Blitzcrank Tips and Tricks

Holding off from using your Q until the enemy has used a dash or their movement ability will make landing your Q easier. In team fights, avoid hooking the enemy tank if possible. Try to hook a squishy champion or carry instead, and especially avoid pulling in someone who can engage or has crowd control like Amumu. Know your matchups. When laning against champions who can engage, like Alistar, Leona, or Nautilus, never try to hook them, as it will make it easier for them to get onto your ADC. Instead, aim to hook the enemy ADC.

Situational Blitzcrank Runes and Items

Depending on your game context, matchup, and enemy champions, you may want to adjust your items or runes. Carefully consider your team composition, the enemy team, and the game state when planning your Blitzcrank build. For example, if facing an opponent with high Magic damage, you may want to consider Magic Resist in your rune shards, or take Armor if you need more resistance against physical damage.
