The greatest champions out of lane to counter Blitzcrank include Zeri, Kai'Sa, and Ziggs. These champs are all great at countering Blitzcrank with win rates over 57%. Even if these Blitzcrank counter picks are not picked opposite your position, it's not smart to take him into one of these matchups. They will very likely crush Blitzcrank.
Yet, if the enemy team brings either Swain or Lillia, Blitzcrank mains should seriously consider selecting him, as he easily destroys these champions with win rates over 55% against each ofthem.
Dodge Blitzcrank's Q ability (Rocket Grab): This is arguably one of his most powerful abilities, able to determine the outcome of an engagement if it lands correctly. Stay vigilant, maintain your positioning and aim to avoid it to reduce his efficacy.
Exploit his Vulnerable Phase: When Blitzcrank's Q is on cooldown, he has limited lane pressure and is more susceptible to attacks, presenting a prime opportunity to strike.
Manage Your Mana: Similar to his Q cooldown, Blitzcrank becomes less of a threat when he's low on mana as he won't be able to execute his basic combo. Hence, ensure to conserve your mana to use it strategically against him.
Beware of the Level 2 Power Spike: Blitzcrank's threat level increases significantly when he reaches level 2, able to hook enemies with his Q and knock them up with his E for early kills. Maintain a safe distance and try not to engage with him early on.
Beware of his Roaming Potential: Blitzcrank has a high capability to roam around the map and assist his allies. Look out for him disappearing from his lane and communicate his absence to your team.
Late Game Precautions: In the late game, Blitzcrank becomes more immobile yet tanky. Avoid letting him soak up damage by focusing on squishier targets and beware of his strong pick potential with his Q ability.
Stick Together: Blitzcrank's strength is in isolating targets. Stick with your team, especially in late game, as a well-coordinated team can mitigate a lot of Blitzcrank's initiating power.
