Blitzcrank
Champions that beat Blitzcrank
- Alistarsupport
After a successful Rocket Grab (Q), Alistar can Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) the pulled ADC out of the chain crowd control. The pull does not commit the kill, so the 16-20s Q cooldown becomes a punish window with Unbreakable Will (R) up.
- Ivernsupport
Rocket Grab (Q) requires Blitzcrank to walk forward into Rootcaller (Q) range — Ivern's root from Brushmaker (W) brush plus ADC dash punishes the cast windup. Power Fist (E) knockup cannot reach the carry once Triggerseed (E) shield procs the dash window.
- Lucianbot
Relentless Pursuit (E) dodges Rocket Grab (Q) reactively because the projectile is slow and visible. Lucian walks the lane bush and forces Blitzcrank to mispredict E direction; Lightslinger (P) double-shots stack The Culling (R) charges before Power Fist (E) knock-up lands.
- Maokaisupport
Twisted Advance (W) is a point-and-click root that beats Rocket Grab (Q) projectile race outright. Sapling Toss (E) bush vision denies fog hooks, and Nature's Grasp (R) global root locks Blitzcrank during Overdrive (W) chase windows.
- Morganasupport
Black Shield (E) is the single hardest counter to a hook — it eats Rocket Grab (Q) entirely. Missed Q windows leave 16-20s of free aggression for Dark Binding (Q) plus Soul Shackles (R) chain crowd control to punish Blitzcrank.
- Rellsupport
Shattering Strike (Q) point-and-click damage plus Ferromancy Crash Down (W) knock-up break the hook race and punish missed Rocket Grab (Q) windows. Full Tilt (E) tether plus Magnet Storm (R) chain-CC the team during Static Field (R) cooldown.
- Renata Glascsupport
Bailout W on the ADC means Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab Q charge-pull no longer kills the carry — they return to full HP after the burst. Handshake Q out-ranges the Rocket Grab recast, throwing Blitzcrank back into his own team mid-engage,
- Seraphinesupport
Rocket Grab (Q) is a 1100-range skill-shot with a long animation telegraph and a 22s cooldown pre-items. Surround Sound (W) at 800 range covers the ADC before the hook lands — the shield eats the pull damage and the speed pulls the ADC out before Power Fist (E) chains.
- Sivirbot
Rocket Grab (Q) is a 1100-range hook that is Blitzcrank's entire engage tool. Spell Shield (E) blocks the hook on prediction, denies the Power Fist (E) follow-up knock-up, and refunds Sivir mana plus the passive Fleet of Foot speed burst on the dodge.
- Taricsupport
Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab Q is a single-projectile hook on a long cooldown that commits his entire engage. Bastion W shield on the ADC eats the Power Fist E follow-up auto, Starlight's Touch Q heals the pull displacement damage,
- Threshsupport
Death Sentence (Q) reaches 1100 range with a faster cast animation. If Thresh hooks first, the Blitzcrank Rocket Grab (Q) animation gets interrupted, and Flay (E) plus The Box (R) chain crowd control through any missed Q window.
- Xayahbot
Featherstorm (R) makes Xayah untargetable mid-cast, so Blitzcrank Rocket Grab (Q) phases through her if she presses R before the projectile connects. She keeps farming behind dropped Feathers and Bladecaller (E) roots him through Power Fist (E) knock-up follow-up window.
- Ziggsbot
Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab Q is a slow-projectile hook with a long cast time. Ziggs' Satchel Charge W self-knockback knocks him backward out of the hook landing zone — even if the hook connects. Hexplosive Minefield E zones the Power Fist E follow-up engage.
Champions Blitzcrank beats
- Bardsupport
Rocket Grab (Q) reaches 1150 range — beyond Cosmic Binding (Q). Bard has no dash after a hook lands, and Power Fist (E) plus Static Field (R) chains a silence-stun combo that forces the lane to play 1v2 for 30 seconds.
- Braumsupport
Rocket Grab (Q) at 1150 range pulls Braum out of Stand Behind Me (W) jump range to his ADC. While Braum is being chunked at the back, Power Fist (E) plus Static Field (R) silences his recovery and his now-unprotected carry dies.
- Caitlynbot
Rocket Grab (Q) reaches further than Caitlyn auto range. One hook lands her behind their tower with 90 Caliber Net (E) on cooldown and zero Yordle Snap Trap (W) value, and Power Fist (E) knockup chains the kill.
- Elisesupport
Rocket Grab (Q) at ~1100 outdistances Cocoon (E) at 1075, so Blitzcrank engages first. Power Fist (E) knockup chains lockdown on Elise in Spider Form, and Static Field (R) silence cancels Rappel (E) escape window.
- Galiosupport
Rocket Grab (Q) landing on Galio mid-Shield of Durand (W) cancels the entire engage; he is a big target with no built-in dodge tool. A hook into Power Fist (E) knockup chain removes both Hero's Entrance (R) and Justice Punch (E) from the fight.
- Kalistabot
Rocket Grab (Q) hooks Kalista's support — the Soulbound link is irrelevant once the engage happens 1100 units away from her hop window. Power Fist (E) knockup and Static Field (R) silence punish any Fate's Call (R) save attempt, while Overdrive (W) keeps pace with hop spacing.
- Karmasupport
Rocket Grab (Q) hook line reaches 1100 units — Karma has no dash to dodge once committed. Power Fist (E) knockup chains before Focused Resolve (W) root applies, and Static Field (R) silence prevents Mantra-Q cast during the engage window.
