Averages measured over 804 Support games played with Blitzcrank, from our ranked Solo/Duo data collection.
Blitzcrank is a support-tank who wins by making picks: Rocket Grab catches an enemy and pulls them in, then Power Fist doubles the damage of his next attack and knocks the target up. His passive gives him a shield at low health based on his mana, Overdrive boosts his attack and movement speed, and his ultimate damages and silences.

Overdrive greatly boosts your attack and movement speed but slows you at the end: only use it if the chase is decisive.
