Brand

Extreme

Brand has extreme range and braindead-easy skillshots that do massive amounts of damage. Since this build takes away most of your defense, you'll be melted by Brand if you don't play safe.

Jhin

Ideal

Jhin has a lot of utility. His traps and ult slow and his W can root. You can use this to your advange by using your Q right after. Alternatively, Jhin can use his CC right after yours.

Disclaimer

This build isn't supposed to be optimal, just funny. Don't take it seriously if you're actually trying to maximize Blitzcrank's potential in the support role.

Introduction

Imagine blissfully walking around with no care in the world. Out of nowhere, you get hooked and get caught in an electric explosion. The next thing you know, you're dead.
Welcome to the Blitzcrank Special, a build that will make your adc and enemies mald. Your hook and ult combo will one-shot, and your ult will be available almost instantly late game. If you don't instantly kill your target, your knock-up will buy your teammates enough time to finish them off. Although you won't be tanky anymore and will probably be victim to being one-shot yourself, Blitzcrank was always meant for picks anyways.
