There are a few problems here:
-
Blitz is rarely left unbanned, so he's not a good first choice.
-
I'd much rather have a support who can heal, grant shields, or grant stat boosts. Blitz is good for a fun time, I guess, but he's more of a troll than a champ.
Blitz is a very fun champ to play and, if built correctly, a valuable asset to the team. If he can meld with your teams synergy great, if not there are many other champs similar like Thresh with his hook and early harass. As a support I wouldn't recommend him for rank because of his very direct "pull for kill" move set rather than supports who can be more useful outside of getting kills. I have used him to save teammates and win games, however while his grab is valuable, he may not just measure up to more diverse supports in ranked.
Blitz is a very unique champion because he has the ability to make a fight 1 v 5, steal buffs insanely easily early game, and make the laning phase hell. BUT his grab can be hard to land, so you will need to practice. I personally prefer Nami. GLUB GLUB GLUB.

you should learn how to play a variety of champs in normal first. blitz needs a specific situation to really thrive. if you make grabs you're usually golden. if you don't, you are useless.
that said, if you're team comp is short on cc/burst then you might not be able to take advantage of the grabs.
To me, blitz is a much more complicated champ than was most people believe that he is.
To many people: blitz is a make or break champion. You can either make it by landing pulls, or break it by whiffing everything.
Instead, I choose to rely more on the THREAT of a blitz being in the game, rather than actually landing pulls.
It is VERY easy to ZONE your enemy by being intimidating and ready to pull at a moments notice when in the laning phase. I've found that just by being there I can scare the enemy to hugging their tower, rather than even attempting to farm.
Don't get me wrong either, if I need to, I will pull them, you have to have the bark to match your bite, but don't let the fact that you missed a pull break you, you are still a useful champion.
If you can learn a good blitzcrank, you'll be a lot better off mechanically in game though, so either way you should try him and see how it works.
