Tips Against Blitzcrank in Bottom Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
singed best adc says “Movement is key. Dont get hooked and everything will be fine.
Stay behind cs and don't forget to spam Emote + ctrl 4 if he misses his hooks!”
PH45 says “Just do your best to dodge his hook and you should be fine. If you however get hooked it might be the end of you if your summoners and ult is down.”
Vapora Dark says “The crank is either a god or a feeder, he excels at fighting champions without mobility and can force a positional mistake to be a death even as early as level 2. Stay behind your creeps at all times so he cant easily hook you, ask your support to play a lot more forward so that if he runs at you they can take the hit allowing you to deal damage to their the ADC or blitz himself. Play it safe and keep the bush he sits in lit up with wards and traps. Midgame, be wary of walking up to kill towers/harass people as his W + tier 2 boots if a lot of movement speed that most champions without a dash/blink cant deal with.”
IHaveNoName says “You got no gap-closers, so if you're behind, you've got to burn your flash. Stay behind minions and out of flash-range/his running speed(-range) with W”
Trieuloo says “One of the champions you should be banning as you want to be playing under tower csing, as well as also lowering your sphere of influence unless you get banshees veil.”
Bungo_T_Baggins says “Being immobile makes it really easy for Blitz to find angles on you when you're being pushed in. Blitz paired with a more powerful lane bully (most mages, Caitlyn, Ashe) can be very dangerous for Aphelios.”
EzVeryReal says “Blitz is kind of annoying but you can deal with him. He'll be holding ult or E for your ult so just keep that in mind. Otherwise, you should be okay, especially with an engage support.”
lenithebot says “Blitzcrank is very scary. Since usually if you get hooked you are just dead. Play behind minions and try to play safe and don't get out of position.”
nraxxr says “Blitzcrank is a very tough champion to play against for lower elo players who are of the mentality that if you get hooked you die. While that might be true in late game, in laning he isn't really that bad. He applies lots of pressure when stepping forward, but if you position minions in between you and him you should be fine. ”
KoZee says “Blitz is really hard to deal with, due to the fact that if he lands his hook you are most likely dead. You are also immobile, so it can be hard to get used to sidestepping it. However, once you manage to learn to sidestep it, he becomes a lot easier to deal with due to the fact of him being very weak while it's on its long cooldown.”
cakiens says “if you get hooked by this man then is all over for you. he has so much cc that you won't have time to q the enemy adc resulting in your death.”
JCgo22 says “Blitz is an extremely oppressive laner who relies heavily on hitting his Q. It can be downright impossible to lane into Blitz if you have give the enemy team tempo with early kills or they have frozen the lane. Try to avoid that and farm safely with your support by freezing the wave near your tower and only going in when Blitz has wasted his hook. You can also use the movement speed from your E to dodge and reposition away from Blitz Q.”
SparkyRocket says “(The bot players)
Sometimes the ally bots can bodyblock you or help the enemy bots by proc-ing their Grasp of undying and their secondary runes. Also the amount of CS you can lose to these things is a big pain.”
kingamazin says “Always play in your minion wave and respect his hook. If you ever get hooked in lane you are almost guaranteed to die, so try to make sure you always have a wave to hide behind. Do not trust in your own ability to dodge his hook as just one hook hitting you can lead to your death. If you feel uncomfortable playing against blitzcrank, I would recommend building Galeforce to dash away from his hook. Just remember, always hide behind your minions so he can't hook you.”
Trampedach says “If you dodge hook or stand behind your supp it's winning.
