It's straight up a buff, in my opinion. Especially for people who don't know how to manage their resources, or against people who do know how to punish Blitzcrank's lack of mana early.

His R passive is nothing but a buff. Blitzcrank's old ult passive was too much RNG unless you were 1v1ing someone with no minions or jungle camps nearby, now it's GREAT for laning phase and gives Blitzcrank the extra oomph he needs while fighting a lane opponent, in the case of toplane. I'll probably be using his new ult just to shove in waves when I kill my opponent, considering how much more valuable the passive damage is in the long term.
