I dunno, why can't blitz not be taken out of the champion pool? At my elo, he get's picked whenever the person does not want to support but has to. Mostly into Graves Ali or Graves Taric. That's the lanes where you hope he never actually grabs anyone, just stay here and do nothing, pls?

I wont lie i started playing him after watching gosu pepper carrying the shit of his teams on his smurf with blitz.

why you dont trust blitz players for their skillshots

It's all in the question really.



Even if you land 99% of your grabs, people will call you for the one you missed.
So depressing.

I've been on the other side though - miss 90% of my grabs, but make the one lategame grab that instagibs their ad carry and wins us the game, "pro blitz"


Lol. I played a game the other day where I hit 2 headbutts and 2 Pulvs in a teamfight in front of the enemies mid inner turret and ~ 3 people on my team just said "CarryStar". Never felt so awesome as a support before. Nevermind that our Corki/Ali lane went 0/0/0 and basically even in CS vs. Soraka/Ashe (although I out CS'd Soraka by 10!).

I tend to prefer Alistar to Leona because people in soloQ are dumb and even if they don't know how/when to commit I still have sustain with Ali, and I find him better when you just need to gtfo (read: he can cc somebody, walk out and survive more easily than Leona).

Would be great if Ali wasn't banned every game lol.

And Smash, why you gotta hate on the Sheriff? Not cool yo.


So I am not the only one who has given up on the ranged supports? As Janna/Soraka I just feel like 1 misclick = feeding nowadays.

They're still good. But nerfs mean you need to play much safer during the early game since if you get all-in'd by high burst damage lanes like Leona+Corki or Ezrael+Blitz you die or lose all lane control. Janna particularly works nicely with Graves and is still a popular lane in OGN.

If that doesn't suit you, there's also Sona and Lulu who can be a ranged threat in lane and have good poke harass. Their Ults are also really nice for initiation and counter-initiation. You have to remember that melee champions by design tend to be tankier than ranged because they have a shorter threat range. Keep kiting and understand what you want to achieve in lane. It's perhaps harder in solo queue because often you and your AD will not be on the same page. (e.g. They don't respond correctly when you want to harass, don't understand when to freeze lane and zone, etc.) Just have to respond to the situation and go with it.



Isn't that because janna/graves is a considered a safe lane (much like soraka/corki which is also a popular lane in korea)? You hardly see M5 run janna anymore, because aggressive laners are so good at snowballing bot.

Don't you pick Blitz simply because he's awesome? Oh well, I don't care, I'll be a Blitz hipster even if I have to port him to toplane now. :<

Yeah, I'm really growing to like Locket on non-healing supports. It's a cheap upgrade with a shield and psuedo heals with it's aura.

Janna will always be a good pick when you don't plan to get aggressive in lane as long as her passive remains as is. top mid and jungler all faster than their opposition sounds pretty good when you think of it that way.

(she also has decent 1-5 and good 6+ disengage so forcing a farm lane is completely do-able.)

So the problem is that Jayce can't initiate on Irelia with his combo, because Irelia can Q in and trade with him. Irelia won't win the trade outright, but she has better sustain to recover from it.

Jayce needs sustain in a lot of matchups, but it's not a big deal for him to grab pots early and a quick vamp scepter.

As to Irelia, I just stay in ranged form most of the time and zone her/play safe, then Hammer QE her if she dashes to me. It always feels like kind of a mexican standoff lane to me, as both have the potential to win trades at different points of levels/items, so both players are really wary to go in on one another. A gank snowballs it either way absurdly, though.
It's your boy Guzma!

Irelia os good versus jayce from my experience. Jayce gets good in lane after a few levels because of his ridiculous EQ combo that deals a lot of damage + disengages the fight, making the harass essentially free. While there is a small timing (around levels 4-5 as far as I know) where Jayce is stronger, after that timing is over Irelia can Q to Jayce after his combo is done and outtrade him. You have to know what you are doing, but I've been smashed by some good Irelias with Jayce and consider the match up advantageous for her.

^
Yeah. The one who starts the fight loses, because if she Qs you after you E her then she will outtrade you, but if she Qs on you, you can combo her away, winning the trade. You have to abuse your ranged form. I'd still say Irelia has the advantage.

Yep. Eventually the lane kind of sits in a standstill without jungler interference.. Jayce can use ranged poke, but Irelia can ignore them because Irelia has sustain. Whoever initiates loses.

0K I didn't build enough MR so now that he's got max E he does utterly stupid and retarded damage to me any time I can't kill him because of his jungler. 20% max health on such a shot cd is so retarded.

Also, minion pathing real OP against ranged champs. Damn.

i like janna. she seems like a such a good character when played correctly, especially in mid-game/late-game. i tend to play semi-aggressive too.

i do hate blitz though. it annoys me when he's on the other team and he misses a grab and the adc or support just stands there instead of harassing like crazy.
and then when i want to play adc i usually want to play vayne and vayne/blitz sucks but everyone wants to play blitz because he's a noob magnet.

also if we're talking about the skillshot bug, there's so many grabs that have graphically missed but still connected and pulled me.

I remember firing lux ult at an MF but completely missed it, I hit it way below her, animation didn't hit her but she took full damage and died lol.

i just never use a skillshot unless my target is stunned. Too risky otherwise. 100% success rate.
