Blitzcrank: Is he worth the IP?

[quote=React]Is Blitz worth the IP, I am looking at him and really want to try him. So is he worth his 6.3k IP price?[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]If you're great at landing grabs, he's extremely good. Lots of disabling and the ability to basically lock a ranged carry as well as silence mages. Tanky DPS Blitz is very underrated and very strong - but you HAVE to be good at that grab.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]We has thread on dis :o[/quote]

[quote=React]We has??? OT: Well, I am a good spear shot with Nidalee, its the same basic concept with Blitzcrank; correct?[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong][quote=React] We has??? OT: Well, I am a good spear shot with Nidalee, its the same basic concept with Blitzcrank; correct? [/quote] Not really because you have to consider that the grab comes from the right hand and travels at a different pace.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime][quote=React] Is Blitz worth the IP, I am looking at him and really want to try him. So is he worth his 6.3k IP price? [/quote] Yes. He's fantastic. And in 3v3 I think he's the best champ in the game . (Hate on it mundo/tryn fans.) His Grab interrupts, his pop up interrupts, his ult silences... If you don't use his ult, and sit in a fight, it quickly becomes a massive amount of damage. His passive makes him deceptively tanky, and his mobility is above average because of skill. All in all, easily worth 6.3k. Good dmg survivability and 3 CC's in one champ. Wow. A trick to using his grab well, is to use it less. Long range grabs are just hard to land. I tend to save grabs for sure thing grabs, when someone is running into a pathway and there's only one spot to go, if you're in range, lead the shot and it's a sure thing unless they flash. The grab is great at catching people as they run away from you as well, not just the common "Initiator" skill so many people think it is. Don't forget also, it can be used to interrupt channeled skills like malz and nunu, WW, etc. People won't always expect an intelligent use of yank like that.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I have a blitz build listed in my guide as well in case you're wondering how I use him. It works very well.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Honestly, you don't even need to be that good at grabs if you build him well. Although it's the difference between being decent with Blitz and rolling games with Blitz.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn][quote=B-Wong] We has thread on dis :o [/quote] I justified not closing this because it's not about "Who should I buy next" but rather "Is this champion good right now".[/quote]

[quote=Lazukin]Blitzcrank is the only character that I've never lost a game with. (Premade. I don't play him Solo Queue) And I've played over 40 games with him. So yes, he's good, and VERY fun too. Early game, you go mid in the bushes with a teammate like Alistar, Poppy, or Vayne, while your main mid lures a bit. Make sure your bush-buddy (yes, that's what I call them XD) gets their push ability first. You pull them into your bush-buddy, they push them back into mid, and everyone just murders them. Easy first blood, almost without fail. (Singed works as a bush-buddy too, but can be hard to place)[/quote]
