My English tutor wants me to write a blog for LoL champions. I decided to do Blitzcrank first. Feel free to comment and give me suggestions. Any feedback is welcomed.



Blitzcrank strategy

Blitzcrank is a robot-like character in League of Legends. He is a unique support character because he has the “Rocket Grab” ability to grab an enemy from far range. He is hard to use because his Rocket Arm is very hard to control. If a minion is blocking the way, you will end up grabbing the minion.

Timeline:

Early game: Blitzcrank is a support character, he usually goes to bottom lane and protect his team’s carry. Most players get a boot and some potions and head off to their lane. But you are a support character with no heal abilities, you should think about getting some wards for early game to prevent ganking from the enemy jungler. When you are playing against another Blitzcrank, be sure to hide behind some minions or hide in the bush a lot. The first and second skill to get is his Q and E, which are “Rocket Grab” and “Power Fist”.

Mid game: Get back to base when you are low on health. You can purchase a Philosopher's Stone, it is a good item to get because it gives you fair amount of health and mana regeneration. As a support character, you will get gold faster than normal. Be careful not to take a lot of gold from the minions because your carry needs them. Make sure you buy wards every time you go back to base, you don’t want to be in a 2 vs. 3 situation when your carry is not “fed” enough. If the enemy support is getting some tanky items, make sure you just ignore him and try to pull the enemy carry. Blitzcrank’s Q, E, and R combo has about 3 seconds of control on the enemy champion, and it deals substantial amount of damage as well.

Late game: Make sure to stay with your team at all times because you can’t deal enough damage to kill an enemy champion. Put wards near the bushes to prevent the enemy team from hiding out of sight. When your team is pushing, your job is to grab enemy’s carries once they step into your ability range. But be careful though, you should not pull a champion with “Crowd Control” abilities like Amumu and Alister.
