How to beat Blitzcrank as Milio: the early game

You are behind levels 1-6. Blitzcrank's Q (Rocket Grab) one-shots the lane's tempo: a single pull on your immobile ADC chains into W-E-R for a kill, and Milio has no dash or hard CC to contest the pick. Your R heal and cleanse can't undo a displacement, so you must play permanently behind minions and body-block hook lines with your own champion. One grab on your carry ends the exchange before any of your tools matter, so stand in the hook line yourself. Keep the campfire behind your own minions, hold the kick for the moment he steps forward, and shield preemptively rather than reacting after the pull has landed.
