Bltizcrank was made by The Ezreal.

I don't know how you get anywhere in this game being bothered by someone like Blitzcrank.

So 1 out of 10 times Blitzcrank throws his Q at you and you get hit by it but every 9 times Blitz tries to grab you he misses and takes probably one of the most harsher costs for an non-ult initation that you can take.

100 mana for a single grab. A max rank cooldown of 16 seconds.

The W has been impressively gimped. Before you could make a case about how Blitzcrank rather effectively runs you down for a knockup or a pull but he now has a very weak speed up.

I do know when it works though. It works when the person whose being targeted for a setup doesn't notice that Blitzcrank is setting them up and doesn't play evasively.

Ya I know right, If you ignore the nature of a fight and any and all conventions a player might use to get the upper hand you'll get wanked.

E can be annoying but it's his only other CC when his ult and Q is down.

The ult. Is actually on quite a short cooldown but it's probably one of the weaker ults you can do to be honest. AP Blitzcrank gets good damage off it to be sure.

Passive is also something to keep in mind. THere are a lot of champs in this game that will punish you for diving them when they are low on health by having a second wind of sorts. Blitzcrank is a classic example.

Just for reference. Most Blitzcranks I play with and against rush Gauntlet. If you have a Blitzcrank that is landing most of his grabs and got that item before mid game you actually have a fed Blitzcrank and that is your fault.

This talk about one out of ten times means Blitzcrank is barely in lane and you have the gold and possibly the kill advantage. That an any anti initatior or tank will be an instant bad grab for Blitz to land.

Alistar: thanks for pulling me into your team, i'll take it from here.

Tell me about a real initator. Someone who has this great almost unavoiable lockdown power post level 6.

Ya know, Leona or Thresh or even Nautilius.

Not Blitzcrank.
