Stop Banning Blitzcrank

seriously guys. you're wasting a precious ban you can spend on a champion that ACTUALLY HAS POTENTIAL TO WRECK YOU. its just a blitz. chill. just two months ago no one cared about blitz. why are you now banning him in every match? he didn't get buffed. its the same old blitz.

U are totally retarded.... I see u didn't watch AZ against something eu with bliz support. Mass spam wards in the jungle to get 100% vision. Clear other teams wards. and when u try to clear BLiz's wards, he grabs u, even if u are with a team.
Although bliz didnt get buffs, new team strategies evolving around bliz grab are created. thats y ppl ban him.
Don't just focus on the champ alone... Lol is a team game

[quote=gkdmstjr]ok well i guess blitz ban is somewhat justified. however, dat TF ban, wtf?[/quote]

The TF/Shen ban is situational. They're both good because of their map presence. They can split push, take a tower, and then teleport into a team fight.

[quote=Zulucker]@gkdmstjr Well, early game blitz pulls you to turret then E you, that's like 3 shots and will probably leave you at crit HP or die, late game you get pulled to enemy team it's instant death, unless you're Tryndamere.[/quote]
Trynd still dies like that. Just pop ignite at the last second possible and his ult is useless.

[quote=iHiryuu]I ban him because of the *Blitz Effect.
If someone on your team picks Blitz they never get pulls when they're needed
But if a dude on the enemy team plays him...HOOKCITY, you can't even lane @ bot x.x

It may be bad luck...but yeah.[/quote]

by that logic, i'd rather ban teemo.

Watch the best blitzcrank 3 on youtube for your answer. In it Blitz lures the enemy team into grab range, pulls them into HIS turret, and letting a character with their stun stun them with turret attack action for a quick first blood.

IDK Alistar and blitz are almost necessary because they are such trolly supports if used even remotely correctly.

[quote=gkdmstjr]obviously you would first ward the ganking bushes. then you've got the 60 second cooldown clairvoyance. then you've got the mias. its all common sense on locating enemy champions.[/quote]

Alright, you have vision of him. Now what? You think Blitzcrank can't zone you, can't outrun you and better position himself, can't flash->pull your carry, etc.?
If bot has an advantage at any point in the laning phase, Blitz can exploit it x100, and he doesn't even have to overextend to do this if the carry has enough burst ie. Graves.

[quote=LOLfwappz]@gkdmstjr: Well, lets not. And on the ward thing, theres around 30 bushes on the blue side. Wards cost 75 gold. 30*75 is 2250. Since they expire every 3 minutes and the average game is 30 minutes, thats 22500. And if they're smart, they'll get an oracle. So you're kinda screwed.[/quote]

[quote=blablablapie]So the whole reason of this thread was so that you could play blitzcrank?[/quote]

hey.... shhh

[quote=GreatRomantic]@threadstarter, once Blitz grabs ---> Q-E-R --- then that's basically all he can do in a team fight. HOWEVER, if Blitz pulls a squishy champ on the enemy team, then GG for Blitz's team. They will win the team fight.

If he pulls the AD carry, it's over for the enemy team.
Or if he pulls an isolated enemy, then it's over, also.
These scenarios are obviously only possible if Blitz has one or more members around him to help.[/quote]

But I do agree with you, the players should have banned other champs, like:

1. Ban Twitch
2. Ban Eve
3. Ban Wukong
4. Ban Teemo
5. Ban Rengar
6. Ban Kha'Zix
7. Ban Shaco
8. Ban Irelia

You should always ban all eight of these in any ranked/draft game.

And you're telling me how to play against a champion whos getting banned liek cray cray?[/quote]

im not telling you specifically. I'm just annoyed that a champion who didnt receive a buff in ages is suddenly getting perma-banned. it just goes to show how dumb people can be.

just let me play my main in ranked again

[quote=LOLfwappz]@gkdmstjr: Does every team losing against a team with Blitz always thing of buying wards?

And its 1300[/quote]

LOL i didnt expect a real answer. but its common sense to buy wards ALL THE TIME. thats why wriggler's lantern/janna/sona exist in the game. this holds especially true against a blitzcrank.

key fact: any champion is OP versus retards.

[quote=gkdmstjr]so many ways to counter this.

-let your amumu/ali/rammus or whatever get grabbed.
-use CCs like stun to your advantage. like leona's ult.
-its a skillshot. dodge it.

blitz never got buffed in the past two months. so whats up with all these recent bans.[/quote]