Keep in mind that he will break your R shield with his R and knock you up should you get too close. ”
Tifforma says “Depends really on the player. A good Blitz will make your lane hell. However your plants CAN block is hook, and thats good sign. He is pretty tanky, so focus the adc. DONT GET HOOKED. ”
TvojeMomJeGoiCam says “Depends if you are good in dodging skillshots. Stay behind minions and he will be usseles. If your support is not in the lane play very safe. ”
JackM says “ blitzcrank is either a god or a feeder, he excels at fighting champions without mobility and can force a positional mistake to be a death even as early as level 2. Stay behind your creeps at all times so he cant easily hook you, ask your support to play a lot more forward so that if he runs at you they can take the hit allowing you to deal damage to their the ADC or blitz himself. Play it safe and keep the bush he sits in lit up with wards and traps. Midgame, be wary of walking up to kill towers/harass people as his W + tier 2 boots if a lot of movement speed that most champions without a dash/blink cant deal with.”
Kasdor says “You got no gap-closers, so if you're behind, you've got to burn your flash. Stay behind minions and out of flash-range/his running speed(-range) with W. Ask your sup to ban it.”
Ineffabilem says “Stay behind minions, if you get caught in his Q, you will probably die. If you have a tanky support, make sure he is the one getting grabbed and damaged. After his combo, blitz doesnt do anything.”
EvoNinja7 says “Blitzcrank can be a pretty annoying problem for you. He's a hook champion, which means he can engage you from a distance. You can easily avoid this by hiding behind minions. The only problem is that he can run towards with his W and then grab you, so hold onto your flash. The only thing with blitzcrank is his Q, since after that he has his knock up and that's really it. He relies a lot on his ADC to do damage, so try to focus the enemy ADC.”
SkittleBtw says “Shouldn't really be an issue at all, just Tumble (Q) his hook (Q) if you're not confident in sidestepping it. Once his hook is down, he has no pressure in lane, ping your support to bop him on the head until he sits on the naughty step back at base.”
pandorelol says “Your Tumble cd = 2 seconds
Blitz hook = 20 seconds
Play behind your wave, if he runs at you, jungler might just be there. Dying to blitz is usually simple positionning mistakes.”
Dragonmysterieu says “This machup really depends on the blitz, but in most cases if you can't dodge an important hook you can rely on your ultimate to save you.”
MunixEclipse says “When fighting a hook champion, you need to use your clone well. Against Thresh or Nautilus you can use your clone to block the hook, but with blitz you need to use your clone for invis and ms to run from it.”
yers says “Access to high MS with his W and has a long, fast hook. You will want to play by minions or your support, and once you hit level 2 you can start scaring him off with a Q-E-STUN-AA combo.”
harris tegas says “this champ is so op, he will break your nerves because if he grab you all the time maybe you must do your E to go away or sometimes your flash”
GodMulti says “Convince your supp to ban blitz or to play morgana, becouse you will have struggles if you can't sidestep well. Keep in mind that he can stop your Ult with his own Ult.”
INS Phillo says “You have no dashes or spellshields, stand behind minions or get yourself a Morg ;)
His strength depends on the player and his movement, keep an eye of your minion wave and dont get catched by his chunky arm.”
nraxxr says “If you get hooked by a blitz who has full combo ready, kiss your life goodbye. Jhin has little to no way of recovering from a blitz combo. ”
Jovy says “Blitz is super annoying to deal with because 1) you're immobile (bar Flash), meaning hooks are deadly to you and 2) His Q, E and ult all interrupt your ult. He is squishy-ish though which is nice.”
pykeultimateguide says “A good Blitzcrank can hook you constantly, and his hook is somewhat close to the same cooldown as Seraphines W. I recommend banning Blitzcrank almost every game.”
Nekostn says “As long as you stay behind your minions, hook supports shouldn't be able to catch you out. If you can predict that you're going to get hooked, you can place a Crescendum Sentry directly in front of you, leaving it to get hooked instead of you. This method works for any hook ability except Leona.”
Camelorry says “Block his q. Be careful with his damage though, he might not be able to grab you but he will be able to knock you up and cancel your ult with his.”
xLightst says “Blitzcrank is another target that can be deadly as it can knock you up and silence you with his ultimate. Biggest counter to most hook/CC heroes are minions, they are your best friend.”
