Why Tahm is perfect lore wise and why blitz needs an update

So I main Blitzcrank , I love Blitzcrank to death, but im not saying he needs a rework. In fact there is a simple solution to what im about to talk about. There is a huge gap between Blitzcrank and his lore but to emphasize this I am going to talk about TahmKench first, TahmKench in his lore is a sly-talking, back stabbing, mischievous demon. In game he is his lore, he can save you, give you everything you want or he can spit you under tower/tp you into fountain, HE IS HIS LORE, to a T in fact.

Now lets look at Blitzcrank, in his lore he is a golem made from parts of other golems by viktor, he eventually upgrades himself and wants to help the people of zaun, he actually (if I recall correctly) saved a girl from a burning building. He probably is the closest zaun will get to a savior, at least in lore. In game however is a killing machine, chasing you down, grabbing you, literally all he does is kill, his VO makes even less sense once you read his lore, taunt "THE TIME OF MAN HAS COME TO AN END" wait, what? aren't you supposed to be trying to save zaun, I mean come on he doesn't even have interactions with viktor at all, not even a taunt. with other quotes such as "QUAKE IN FEAR, FLESHLING" and "EXTERMINATE. EXTERMINATE" makes no sense at all.

But about how to fix this. Riot doesn't need to change the VO, or the lore, or anything except one change, have his Q be able to hit teammates. Thats it, thats all it takes to fix Blitzcrank to match his lore, at least in the tiniest possible way. there are a couple ways that this could be done but if you guys want to see that, tell me.

Anyways I just really want his lore, VO, and gameplay to all work, such as TahmKench, Urgot or new Evelynn .

so you suggesting Riot implements a major change to an iconic champion and u call it : "that's all it take to fix blitz".

Dude u do understand having grab hit teammates changes the entire dynamic and identity of the champ right? not to mention what bad hooks will do to tf from now on, or how hard a trolling blitz can affect his teammates.

I am sorry dude, I am a blitz fan myself, but what you want from them would be game changing in a worse way in my opinion.

Funny thing is Tahm Kench doesn't have any lore, specifically an actual story to read anyway.

I think your confusing a character's personality as sufficient lore.

Im pretty sure that his VO is actually him JOKING about it, not being serious at all... his lore has been clear since ALWAYS that he is a good guy.

And... no, the grab being able to be used towards allies is a bad idea because it would be used for trolling, that is something that has being said since season 1.

... And the ammounts of trolling that it would cause are bigger than the ones caused by Ryze/Bard or Walls.

Thats a massive buff.

And in my opinion Blitz needs a VGU.

The friendly hook is Thresh. No need to homogenize blitz
