Blitzcrank is old and busted, but in the best way || Casual Champion Review 

Fun fact: the jungle monsters getting sent to the stratosphere when killed with blitz's e is intentional

I've never felt so much pain coming from the heart of someone as much as when I heard Nicky going "I HATE MORGANA, I HATE MORGANA, I HATE MORGANA"

Blitzcrank: Is a helpfull robot to help people. Also Blitzcrack: THE TIME OF MAN HAS COME TO AN END!

15:33 “Why does Blitzcrank self-slow? Does any other champion even do that?” *camera pans to Rell*

I think a fun skin for Blitzcrank would be a Rock’em Sock’em robot. And so you can have an opponent for him to fight, give another skin to fellow Zaunite big hand person, Vi. You can put them in the toy time skin line with Renekton. I just think this sounds fun

The knockup thing is actually a feature now lol, whenver you kill an unit with the E it flies up into the sky

The thing at 17:54 that launched the raptors high into the sky was actually in intended thing that Riot added in 12.20 where if Blitzcrank overkills a minion or monster they get sent flying.

8:27 Nicky: "uh oh" *cuts to him dead* lol love those edits

"the time of man has come to an end" should stay as his taunt if they do give him a voice over update, it's just so iconic and I love being reminded of the blitzcrank remix

I don't know how, but somehow watching these casual reviews while high is the best experience It's probably a mix of the questionable gameplay and the narration

The funny thing about Talon jungle is that all his jungle specific buffs got reverted, with the exception of being able to bleed camps now (still has an extra 5% dmg on W, but that's pretty negligible), and despite that, it's kind of become his main role depending on who you ask.

I LOVE Blitzcrank's colour story. The fact that it's in first person, so you really get to experience the world as they experience it, and that they see so much beauty everywhere. I'd love to see them become a main character if Arcane continues past season 2

Honestly, I love Blitz in the he/him demiboy space. Just love that he is playing with gender identity. It's a good little addition to their developing sense of sentience and identity

dude, i love playing critcrank in jungle using the boom boom blitzcrank, it is just hilarious

i find this cut very comedic 8:27

Been trying out Rell jungle, she does pretty good with the increased damage to jungle creatures. Also with her abilities scaling with AP if you do build AP you can do crazy damage. It’s great

Some of my favourite League memories from back in the day was doing a Thresh/Blitz botlane with friends. Good times.

Speaking of URF - can't wait for one year to talk about URF Machine Gun Nunu

In convergence, you can find a letter where Future Echo talks about the difference between his timeline and this one, and he mentions that 'King blitzcrank never rose to power here'

You mentioned it briefly about the Lee sin and Teemo delay but that also brings up the question. If Skarner is ALSO delayed until next year, does that mean we're getting 3 ASU's in one year? And If thats the case then what were they doing all of 2022? It makes no sense that they can somehow manage 3 at the same time in a year but Skarner took over a year for one champ just to delay it til next year...

17:54 when riot made blitzcrank viable in jgl they also added the interaction where jgl monsters killed by E have a chance to get launched into space

I am on your same boat about ASUs. If Teemo and Lee sin will take a year and a half, how much time will it take for champions with too many skins like MF? And I keep thinking about that line "2023 will be the year with the biggest budget for Riot". With all the delays and things being still broken, I believe it might was a big fat lie

You come here for the blitzcrank discussion. I came here for the best blitzcrank jungle gameplay

It wasn't a bug it was an intended feature they put in when they made blitz a jungler to emphasize the sillyness of the change

Wild rift did a wonderful job updating blitzcrank's design, and i wish he gets an ASU soon

29 champions before Nickyboi plays Ivern

Nicky's voice is more peaceful than podcast

16:30 Yes, only when you play those champs you become unhinged never anywhere else...

In the hispanic comunity we had a streamer who reach master only playing Blitz jg in the last season

URF Bounce House/Attack Speed Blitz Crank is my favorite, especially with Navori now. Back then you need 2 items to be online for Bounce House Blitzcrank. But now you only need Navori, and it's gonna be so fun, watching people try to build tencity items but knockups don't get reduced in duration.

The small monsters flying when you auto attack them with E was added when they decided to ramp up their damage vs monsters.

13:56 Holy, he just got cooked in the chat, goddamn

im so glad you got to blitz, dis is my fav champ ever, the funny robot one shotter

As a Blitz main i can tell you it's literally part of being a Blitz player of shutting your brain off i play with my friend in bot and when i hit godly grabs i call myself The Cranker

I wonder what relation Blitzcrank with Lewis the gator’s lore. Hope you explain in his champ review! :)

I so rarely see Blitz because they are my bot-lane permaban. As Bot Lane Swain or Support Swain, I either am guaranteed to die if I get hooked or completely unable to help my ADC if they get hooked.

