I made an account on here just to comment. I like your build, but I just don't see how you can eliminate manamune/archangel's staff out of your build? I personally build manamune because on 3's or 5's if I can get 1-2 kills early I've already built manamune and got 1 speed boots and am farming up my max mana with that like 10-12 minutes in. Just having one of those items in your core will improve your passive by a lot, and give you some mp5 to work with.... or you can even go archangel's to get the boost for your ap so you become dps blitztank if you prefer. I'm not trying to knock your guide, I'm just curious as to why you don't have one of those two items in your core/optional build. Thanks for making the guide though, I appreciate what you're doing for the community :D

This build does ZERO damage. Late game, champs with a defensive item know that they can kill you 1on 1. And soloing a lane with Blitzcrank? He's there to get carrys fed. Its not smart to rely completely on tower grabs. As a Blitzcrank player you should get fed on ASSISTS not kills. And Blitzcrank is perfectly viable in ranked. Just because he doesn't make one grab means he isn't fit for ranked. -1.

I just went 13/3 with this build and let my friend go 27/4. our team mates sucked too. I also took like 65000 damage more than any player including the other team who lost. good idea tweaked items a bit

Looks like a solid build but I think you should get Philosopher's Stone and Heart of Gold so you have greatly increased income of gold.

Very nice build, my games with this have been some of my best with Blitz!

Haha, okie dokie.

Your build is flawed! It could never survive against my build.

Thanks for all of the constructive criticism. It really helps.

@GoD Kenshin: You can always max that out first too. It just depends on who you're facing because a lot of the time, they'll harass you whenever you try to get into melee range. The hook closes the gap, and does damage in order to land your power fist on heavy harassers who can kite.

@reppinFTC: I could see armor seals working. Not so much Mp5 runes because I get a mana pot in the beginning and buy more along with health pots after I go back for the first time. I like your idea though, it adds more tankiness, especially for AD heavy teams.

@Blathian: What? Lol.

Nonsense! I say this blitzcrank is weak! D:< It could never beat My Cooldown Tank Blitzcrank!

It is interesting to see you max grab first, not many Blitzcrank's really do that. But hey, I guess it works. Also, I feel like your CDR yellows don't really help too much, and could be easily replaced to your benefit. Have you tried flat mp5/armor seals? Both of those options help out Blitz's early game by craaaazy amounts. Nice guide overall :)

With this build and tower hooking though you can score up a ton of early kills in a solo lane, that's probably the reason why he doesn't take powerfist first, mostly because you aren't teamfighting that early.

Nice Blitzcrank guide, but if you want to tank, id max powerfist first to knock the enemys up more often. Just my opinion :) Other than that rly awesome guide.
