Blitzcrank

A single ability has reshaped entire draft phases: Rocket Grab. Blitzcrank, a tank-support hybrid who mostly plays support and sometimes top, launches his fist across the map to yank one unfortunate enemy into his grasp, and the whole champion revolves around turning that single hook into a kill. Rated 8 for defense and 4 for difficulty, he is durable and straightforward in concept, yet the grab is a demanding skillshot that often decides whether he wins or loses a lane.

After a successful pull, the rest of the combo follows almost on its own. Power Fist empowers his next attack to hit for double damage and launch the target airborne, prolonging the crowd control long enough for allies to join in. Static Field tags enemies he strikes with delayed lightning damage, and its active silences nearby foes while removing their shields, which matters a great deal against teams that layer barriers to shield their carries from hooks and burst.

Overdrive boosts his Move and Attack Speed, allowing the lumbering golem to close the gap for a point-blank grab or flank through a side brush, though it leaves him slowed once it expires. Mana Barrier, his passive, turns mana into a shield when his health runs low, which makes him surprisingly difficult to finish off.

Blitzcrank suits players who enjoy creating pressure through big plays: every grab attempt can end a fight before it begins, and enemies have to shift their positioning around him. The flip side is just as all-or-nothing. If the hook misses, he is simply a melee tank with no way to engage until the cooldown ends.
