Which Support Is Best Against Blitzcrank?

If your enemy picks Blitzcrank then you must pick a tank support champion against him. Tanky support champions are less squishy compared to Mage supports. An even better option would be to pick tank supports with crowd-control abilities. These champions reduce Blitzcrank’s early game pressure.

Things To Consider When Playing Against Blitzcrank

  • The most important and first tip is to stay behind minions to avoid Blitzcrank’s Q. It pulls you toward him and allows him to perform his knock-up combo.
  • Once Blitzcrank misses his Q (hook/grab), take advantage of the situation to harass both him and his ADC.
  • Picking a tanky/CC support (e.g. Taric, Leona, Thresh) does well against a Blitzcrank.
  • Beware of Blitz even when there are minions in front of you His ult has the potential to clear the wave and he can then follow up with his grab.
