Bush control is a very important point I didn't emphasize appropriately. It's very important that you keep the bush warded vs. Blitz whenever you can. Starting with a 4th green or a pink helps me a lot with it. If you take away his element of surprise, he's a lot weaker.

Check that he hasn't started with a pink himself though, and react accordingly, since a good blitz will start with a pink to keep the element of surprise. It's a tricky thing.

I do see alistar as a potential better counter in terms of denying kills. The issues are that he's often banned or picked up for jungle, and that he doesn't really have any harass to ruin blitz's day with. He's a perfectly good pick despite that, of course.
