ATTENTION

Hi all!:) This is my Very First Guide! And i'm still working on it!:) This isn't the full Guide!:)!

PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT!:) IT WOULD REALLY MAKE ME HAPPY!:)

Introduction

---

I think its looks like bit strange for some people, to see a Jungler Blitzcrank build! But i think, the common Blitzcrank players will like this one too!:) Because who plays Blitzcrank know, that he is a very flexible champion! Its one of the best Supporters, and very nice AD champions too! But if you want to try something awesome with Blitzcrank, here you go! Lets Try this Jungler Blitzcrank build!

Who is Blitzcrank

Blitzcrank is one of the rarest champion. Why? Because he has a very, very wide usage, and he can do every form, what just you need! You want to build him AD? You can! You want to build him a Supporter? You can! You want to build him Jungler? You can! And you want to build him hybrid? Of course you can!

---

Thats why i really really love Blitzcrank. And he has got a really awesome laugh as well! And for those huge pros, you don't have to pay him 6300, nor 4800. Just 3150!

And here you go, lets try my build! If you are interested, please read more, and more! And for a little cheer up, i embeded a little video below!:)

Runes

---

This Rune Sequence is just some tips to get start your Journey to experience Jungler BC! If u play a lot of matches with him, you could find an alternative Sequence what is better for your usage.

If you have some questions, why i choose this runes, i'll tell you one by one.

For Marks i get Greater Mark of Desolation. Because, if you want to get the most out of your Attack speed bonus and the double AD bonus from your Power Fist, the best choose is the armor penetration, thats why i get Greater Mark of Desolation runes, and even a The Brutalizer.

For Seals i get Greater Seal of Armor because the armor is very, and trust me, very important for stay on the lanes much more longer. Because all of the Jungle monsters are damaging use by Psychical damage, and if you will gank a lot, you may get damage from the minions and of course the enemy champions. Thats why i choose armor Seals.

For Glyphs i get Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist because the most of your ganks, actually this isn't a rule, but i like to gank mid, so the most of your ganks will be on the mid lanes, where are usually plays AP champions, and its gonna be good if you will have some protection against them.

Masteries

---

Again i want to tell you, you can choose from a lot of mastery variations, from the most tanky one to the highest DPS variation.

My Masteries are very Jungle Friendly.

SURVIVABILITY

---

SPACE

SP

I included some survivability masteries. You will have more Armor by, Hardiness . And increased Magic resist by Resistance , i explained the importance of these at the Runes section. And of course a very little bonus HP Durability . But one of the most important is the Tough Skin because, you will get less damage from the monsters, and from the minions too! What is really good because when you gank some lane, you may tank a full minion wave, because you chase your opponent.

PSYCHICAL POWER

---

SPACE

SPThis is very important for my guide, because i placed my power to Armor Penetration, and this is what is very powerful at this section Weapon Expertise . Of course, you will have bonus attack speed, Fury , and a bit of AD by Brute Force . But the main aim of this mastery section is the Armor penetration. You can build this kind of masteries too, to reach the flat armor penetration, Sunder , and of course the % ones too trough Weapon Expertise .

Jungle route!

So, lets start this post, there are 4 option to start a jungle route!


You can start at Ancient Golem immediately, this is good, if you haven't got much Health Potion, Hunter's Machete, or just simply you aren't using tanky runes or masteries. But you want to gank right after you reach lvl 2.

You can start at Grez the Lizard Lord , then a fast gank! This is a very dangerous one with Blitzcrank, but if you have the right team, you can have the first blood very fast! This is recommended when you want the [colo=#ff0000]Red buff[/color] but you aren't tanky, or have the tanky items! (just like when you do the fast blue buff run, just you with this you will have slow and bonus true damage, but less mana regeneration!)


You can start at wolf s, then go to the Ancient Golem , this is good if you started with Cloth Armor and a bunch of Health Potion, because when you kill the Ancient golem , you will have enough Health Potions, to stay, and help your mates for a longer period of time!


This is the same when you start with Grez the lizard lord , just it's a better choice when you are tanky or have the tanky items, such as Hunter's Machete and Health Potions. So kill the wraith camp, and move to Grez the lizard lord . And after a simple gank!:)

If you want to bring the most out of yourself, you should get a Cloth Armor then Health Potion x5!

The first of all, you need someone to help you, by dpsing the Giant wolf , and pull the Ancient golem . Be aware of the invades! Ping to someone to watch your Grez the lizard lord , and defend you from the invaders.

