I don't like the concept of being grabbed -> instant death that blitz brings.
atleast alistar is kinda not that bad It's the same exact thing, he just moves to you instead of you moving to him. A bit weaker but balanced by the fact that you can't really avoid it but can avoid blitz I look forward to getting to an elo where he's a problem, at my elos the blitzcranks generally can't hit the grabs properly or just don't know who to grab and when(Darius being a good example)
Don't even need to grab, run towards them, if they focus you, team rolls over them. If they run away, easy grab. If they actually let you get in melee range you powerfist them and grab when they run.

Powerfist is totally bullshit though I got to say, 1.5s stun or so on a 3s cooldown

Don't forget the silence when you get fisted and knocked up too

It was my understanding that some time ago Blitz was acknowledged to be very strong but because of the difficulty of his hook it was acceptable. Blitzcrank is a case of the playerbase improving enough to make him a threat perhaps? That'd be pretty neat.

Blitz Grab is one of the best things for this game. Forces you to find some aggressive strategies instead of having standoffs at Baron.
He might be OP or not, who knows, but this game already lacks abilities that favor initiation over counter initiation.
|
I've been bitter about Blitzcrank for like 2 months. I was one of the few people consistently playing him. I'd run blitz support often, and the minute spectator patch hit suddenly he became more used in high level games. Suddenly everybody seeing it meant they started. It bothers me, not because of my hipster status w/ blitz, but because he's banned so often that if I want to support I can never use him anymore.
I entirely agree with spine though. The game needs more good ways to engage on champions and blitz certainly allows that.

Good blitz players have always known how to play him to his maximum effect - landing nearly every hook they need to land and the occational lucky grab.
If you are good with blitz, you can win the game for your team.
Also, yea the game needs more abilities like the blitz hook, poppy ult, amumu bandage or noct ult. Abilities that makes engaging and ganking favourable and effective even when the other team has the advantage, but can be difficult to use right.

we don't need more noct ults imo >_>

Yeah we need more cases of 5man ganking 1 person, that person killing your carry, and running away at full hp

yeah the game needs more power abilities, instead of just synergious champions.

wow, just tried logging in and 1hr queue for NA servers. Is there an issue or something?

Yeah should just stand in the middle with no one engaging for 20more minutes. Why would you run away at full hp in a 5v4 anyways?

It's been like that

Noct ult is great initiation and it makes you feel badass, but it's the vision reduction that's annoying, same with Graves' smoke bomb, it takes like 2 seconds to walk out of that thing, and if that's happening late game, you're already dead with no chance of retaliation.

That's easily solved by not splitting though. If team is together you can stomp anyone trying to dive someone.

It's not just that though. It's his ability to bypass wards by just lane ganking. Too strong. Then late game the vision does screw with people badly >_>

Cos I got ganked by 5 and my team wasn't near so I just let the ignite tick the AD carry down as I escaped o_O My comment was more like "poppy ult imba"
Also I absolutely hate nocturne ulti. The blink is fine but making every fight near brushes autoloss for the enemy team is really stupid.

Anyone else getting wrong masteries/runes when you know you're picking the right ones?
|
I personally don't need more initiation/counter initiates. Pros do though with their sub 20 kills games.

Just woke up from a nap, now I'm all worked up to play some league of legends. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 23min queue time. Way to kill my mood, riot servers.
