How to play Blitzcrank in Patch 26.20, built from ranked games: power spikes, the lane plan, how leads convert, and the habits that separate Blitzcrank wins from losses.
Blitzcrank Power Spikes (Patch 26.20)
TopWhen Blitzcrank Top gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Blitzcrank wins most.
- Lv 3All three basic abilities at level 3Blitzcrank's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
- Lv 6Ultimate rank 1 at level 6The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Blitzcrank hits it.
- Lv 11Ultimate rank 2 at level 11Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Blitzcrank can start or win.
- Lv 16Ultimate rank 3 at level 16Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Blitzcrank can start or win.
Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.
Blitzcrank Mid and Late Game
What Blitzcrank does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Blitzcrank brings crowd control (percentile 91): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
- Blitzcrank out-wards most champions (percentile 89): keep owning vision around the next objective.
- Blitzcrank wins 69.0 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.
Mistakes to avoid
- Blitzcrank falls behind in CS (6/100): last-hit the waves you can, items still matter.
- Blitzcrank is not a damage carry (8/100): don't take fights expecting Blitzcrank to win them alone.
Playing Blitzcrank
- The 1-2-3 combo of Rocket Grab, Power Fist, and Static Field can devastate an individual opponent.
- Using Blitzcrank's grab to pull an enemy into your tower range followed by a Power Fist will allow the tower to get several hits on them.
Playing Against Blitzcrank
- Blitzcrank's passive Mana Barrier grants him a shield when he is low on health.
- Staying behind creeps can prevent you from being Rocket Grabbed. Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab only pulls the first enemy target it encounters.