After you successfully have your Blue Buff, you have to check what should you do!
If you want to be a good Jungler, after you have your Buff, you should take a look on your minimap, and see, is there any lane where the enemy is

pushing

! Or, is there any lane where the enemy is in a good position for your Rocket Grab! If your can't gank, you should go, and finish the Wraith s, and get the Red Buff, then if you can't really gank anywhere, then, after the red buff, check the enemy Ancient Golem , to know, when it will spawn again! Then you have to gank somewhere, i think you may be able to gank after you did these things. Gank minimum once before you go home!

Ganking

So about the ganking systems/mechanisms. There are several of them, for example when you gank mid, your opponent Annie, Cassiopeia haven't got anything for escape except Cassiopeias Noxious Blast, she gain a little movement speed but we will have more, and Annies Pyromania stun. So if you are against this kind of champions who haven't got any teleportation spells, like Kassadin etc. You can use the first version of ganking.

---

• Ask your mate who is in the middle lane, for the information of the enemy flash, is it on CD or not.
• You will activate your Overdrive in the bushes near the lane.
• You will gank when your opponent is pushing or at the middle of his lane.
• You will have a ton of movement speed by your Boots of Mobility, watch out for the minon aggro!
• Activate your Power Fist! this is important because when you activate it, and your opponent will see that, and your huge movement speed, he will panic, and want to escape, but you will be faster.
• If the enemy has got flash, wait until he use it. Chase him with your Power Fist try to hit him, if you are close enough, he will use his Flash.
• When he used his flash you can easily get him with your Rocket Grab and punch his face with your Power Fist its a free kill or at least you sent him home.
• If the enemy hasn't got Flash you don't have to chase him, just easily grab him with your Rocket Grab and punch him!

---

The second version of the ganking system is the same as the first one, but you have to use this version if you are ganking a Flashy champion, such as Kassadin or Ahri.

• Chase him with your Overdrive and Power Fist combination.
• He will use his kind of ultimate or anything depends on the enemy.
• When he " Flashed" away you can grab him with Rocket Grab.
• And here is the important part, when for example Kassadin tried to escape with Riftwalk, he cant use it again after your grab, so he will try to escape again with his flash, if he have.
• To counter his second escape mechanism, use your Static Field, what silences the enemy and he cant escape again for 1 sec. And you can punch him with Power Fist so you will have another little time to kill him!

Thanks to Trallie, for the reply about the missing ganking mechanism:)

Ranked Play and Farming

---

So first, i just want to tell you that, how is this Jungler Blitzcrank idea has created on my own. First of all, when i joined a solo que in ranked games, i watched Youtube... And when i realized that i was on a que that was too late, i was locked in by a ranked champion ( Blitzcrank) and with the wrong summoner spells! Smite and Ghost. So i had to that! And i was awesome! i was in 5-0-5 at the first 15mins. So i started to work on a normal build. And then, when i made it, i made that build right after!

---

So the first of all, you will be blamed at the first seconds, that you are a troll pick etc. So you will have to protect yourself, or join in duo ranked que! What is an alternate option!

What should you practice before you go ranked Blitzcrank?

• Your Rocket Grab has to be very, very accurate!
• Your warding tactic have to be on a high level!
• You must know where you should gank, and what lanes should you leave, and when!
• You can easily counter jungle the enemy by Rocket Grabing the monsters!
• You have to be a leader one! Guide your team mates, and tell your supporter to put wards, and where the enemy had put the wards, so she can deactivate them!!
• Ping when you see an enemy gank, or say ss when you saw where the enemy had left from his lane!

---

In the early game, you won't be very strong, to clean your jungle as fast as you need, because your build is a bit expensive, and you are very weak without the right gear!
Why am i saying this? Because you will have to build Wriggle's Lantern and Boots of Mobility at the early game, what ain't the strongest items in LoL. So thats why what we need? What we really, really need?

Trinity Force Oh yes we need this, and you know what we need too? The Brutalizer Aw yeah! We need this too! So, what we need to get these items? Oh yes, you know it!



So we know what we want! And we know what we need it to get what we want to win a ranked match! But how do we get it? And we need it fast! Can you remember what did i say before?

"In the early game, you won't be very strong, to clean your jungle as fast as you need"

. So we won't be able to farm fast! So we need a lot of ganks! And thats why i said before to be a

Leader!

Tell your enemy to don't push, and get counter wards, so you will can gank! And if we want to gank we need to be a master in Rocket Grab etc.!