- Kog'Mawbot
Kog'Maw has no dash, no blink, no escape on Void Ooze (E) — one Rocket Grab (Q) in lane equals one death. Power Fist (E) knockup chains the hook into Static Field (R) silence, locking Kog out of Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) and Living Artillery (R) entirely.
- Lulusupport
Rocket Grab (Q) landed pre-6 deletes Lulu's AD carry before Wild Growth (R) comes online to knock the engager off. Lulu has no escape ability and no hard crowd control at level 1, and Power Fist (E) knock-up follows the grab to chain into Static Field (R) execute.
- Luxmid
Lux casts Light Binding (Q) and Lucent Singularity (E) standing still from far back. Rocket Grab (Q) max-range on the cast frame pulls her past her Prismatic Barrier (W) shield before Final Spark (R) lines up.
- Miliosupport
Milio has no gap-closer and no instant CC — Rocket Grab (Q) landed pre-6 deletes the ADC before Breath of Life (R) is online. Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q) is too slow to interrupt the cast and Power Fist (E) knock-up chains into Static Field (R) execute through Warm Hugs (E) shield.
- Namisupport
Nami has no dash and a fragile body — Rocket Grab (Q) landed pre-6 deletes her or the ADC before Tidal Wave (R) is online. Blitzcrank's hook range out-distances Aqua Prison (Q) windup and Power Fist (E) knock-up chains into Static Field (R) silence execute.
- Neekosupport
Rocket Grab (Q) outranges Tangle-Barbs (E) by 100+ units and pulls Neeko out of Shapesplitter (W) clone bluff. Power Fist (E) knock-up cancels Pop Blossom (R) channel and Static Field (R) silence punishes Blooming Burst (Q) cast frames on her 550 base HP support build.
- Pantheonsupport
Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab fires from ~925 units, outranging Shield Vault's 600 dash. Pantheon gets hooked and pulled out of Aegis Assault frontal cover into Power Fist knock-up follow-up.
- Rakansupport
Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab Q fires from ~925 units, out-ranging Rakan's Grand Entrance at 600 units. Any face-check loses Rakan; once hooked Power Fist knock-up chains into Static Field passive silence, breaking The Quickness charm setup.
- Sennasupport
Rocket Grab (Q) is a 1100-range hook that pulls Senna behind enemy lines, and Power Fist (E) knock-up chains for a guaranteed Static Field (R) silence-burst. Curse of the Black Mist (E) camouflage does not break a hook that was already mid-flight.
- Smolderbot
Smolder's only escape is Flap, Flap, Flap (E) which is a 16-24 second offensive tool, not a real defensive dash. A landed Rocket Grab (Q) converts to a kill before E is even up, and Power Fist (E) knock-up chains the suppression burst before Dragon Practice stacks.
- Sonasupport
Sona has no dash and 530 base HP at level 1 — Rocket Grab (Q) lands once and either Sona or her AD carry dies before Crescendo (R) is online. Power Fist (E) knock-up chains for a guaranteed Static Field (R) silence-burst before Aria of Perseverance (W) can cast.
- Sorakasupport
Soraka has 535 HP at level 1 and no dash — Rocket Grab (Q) lands once and deletes her or the AD carry instantly. Starcall (Q) does not interrupt the hook channel and Astral Infusion (W) cannot save someone already dead before Power Fist (E) knock-up chains.
- Teemosupport
Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab Q hook at 1050 range out-ranges Blinding Dart Q and Power Fist E knock-up follow-up stuns Teemo for the kill chain. Mana Barrier passive shield eats Toxic Shot E poison ticks, Overdrive W speed steroid catches him mid Move Quick W,
- Veigarsupport
Rocket Grab (Q) is a 1100-range projectile that pulls Veigar out of his own Event Horizon (E) before the cage stuns. He has no dash, no shield until Banshee's Veil completion. One hook equals Dark Matter (W) plus Power Fist (E) plus auto execute under tower kill.
- Vel'Kozsupport
Blitzcrank Rocket Grab (Q) 925 range pulls Vel'Koz out of position before he can dodge, and chains into Power Fist (E) knock-up plus Static Field (R) silence burst for a guaranteed kill. Mana Barrier passive shields him against retaliation Q poke during the lane phase.
- Xerathsupport
Xerath stands still to channel Arcanopulse (Q) and Rite of the Arcane (R). A max-range Rocket Grab (Q) on the channel frame yanks him out of position before Shocking Orb (E) stun can land in return.
- Yuumisupport
Rocket Grab Q hits the AD carry, not Yuumi — and once the carry is dead, Attached Yuumi auto-detaches and dies one Q later. You and Me! W cannot save the partner from a hook landed from fog of war, and Power Fist E knock-up chains the kill setup.
- Zacsupport
Rocket Grab Q is a 1100-range hook that lands on Zac mid-charge because Elastic Slingshot E wind-up roots him in place — easy target for the grab line. Power Fist E knock-up chains the punish, and Static Field R silence locks Zac out of R follow-up.
- Zeribot
Once Rocket Grab Q connects, Zeri's Spark Surge E cooldown is too long to escape — she gets pulled and dies before E comes back up. Power Fist E knock-up chains the punish, and Static Field R silence locks Zeri out of Lightning Crash R follow-up.
- Zileansupport
Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab Q one-shots Zilean's positioning, pulling him from outside Time Bomb Q range. Power Fist E knock-up chains the punish, and Static Field R silence locks Zilean out of Rewind W and Chronoshift R during the kill setup window.
- Zyrasupport
Zyra has no dash and stands still planting Rampant Growth (W) seeds and Deadly Spines (Q) lines. Rocket Grab (Q) hooks her at 1150 range before Grasping Roots (E) root sets up Stranglethorns (R) plant burst.
