Blitzcrank Support guide

Blitzcrank support is built around one pull: Rocket Grab (Q) fires his hand to grab an opponent in its path and drag them back to him, Power Fist (E) then charges his next attack to double its damage and pop that target into the air, and Static Field (R) marks and damages anyone he attacks while its active removes nearby enemies' shields, damages them, and silences them briefly.

The build

Rune page: Glacial Augment, Hextech Flashtraption, Biscuit Delivery, and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration), with Celerity and Nimbus Cloak (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Rocket Grab (Q) at level one, takes Power Fist (E) at level two, then maxes Rocket Grab (Q) first with Power Fist (E) second. Starter: two Health Potions, into Boots of Swiftness. Core build: Locket of the Iron Solari, Zeke's Convergence, Bandlepipes, with Celestial Opposition, Solstice Sleigh, and Frozen Heart as later options.
