Blitzcrank Build Guide by HanDrummer

Intro and Pros / Cons

Intro:
Welcome to my Blitzcrank guide, where you will be grabbing enemies like they are candy! The basis of this build is to pull the enemies in and burst them down, or to run into a team, tank most of the damage, and then disrupt people that need to stay still for their ultimate abilities like Miss Fortune's Bullet Time (R) (Ultimate), or Katarina's Death Lotus (R) (Ultimate)



Pros:
-Tanky
-Very easy to disrupt the enemy team
-Very strong in a 1v1 situation



Cons:
-No sustained damage
-All burst damage
-Fairly weak early game

Summoner Spells

My Spells:

Flash:
If you don't understand why we grab Flash, you should go play the game some more and get better at it. If you ever watch the pros play, almost all of them grab Flash for a reason. It's great in multiple situations. If you are getting chased, you can Flash over a wall to escape. Or if you are chasing and they Flash over the wall, you can Flash over it to chase them down. See why this skill is a must?


Ignite:
I grab Ignite because when I play Blitzcrank, I usually have to try chasing them down to pick up a kill. So to prevent this, I use Ignite to kill them while walking away. Now, there are other uses to it then just picking up those kills you wouldn't normally get. You can use Ignite to stop someone from rapidly restoring their health, like Dr. Mundo's Adrenaline Rush (Passive) or Sadism (R) (Ultimate), Garen's Perseverance (Passive), Volibear's Chosen of the Storm (Passive), or even standard Lifesteal. This is the Summoner Spell to replace, if you were to replace one Summoner Spell
