I think Blitzcrank's power is his scaling. It's hard to imagine, for example, Leona casting a single spell that changes the game the way Blitzcrank can by hooking a carry at a crucial moment. I think only a Flash-Tibbers is on the same level as far as support spells go.
What fun is it being cool if you can’t wear a sombrero?

Inb4 starting the "dshield versus gold-item" discussion!

If you do not start with doran's shield at the moment, as support, you're doing it wrong. After the nerfs, the hp5 will change a lot of that, but for now just go with it.

He doesn't even need to land hooks. He just has to position to be able to land hooks, that by itself makes a lane won.

Yeah unless you're Leona/Thresh/Ali/Taric and you dance in front of him while shouting "HOOK ME BITCH, I DARE YA"


If you blind-pick blitzcrank, you're doing it wrong.



I feel like starting with coin as a Ez/Janna vs Graves/Leona is a better option, simply because they can only engage on me if I'm bad.

Did the mechanics of q'ing leona e change? Doesn't seem to stop it anymore, or at least not as easily.

They havent been changed.You probably use it while she is casting e not while she is jumping.

that's burst potential, not scaling
leona can jump in and start a fight and be pretty tanky enough that she's a problem constantly, blitzcrank is just something to watch for hooks before fights and once the fight begins he's only average.

Does anyone feel Gragas is super ridiculous? Whenever hes on the enemy team hes a serious problem and when hes on my team he usually carries. I've never seen Gragas lose a lane ever. Sure they might be down cs but they never get constantly killed by their opposing mid. Hes too strong id more bannable than Kass now. Im always happy when I see him on my team and cry when Im facing him. I hope this nerf makes him unplayable but I doubt it

There's just way too many champions to ban right now. I've never detested so many champions at one time in my 2 years playing league. Gragas, Kayle, Kayle Kayle, Kayle, Yasuo, Kass, Kayle, Kha'zix, Mundo, Elise, Kayle, Nasus, shit even Ziggs.

Basically if you're a squishy and a Barrel Roll hits you you're dead to his follow-up, Ziggs has no threat like that.

Gragas W is honestly an insane spell. It's out-of-this-world powerful. No cost, triggers his passive, tons of free mana, and obviously constant uptime on 18% damage reduction and 70!! free AD.

Ziggs isn't OP, he is just able to make use of the two most OP caster items at the same time.

I agree Gragas is an incredibly strong mid right now. Ziggs is too but he is a bit more counterable. I honestly don't know what counters Gragas, he is beefy enough to withstand assassins and has enough range to trade with poke champs. The only real downside of Gragas is fail ults.

On the topic of Blitz I still ban him regularly out of fear, but maybe I should stop doing that because I rarely see him picked up anymore if he goes un-banned.
I got nothin'...

Gragas is also unlike Kass where you can shut him down early to make things hard....he cannot get shut down....no1 beats him he will always be relevant in the game and batshit strong...unlike with Kass if you destroy in lane it can take a little while for him to be strong
