Well, yes, I play Blitz often, and he is unfairly strong on lower ranks. There are two easy things to know about bot lane, 1. that almost everything counters Vayne (except for Ez, Lucian, Sivir, Kindred, Jhin) and 2. that Blitz has synergy with literally anything on the planet.

You want to pick a support that synergizes with your adc? Just pick Blitz, he sure does -_-

However, claiming that Blitz has nothing supportive is imo a nonsense. He wouldn't be that strong in that role, if he didn't have necessary talent for it. No natural buffs, team shields or heals, sure, but as it was said, a bunch of CC. And that means that he not only has a pick potential, but also preforms lockdowns and peel very well. You cannot just dive enemy backline while Blitz has his grab up (unless it is bad Blitz that never considers using own Q for peel). Enemy Kata cannot dive so easily to collect the cookies if Blitz has ult ready. And a good Blitz builds full CDR so he damn has that all ready often (except AP burst Blitz, but such build has own weaknesses).

Blitz' problem isn't that he would be generally OP. He is balanced on average- weak vs skilled players, while strong vs unskilled. Because he punishes mistakes real hard, but can do little otherwise.
