"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. "

That is such an overrated argument that almost everybody makes. His Q costs 100 mana, huge deal, yeah. It's whole 15 mana more than Lissandra's Q. And she has to spam the shit out of it to chunk down a significant percentage of enemy's health. Blitz lands one Q and it's over.

And he can build Talisman, Frozen Heart, even Tear to compensate for the mana cost.

"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."

Namely, zone themselves out of creeps, just becaue Blitzcrank is there.

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

Great argument. Leona's Q is annoying but it's her only cc when her ult and E are down. Nautilus's passive is annoying, but it's his only cc when his Q, his E, and his ult are down. Well, and Randuin. And Righteous Glory. But other than that, it's his ONLY CC.