Spider Shaped says “Главная задача,не попалаться на q Бц,ибо эзреаль легкая цель,правда в основном после 6. Если вы попадаетесь под q Бц,нужно вовремя использовать e,что бы уклонится от способности”
EvoNinja7 says “Since you have really low mobility and he has decently high base AD, Blitz will absolutely annihilate you in the early game. Play really safe when laning against him since he synergises well with every ADC, which will result in your death almost 90% of the time.”
xIntangible says “All hooks are a problem, but mainly blitzcrank and thresh as blitz will silence you so you cant ult or e away from him and dodge his hook, he can confirm a kill on you and is very big problem early which is bad as kaisa just wants to scale till 3 items.”
Iroh_LFT says “Blitz is HARD to play against, if you are not managing the wave properly, but if you play it fine, it shouldn't be a problem to get into late game. DODGE Q'S GUYS”
CALSHARKY says “This depends on the support you have and if they can help zone blitz back. Entirely depends on whether or not you can sidestep his grabs. But the threat is major for this reason.”
Zoodyacc says “That's all up to you if you manage to survive or not. Avoid his Q's, don't get near him if that's possible since a silence from his R might be deadly sometimes.”
TwentyOneShadows says “Standing behind minions will be the best option here, blitzcrank literally denies you to do anything else than farming (anyway most of Blitzcrank players are pure trolls and they hardly ever hit their Q).”
kiranezio says “He is always a threat for all adc champions. Always stay behind minions. Try to ult after he uses his Q and dont go too close to him as he could knock you up.”
Tonybolt says “Can be annoying in the early game as his grab is almost a guaranteed kill, but if you manage to have a good lead he will be pretty much useless.”
LupinTheCat says “This is already your support half of the games, wdym this is a threat?
To counter blitz, go behind minions and think about his hook timers, usually back after 14 seconds of last hook, just on his behaviour you can see if he has it up”
Reddish Red says “Blitzcrank is unable to keep up to you and only has his E and Q in the early game to stop you from engaging on the support. The Q is a skillshot that is easy to dodge or to bait out before engagement. ”
Bebras19 says “You got no gap-closers, so if you're behind, you've got to burn your flash. Stay behind minions and out of flash-range/his running speed(-range) with W”
mrPERISH says “Blitzcrank Hook = Death. He also has 3 abilities that interrupt your ultimate so keep that in mind when fighting with him near. Ward your lane bushes and don't be afraid to Make It Rain on the bushes to be sure he's not there when you return to lane. ”
TetraJax says “You can win lanes against almost any champion, but Blitz can really give you a hard time. I recommend to ban him, or dodge his arm with E”
Eccentricks says “This guy is really damn scary if aren't careful. If you have a Morgana supp, you won't need to worry too much, but otherwise, position yourself flawlessly, because you have no escape besides flash.
Hook champs in general are pretty bad, but Blitz is the worst right now.”
go4sp33d says “His hook and high health due to his passive make him a threat to any squishy target like TF. However, if you can dodge his hooks and stay behind the minions, you can pokehim down using blue cards and yellow cards/Q combinations. ”
finalninja says “Can't deal with the incredible cc that this champ can dish out. He is also tanky and is hard to burst due to his passive. Avoid at all costs. If you match against a blitz, just play safe until lane phase is over, or wait for your jungler. Try not to go for Dark harvest procs, it can easily bait you. ”
PentasForDays says “I feel like Blitz is very bad for you bcs he can stomp you and stop your farming and fuck your lane up and hes even better with the hook range buff.”
PoroKamiSama says “Blitz is always scary to Sona with his insta hook and burst. I consider this a 'skill match up'. So as long as you wait for him to waste his hook and hide behind minions you should be fine. He is ranked highly more due to his potential to cause harm, but with some safe play you will thrive.”
Fruxo says “Just do your best to dodge his hook and you should be fine. If you however get hooked it might be the end of you if your summoners and ult is down. Don't get Grabbed !”
