That was a long time ago. By the time I got into the game they had long since stopped nerfing Blitzcrank and the reason why he was nerfed was because he wasn't supposed to be used as a support as his stats were geared towards taking on other melee champs in a solo lane.

People used him as a support because of his grab. It became an easy kill lane because he also did a huge amount of damage. So they nerfed him. Nami was specfically designed to do this and was buffed so people could use her well.
