Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-4 Blitzcrank holds lane hostage: his Q Rocket Grab can pull your ADC out of position for an instant kill, and there's no level where the threat goes away. Stand behind your minion wave, body-block the hook with your own tankier frame, and never let your carry be the closest target — a single grab loses the lane.
