Early game (levels 1–5)

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.
