Playing as Blitzcrank

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Grab from a clear angle

    Fire Rocket Grab (Q) from a brush or a side angle: it grabs the first enemy hit, so you need a line without minions.

  2. Power Fist right after the grab

    After a successful grab, cast Power Fist (E) right away: your next auto knocks the target into the air and deals double damage.

  3. Sometimes engage without a grab

    Sometimes engage without a grab: rush in with Overdrive (W), knock your target into the air with Power Fist (E), and save Rocket Grab (Q) for when they Flash away.

  4. Bait with your shield

    Use Mana Barrier (passive) to bait: at low health you get a shield based on your mana, enough to make a kill look easy.

  5. Save your grab for their carry

    In teamfights, save Rocket Grab (Q) for their carry and wait for them out of vision: grabbing them before the fight starts often decides it.

Playing against Soraka

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her star

    Dodge Starcall (Q): if it hits a champion, Soraka heals and speeds up, and can pass that heal on to an ally.

  2. Leave her Equinox fast

    Get out of Equinox (E) fast: you're silenced inside, and rooted if you're still there when the zone disappears.

  3. Focus her, not the healed ally

    If you can reach her, focus Soraka rather than the ally she heals: she has no dash, and each Astral Infusion (W) costs her health.

  4. Finish in a single burst

    Finish your targets in a single burst: Wish (R) heals them wherever they are, and more below 40% health.