I would love to hear Blitz's voice sound like Baymax's

They should make “Blitz Amorphous Crankbatant”. Make gooey Blitz and his arm stretches like Zac

Ults krugs Refuses to elaborate Leaves

before the midseason patch i use to like playing attack speed blitz jg

This video really speaks to me, a Morgana main

Nicky you're feeling better!

i love that spanish is a binarian language in pronouns terms because it makes it all the most easy, all masculine nouning is neutral and you have the femenine version to especify, but at least english is not german where they have three or four different kinds of nouning for almost everything

15:45 First time pick urf returned I also did nothing but Crit Crank. Actually it was back when Shojin was a thing. The knock up never ends.

8:24 is actually gold

I have an unfounded theory that Victor's Hexcore in Arcane will become Blitz's brain. No reason, I just think it'd be cool.

I don't understand why Teemo and Lee Sin are taking till next year to come out. Riot said that it takes them roughly 4 months to get an ASU done and put out and yet again, till next year for them? what's up with that. Blitz among others definitely need visual help.

Skarner also debuffs himself with his god awful passive, since it for some reason gives vision to his enemies??? Also many other champions really, in this game some champions get 200 buffs like yasuo with his infinite mobility near minions and his shield that blocks almost all projectiles, and his ANOTHER SHIELD ON HIS PASSIVE THAT BLOCKS ALL DAMAGE AND REFILLS SUPER FAST and then there are champions like old Viktor that had only 5 item slots and an useless rod, or Blitzkrank that slows themselves with their own ability

it s not about hitting hooks nicky. It's about the mets baybeee love the mets

About Bltiz self slow: Many many years ago (arround season 5~6) they had a high presence in ranked and pro. So, Riot decided to nerf them. Years later, Riot doesnt seem to realize how stupid it is a champion with a self slow in a game full of 2+ low cd dash champions

I'm pretty sure that the thing about Blitz model in game being just the same as League on WR happens with every single champion

If you're ever horrifically sick you should do a twitch review.

16:30 i have the same thing with nunu where i just go full caveman mode and int constantly :(

This is probably a hot take but I actually really like Blitz' walking animation. It's very distinct, expresses their goofy personality, and reflects their "remade from broken bot" story. The proportions are off, I'll agree there, but I think the animation itself is great.

I have done nothing but played urf critzcrank for three days -Nickyboi

I'm going to be sad when Riot removes every trace of old league with reworks and vgus

I've always known Blitz as he, hearing it otherwise just feels really wrong lol

he tryna exorcise morgana from the rift

removing toxic waste in lore and in game

15:39 Blitzcrank isntead the only one who debuffs themselves. Soraka also debuffs herself when healing others, its so dumb... No other heals loses their HP.

hey Nicky hope your having a good day get better soon!

I agree. Riot should halt new champion production fully and get ALL their old models up to date

Funny how he installed WR to see if they changed the in game model

Dude, they making those ASU hella long. What are priorities and resource management on those? One burrito per month?

i would not knew about the canceled skins, thanks i guess?

12:55 I never stopped playing Karthus mid?

Rell so forgettable Nicky forgot about her when mentioning the self-slow

2:02 - by this logic Blitzcrank would be 'it'.

AIM FOR THE BALLS CRANKY

investing at 3

I kinda like his voicelines. It's like he was made for war, but due to exposure to Hextech and some minor reprogramming, Blitz grew sentient, and developed a kind heart. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but ain't Blitzcrank just a part of mass produced robots?

YEAH! MY MAIN!! THE CRANK!

Since blitz is a robot, arent we supposed to use it instead of them?

