what my comment has to say has nothing to do with Blitz being a bad choice or anything (Blitz is still a good pick in my opinion), but only towards why Thresh would be picked more often in comparison.

Thresh has a lot of other benefits as well besides his one and only grab. Thresh has a AoE Shield, a pull for his teammates to escape or help gank, a strong poke thanks to his Q passive, great containment/zoning/disengagement with ult, and is fairly tanky.

Thresh provides a lot more utility that transition well into the late game.

And to go with his grab, it has lower cooldown, mana cost... so he can use it more often during the lanning phase.
