How to play Blitzcrank in ARAM Mayhem

Blitzcrank is a below-average pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier C, #151 of 173 champions, with a 46.3% win rate over 1,604,838 games.

Blitzcrank's damage is mixed (30% physical, 62% magic), which makes it awkward for the enemy team to itemize against. It soaks 49,277 damage per game and mitigates another 56,694, so it belongs at the front: start fights and absorb the poke your carries can't. With 58 seconds of crowd control per game it is one of the team's main sources of lockdown.

Most Blitzcrank players go Tank (43% of games), but the AP path, ability power items, is ARAMKit's top-ranked build: Malignance, Rabadon's Deathcap and Shadowflame, with a 45.5% win rate. On this build 47% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Blitzcrank are Infinite Recursion, Final Form and Mad Scientist. Cards built around ability haste fill most of the top of its list, followed by movement speed. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Pursuit of Power and Mighty Shield when you can: they do worst on Blitzcrank. A pair to look for: Overflow with Surge Field.

Take Flash and Mark (89% of players). Max Q (Rocket Grab) first, then E, then W. Players who max Q first instead win a little more often, so it is worth trying.
