making no effort to dodge.

Or this one time when our cannon minion hooked THE RED BUFF we were fighting over and the enemy cannon minion last hit it, and BOTH teams got a champ with the red buff.

That's an interesting interaction...

The game couldn't decide who got the buff, so both sides got the buff lmao. I'd have liked to see a lane minion with red buff though

I remember one of my last nexus blitz games before they shelved it and brought it back for snowdown, the enemy team got blessing of blitz and somehow I found myself in the enemy team's base when I really should not have. The enemy towers were up and I was not very high on health.

the enemy team started chasing me and I ended up running towards the enemy minion waves, which would blitz pull me towards the minions as the enemy wave marched towards my teams base, and I ended up doing this 3 times to escape the enemy team.

Probably one of my favourite escapes.

I was caught out in the bot jungle by the 3 people, and their blessing of blitzcrank cannon pulled me to safety back to mid lane, haha

I don’t know why but Blessing of Blitzcrank will lock on to an invisible Teemo

I haven't seen this "blessing" hook a minion since it was shelved a few months ago. I had understood that it now passed through minions, but aimed less precisely to balance. I'll try and confirm either hypothesis.

Edit: Hook is confirmed to pass through minions. Not sure what you're getting at...
