loool... so you have been playing for less than 90 days (otherwise, you couldn't get a refund for blitzcrank) and choose a title like that for your post? Just lol.

Anyways, it's kinda natural that you lose interest in a champion after a while. It's like a new toy. You play and play with it until it gets boring. That's why there are so many champions. You get a selection of free ones to try out every week and you can permanently get new ones for free with IP. Once you have accumulated a diverse selection, there's always at least one that makes you go "oooh... haven't played this one in a while".

So, anyways, there's a bunch of things you can do to make "old" champions more interesting to play again:

-Play a different role. If you're bored with playing blitzcrank bot support, try jungle blitzcrank. Try different builds on him. Start using your speed to gank mid if bot lane is too easy. Just try out new stuff.

-Play different modes. Twisted treeline and dominion will require different playstyles and strategies from summoner's rift, even if you use the same champs.

-Play against more difficult opponents. If you're not lvl 30 yet, keep playing to level up. If you're already lvl 30, but bored with random standard queue, start playing ranked. If you're already playing ranked, try to get to higher elo levels. It will make you reach a point where you figure out that there are many more details to be discovered about playing your old favourite champs.

-Check out patch notes on champions you have. Sometimes, old favourites just get boring because you feel that they are too weak or too strong. It will change.

And about getting excited for new champs... well, if you approach every new champion with the "looks neat, but will bore me soon" attitude, none of them will interest you any more. And, to be frank, some of them never were interesting to me. For example, I have never tried out hecarim and probably never will. But new champs can suddenly be exciting for entirely different reasons. Three examples from personal experience:

-Fiora: I used to be really bad playing ranged AD carries. So I got really excited when a new melee AD carry (fiora) was announced, even though I didn't like her visual design. So I picked her up (hrhr) and finally started doing really good when a bot carry was required. Once I had figured out how to do good with fiora, I got bored with her and started playing ashe and cait, which finally made me figure out how to play a decent AD carry when my team needs one.

-TF: Never liked him because of the big feet and the "pick a card" thing. Then he got a new model and learned how to do gangnam style, which was enough to make me like him and buy him (lol?). Still one of my favourite champs.

-Vi: Saw some previews and didn't care. Then she got an awesome title screen and I just had to get her ^^ (even though the title screen music is starting to get annoying now).

So, some final points to finish off this wall of text: Try watching a few champion spotlights or tournaments. Sometimes, you will completely underestimate the potential of a champion until you see Phreak dealing tons of damage with the guy. Also, try out some champs that are high on the difficulty rating. The harder they are to master, the more rewarding it is to do so.
