| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | At level 1 Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab threat pins your ADC and out-values your poke. |
| Level 2 | Blitzcrank | At level 2 one hook on your carry ends the trade before your kit matters. |
| Level 3 | Blitzcrank | Through level 3 his Q pick threat keeps your ADC zoned off the wave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Blitzcrank | In levels 4-5 his Q-E-R burst can delete a squishy faster than you peel. |
| Level 6 | Blitzcrank | At 6 his hook still dictates the lane even though Devour can answer it. |
| First item | Blitzcrank | With his first item a single landed grab still snowballs past your peel. |
| Two+ items | Tahm Kench | Late, your health pool and Devour make his one hook harmless, flipping the matchup to you. |
Blitzcrank dominates the early lane through fear alone: one Rocket Grab on your ADC wins the trade outright, and your Q-Passive poke can't match that pick threat. Your job at level 1-2 is to stand in the grab lane and soak the hook with your health pool, keeping your carry glued behind you so his Q has no target worth taking.
