Hello, I'm Ameliorate and I'm a Blitzcrank and Alistar player I've hit masters since season 7. What I excel in league is applying game winning map movements from having a high amount of game sense. Sharing my game-winning knowledge is what I'd like to share with my viewers. So if you're looking to learn more advance marco movements check out my twitch and youtube guides.


The reason why I'm playing blitzcrank?

It's because of the displacement from blitzcrank's hook as it is the strongest form of CC. As well as Blitzcrank thrives in the chaos of solo queue, where one kill can decide if a teamfight is won or loss.

The reason why I always go augment is to space out my CC and to be able to get as many autos as possible because of the augment slow and to get most value out of my ultimate passive ticking on them and to get full duration of my W on-hit attack passive to maximize my dps to the fullest.

Zeke's shouldn't be brought with Steel Shoulderguards because of the ap scaling ratios from zekes, and I don't build it because I normally get the Steel Shoulderguards as it has AD ratios. I believe frozen heart over this item is better overall consistently, as frozen heart will make you significantly more tanker immediately. Shurela's activation isn't needed if you just max w 2nd. And you do not need to make your team charge forward if you can land your hook. Meaning the item is useful if you can't land the hook.

Summary -

Shurela's just a Krutch for Blitzcrank who can't land their hook so they can just run at them and press [E].

I'm looking into this item, will share my findings after my research is complete.

So what I found out is this item passive doesn't work on augment/guardian/font of life/aery and doesn't even work on item actives either from information I've found. (I personnally tested augment and font of life and it did not proc Shurelya's Battlesong movement speed passive)

Pros

Strong pick against enchanters

Thrives in solo que chaos with the clown fighting

Capable of getting picks with his hook meaning objectives can be easily taken

Simply having the Blitzcrank hook up gives massive pressure in lane and when teamfighting

You help kill dragons early fairly quickly, and you help push towers both from your [W]attack speed boost and from auto-reset from [E]

Cons

Shouldn't Hook Melees that can threaten your backline if you can't kill them, because your hook will become a free dash for enemy champions like Zac, etc.

Missing important hooks feels really bad as they can decide if you win or lose.