Man, I wish Jungle Blitz was more viable

BRAZILLLLL MENTIONEDD LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Blitzcranks design is a crime, hes a sweet character and his gameplay seems good enough (although that hook of his is a bit immoral). I would argue that both the model and the design are wrong. First of all about the model, what I can only assume to be the remains of a limited technology, in game he is supposed to look metallic, more specifically brass coloured, not yellow. The model looks like something an above average IQ 7 year old made out of lego and threw in the trash and his actual design is not much better. For a "great steam golem" made to be useful in a steampunk fantasy setting he hits every wrong mark. He is too humanoid, yet not humanoid enough, he doesnt utilize any elegance yet he is not functional enough. Why is he spherical? You bother to round things off for the sake of looks or for the sake of aerodynamics, none of which works to Blitzcranks advantage. His big hands can be excused because he obviously needed them but I have yet to figure out the use of his tesla coil knuckles which steals a lot of attention away from the steam powered part. His head... is vaugely skull shaped which does take away from his otherwise whimsical appearance but again, why humanoid? His feet are actually very "early robotic technology" seeming and they seem relatively sturdy, well done Riot, you got his feet right. In my opinion he should either be a mobile industrial machine in which case he shouldnt appear so human looking, he could have grappling claws instead of hands and maybe more of them, obviously also a body that makes sense (anything but spherical really), maybe some visible gears or a moving axis, a visible furnace would be great. The other option would be to make him MORE humanoid but he could be confused for a heavily augmented average Zaun resident, and more humanoid implies the use of finer technology which suggests he might just become orianna 2.0. This would lean into the elegant part of the steampunk fantasy and maybe his past would have to be changed to some other kind of service that doesnt require the same kind of heavy work. With Camille and Orianna being robotified humans, maybe its time for a humanified robot. Alsotheycoulduseittosellsexyskins- Sorry, but ill take any excuse to upgrade this eyesore. Also there is nothing about him that says "Viktor was here", I mean its not neccesary but there is nothing Viktorish about him at all, a creator like Viktor would surely leave some kind of influence on Blitzcranks appearance even if he is not as egomaniacal as Jayce. I only started playing league after Arcane, I knew from before that there was an interesting universe behind it all and that the game was.......... unique, but Arcane reminded me about its existance so I read up on a bit of lore and played the game to get a better understanding of the characters. I was impressed with the setting in Arcane and I went looking for the most steampunk character I could find. With the neon signs and modern roughed up street wear visible in Arcane, you can tell that Zaun is more general punk than steampunk (and its a bit ironic that Piltover is the more steampunk part while zaun goes for the dystopian futuristic theme, probably because they always have to improvise, adapt and overcome) so I didnt get my hopes up too much, but I do discover "the great steam golem"... ... ... why? How could they do this? I tell myself I dont like him in game because his hook is very unfair compared to other hooks, but I just cannot stand his design. Blitzcrank makes me sad because automatons are supposed to be epic. They are supposed to be the peak of what steampunk fantasy can do and Blitzcrank misses the mark by a mile. Im not saying he has to be perfect, but he needs to be better. So I decided to main a steampunk looking, metal clad behemoth with a totally fair hook and passive from the region of... bilgewater. Tl;dr, Blitzcranks design is extraordinarily terrible. I hope he can become less humanoid or more humanoid, anything is better than his current looks. Edit: I really like your content and I didnt mean to seem so negative, if Blitzcrank had a sensible design I would probably never have picked up Nautilus, and he is very delightful. He is all spooky and pirate related and giant and old-timey-technology themed, and his lore is about betrayal and revenge that will never happen, very sad and very interesting. Also, big anchor go BONK. So thank you Blitzcrank for being the worst designed character in League of Legends.

I want him to play brand with the crystal rose skin because in that skin he looks like a bartender from ohio

why'd you have to inform me about the sewn chaos skins that were cancelled, they're so cute now i'm just sad. . .

The moment you upload the video, both Sunny and Snnuy started streaming, now I am crossed eyed by 3. Don't ask how

Can we get a version with the coughing and talking edited out?

God I love Nickrank

Jungle Rell is actually pretty good now

Riots flow of actually necessary content is painfully slow. I cannot believe champions like blitz, zilean, malph, cho exist in their current state while they still release 6+ skins every patch

to me i think blitzcrank looks like a skylander or something like that

thanks for the crank

Their ASU is taking so long like its a Full rework... cuz they were busy selling pretty human skins .. Riot should really hired artist specialized in non human designs.. or borrow some from LOR... they have a diverse characters and all we got was this nilah and k'sante which has boring kits..

Boom boom blitz supremacy

About minions being sent into stratosphere, it's a feature. Intentionally implemented to be exclusive for small units after last-hitting with E. It was there for about... 2 years I think?

Fun fact. Blitzcrank w gives more movement speed and attack speed than Master Yi's level 3 ult. Have fun

To me, Blitz is more of an it than a them. Being not a person and all. It’s a robot. Like my phone is an it

Riot cancels sewn chaos for not being “up to standards” yet they keep making night and dawnbringer skins…

le epic le blitz le crank

Guys, I think he hates Morgana but I'm not quite sure yet.

Hey nicky why don't you crank my blitz /j

i dont think anyone cares if you say he instead of them its just funny robot man in video game

I hate political correctness. Like bro, I get that you want to use they because Blitzcrank is a robot but there is a pronoun for that "it". BRO LIKE THE ENGLISH GRAMMER SAID "Let's make a pronoun so we can refer to things that are not human, such as dogs, insects and whatnot." BUT NOPE, WE HAVE TO USE THEY! IT MAKE A NO SENSE!

Wow as blitz main I hate wildrift and witchpot skin, Blitz is more killer robot who terrifies every enemy in range than a friendly robot. The witchpot W sounds Horrible, it's so bad compared to other skins w. Metal is harder than Flesh!

I don't know a single person who refers to Blitz as they them.

Rell debuffs herself

Is that a rell main?