Barni1791 says “You can win lanes against almost any champion, but Blitz can really give you a hard time. I recommend to ban him, or dodge his arm with E/ Kai sa majdnem mindenki ellen tud nyerni, de Blitz tönkre tudja tenni a napját. Szerintem bannold, vagy E-vel kerüld ki a kezét!”
Ryl Storm says “Considering that Jhin's only defensive abilities are normally his summoner spells, champions like blitzcrank or leona that have lots of crowd control and opportunity creating for damage or kills are a big threat for Jhin. ”
Fruxo says “Just do your best to dodge his hook and you should be fine. If you however get hooked it might be the end of you if your summoners and ult is down. Don't get Grabbed !”
ELMallekZarzor says “Position behind minions to avoid getting hit by [Q] Grab.Huge roamer, so vision control is key to prevent him from snowballing early.Strong invade potential at lvl 1! Stay grouped.Q has a high CD and costs 100 mana. He can't use it too often! Bait it then trade.If he uses W, he actually slows down after 5 secs. So you can lock him down when chasing.His pick power loses value if your team groups up often--it's hard for him to grab a priority target if there are tanks in the front.He’s not very useful in fights where his team isn’t the one engaging. Try to fight on your own terms.
”
Righteous Maniac says “Kite him into oblivion. If you didn't know, always hold your E. Just before his grab hits you, e out and you'll cuck his Q while staying save and you can now punish him.”
Shake the Shade says “Be wary of hook. You have no mobility early outside of flash early on so a well placed hook will spell death. Also 4th shot can be diminished by his mana shield.”
Shacolada says “If you get hooked, you are most likely dead; even if you have flash, his knock-up can lock you down. Play safe around minions, and his long Q-cooldown time.”
BL00dY3nD says “It's easy for him to grab you cause he can see where you go while you farm with your Q. Just try to stay behind the minions and to sidestep his Q with your W.”
NMFO says “I'm terrified of a good bz. If you and him press q at the same time as each other, his hits you first. It's very difficult to get picks against a guy who does what you do but quicker. ”
Xerxes Is ADC says “stay behinds minions, not as deadly as thresh, but if blitz lands one pull and you end in up a really bad spot, try to live and flash over a wall to run away. ”
bardbot says “If he lands a hook and you're not near a wall, you're basically dead. Don't try to pick bard into this matchup, specially if the enemy adc has a strong early game.”
TruMediaMix1 says “Jinx has little means to counter Blitzcrank's mobility or dodge his hand. Always keep your lane minions in between him and you so you don't get hooked.”
purrpledrank says “Blitzcrank is all about abusing positioning, meaning you HAVE to be pretty consistent at axe placement or you get picked anytime he lands a grab. Try to play around his grab since it has such a long cooldown. ”
MrLewie says “With basically no warning, Blitzcrank can have you pulled to him and knock you in the air while his ADC auto attacks you. Without armor, Blitzcrank is nearly impossible to fight.”
RocketRogue says “Try to band someone with a lot of grabs or stuns like Blitzcrank or Leona because they will be a huge threat to jinx and most Adc's.”
TruMediaMix1 says “Blitzcrank can shut you down in the early game if you don't manage to dodge his hand! Play it safe if this guy's laning against you.”
Komrad says “Blitzcrank es un soporte muy subestimado al cual no es buena idea acercarse, pues tanto su [W] como su [Q] son habilidades que pueden dejarte muy mal parada”
Darkkin says “Desvie do Q dele e então use o seu E para retirar uma parte da velocidade de movimento dele alem do nerf que ele leva sempre que usar o W, aproveite a chance e avance em cima dele o maximo que você puder em 14 segundos.
---------------------------------------------------
Divert from his Q and then use your E to take some of his movement speed apart from the nerf he takes whenever he uses W, take the chance and advance over him as much as you can in 14 seconds.”
