Blitzcrank

Blitz's early lane is all-or-nothing hooks from brush. Hide in tri-bush level 1, wait for the enemy to step up for first wave — Q-hook + E (Power Fist) + AA = guaranteed first blood.

If the first hook misses, back off and reset to brush. Your Q has a 22s CD at rank 1 — you're useless during it. Don't lane in open — always brush-camp.

Level 6 + Mobility Boots is your roam spike. R (Static Field) silences in a 600 radius + zaps nearby enemies. Use it to interrupt channels (Katarina R, Fiddlesticks ult, Karthus R).

Look for mid/jungle picks via Q from fog. Use Mobility Boots out-of-combat speed to flank from river brushes.

Frontline pick-off support. Stay 1 screen behind your carry. Save Q + E for the enemy backline diving onto your ADC.

Your kit is single-target — you can't peel 2 divers. Use E (knock-up) as your panic peel. In organized teamfights, R-silence the enemy mage during their combo.

3+ hooks in lane → snowball → win mid game. Blitz scales worst of all supports — your kit gives no scaling. Win in the first 25 minutes or lose to late-game engage.

Win: 50%+ Q accuracy in lane + 2 successful roams to mid by 15min. Lose: 0/3 in hooks → enemy carry is now scary → you're useless.

Level 2 — Q + E unlocked, first all-in. Level 6 — R adds silence + AoE zap. Mobility Boots — roam tempo. Knight's Vow — ally tether for ADC peel. Locket — teamfight shield. Level 16 — R rank 3 = 1300+ AOE damage.

Combos:

• Q (hook) -> W (Overdrive self-buff) -> AA -> E (knock-up + AA reset) -> AA = burst combo with 2 AA resets
• Q + Flash mid-air (Flash AFTER Q is cast, BEFORE hook lands) to reposition
• R (silence) interrupts enemy mage's full combo channel

Anti-tips:

• Don't lane outside brush — Blitz's only engage is from fog
• Don't Q a Morgana with E (Black Shield) up — you waste 22s CD for nothing
• Don't all-in without Mana — Mana Barrier passive needs full mana to shield
