xxfeatherpawx: okay, now, I get what you're saying, but let me just clarify... Blitzcrank is not designed or specified to be a support. The main reason he is played support is due to the immense amount of kill pressure he puts on a lane early, mid, and late game. What Riot meant for him to be (by his class rolls and old lore) is a fighter/tank. Maybe that will change when they do the Tank update (or fighter or support) or whatever they might call it. But until that happens, his kit does make a fair bit of sense. I mean, not so much the Ult passive, that's just random and impossible to play with/against.

This is just my take though.
