User blog comment:Tridan V2/Blitzcrank, The Hextech Golem (Rework)/@comment-3110123-20151116150552

I'll be hoenst here,  was the very first Champion I bought and was my favorite until I discovered the  but even so I continued to play with my derpy-looking Golem from time to time. But I gotta say, this rework looks promising, although the passive bit might be a bit overloaded (even though  has three passives). The Hextech Generator I understand, for even while mana potions were still a thing, Blitz still had mana issues, which is why I always rushed Catalyst or Glacial Shroud on him. It is the Hextech Receiver I am not really sure about. Sure bonus mana is good and all, but balancing this part of the kit would be a pain. On one hand if he gives too much mana it would make Blitz OP (as long as his partner is not a ) while on the other hand if he gives too little this ability would be practically useless (similar to how  old xp-aura passive used to be). This might be me overthinking it, who knows, it might work out well enough if we could see what it would look like in-game, but that's not exactly possible.

And that's pretty much all the ranting out of me. The other parts of the kit I'm perfectly ok with. I like how you kept much of his core identity in the kit (like how Rito kept the  exploding shield, 100% lifesteal and infinitely stacking health), as he is still insistin' on a fistin'. A bit curious as to how his Barrier Unit would work, I'm guessing that it works similar to a Time Bomb but instead of damaging it generates a shield around its target, in which case can Blitz pick up his own Barrier Unit, I'm guessing not since he already has his Manashield but there's nothing in your post that says otherwise. Also, when deployed as a giant dome, does it basically work like an all-around version of Unbreakable, or does it merely reduce the damage of all projectiles that pass through it? And lastly, your version of his ult says that he overcharges his Hextech Generator, does that mean that he looses his bonus mana-regen from the passive of the same name after activating the ability? Just curious.

Anyways that's all I have on this rework of yours. It looks like something that would be fun to play while keeping the core elements of what makes Blitzcrank the Golem of brass and iron that we all know. GG
