How Blitzcrank performs against enemy support laners
Recommended items by enemy team composition
BlitzcrankSupport average
102030
102030
102030
Build percentage damage — flat penetration falls off against the stats it stacks
Track the roam — it is strongest where the enemy jungler already is
Punish the cooldown — Blitzcrank is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 4/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Blitzcrank gains a shield based on their mana when dropping to low health.

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Blitzcrank in 2 patches. The latest is patch 25.22, published 2025-11-04.
EPower Fist
Blitzcrank has been underperforming so we want to add some more pep to this steam golem’s step with some better sustained disruption and damage to get him rolling again.
PMana Barrier
QRocket Grab
Blitzcrank is sad, with lower winrate, pickrate, and banrate than we would expect. We're buffing up his hook damage to make it a bit easier to actually kill targets that you land the grab on, and giving him a bit more durability on his passive to make buying mana more attractive and to give him a bit easier of a time committing for big plays.
Riot's data lists 19 looks for Blitzcrank with their own art, the base skin included and 57 chroma variants.

Riot Data Dragon 16.20.1. Growth curve: League of Legends Wiki — Champion statistic.
Blitzcrank, the Great Steam Golem, is a Tank and Support champion in League of Legends. Riot rates the kit 4/10 for difficulty, 4/10 for attack, 8/10 for defense and 5/10 for magic. Blitzcrank spends Mana and has 19 skins with their own art. Blitzcrank's attack speed per level of 1.13% is the 9th-lowest of 173 champions on patch 26.20.
Blitzcrank is an enormous, near-indestructible automaton from Zaun, originally built to dispose of hazardous waste. However, he found this primary purpose too restricting, and modified his own form to better serve the fragile people of the Sump. Blitzcrank selflessly uses his strength and durability to protect others, extending a helpful metal fist or burst of energy to subdue any troublemakers.
