Favour timeline — the windows in Blitzcrank's game plan

Read from Blitzcrank's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Renata Glasc.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1BlitzcrankBlitzcrank: at level 1 her hook out-ranges Renata's poke and she has no dash to dodge it, so grab threat dictates the lane.
Level 2BlitzcrankBlitzcrank: level 2 Overdrive lets her close and confirm a grab; immobile Renata can't create distance.
Level 3BlitzcrankBlitzcrank: level 3 the W-into-E Power Fist combo chains CC Renata can't peel off a target already pulled to melee.
Levels 4-5BlitzcrankBlitzcrank: pre-6 every pick snowballs harder because Renata has no self-save and folds to being caught out.
Level 6BlitzcrankBlitzcrank: at 6 her Static Field silences and bursts before Renata can channel Hostile Takeover or W-revive.
First itemBlitzcrankBlitzcrank: through the mid-game her zone control keeps squishy Renata pinned back and punishes any step-up.
Two+ itemsRenata GlascRenata: at full build her R Hostile Takeover and W revive let her turn a teamfight even after Blitz lands a pick, and a whiffed Q leaves her useless while she swings the fight.

How to beat Renata Glasc as Blitzcrank: the early game

Blitz owns levels 1-2 outright: her Rocket Grab out-ranges Renata's Q poke and she has no mobility to dodge it, so she and her ADC must respect grab range and give up lane control. Renata can Loyalty-shield her ADC after a hook connects, but she cannot save herself, so aim the grab at Renata when she steps up to ward. Win the ward war by threatening the hook on anyone who walks into the river brush. Your reach beats her poke and she has no mobility to dodge the hook, so hold the brush and wait for the moment she steps forward. Keep your ADC behind the wave. Her tether is the only thing that punishes an approach, so make her spend it before you commit Overdrive.
