"Blitzcrank is a champion with one of the game's most powerful and iconic abilities, but because of this he's also been stuck as a one-trick pony: he's the absolute best at pulling enemies away from their allies, but that's pretty much the only thing he can do, and he can only do it in pretty much the same way. Additionally, due to him originally being designed as an AD / AP hybrid solo laner and jungler, there's a lot of power on his kit that's just not that useful most of the time, such as the attack speed on Overdrive or the passive on Static Field. The goal of these changes is mainly to trim off that extraneous power and instead give him more options, partially by using ideas from his recent internet game, Blitzcrank's Poro Roundup. Overall, Blitzcrank should be the best at isolating enemies from their allies, and perhaps he also deserves to do genuinely interesting stuff with his ultimate, potentially spiriting away multiple opponents at a time."
