So I decided to take a break for a while. Maybe too much good really is bad and I should dial it down.
I come back and started winning again, but in a way that makes me feel guilty.
Every game, I encounter either a 1. bad Adc who doesn't follow up with me unless I use my rocket grab. This is especially annoying because it makes me have to run back and forth between my lane and my base because it's a mana draining move early on. Or 2. An over powered opponent in a different lane. They constantly start ganking every lane and it pisses me off that my team had to feed the guy/gal like that. It's hard to get a good game in if nobody seems to actually try. It's really starting to bug me how it happens every game and it really limits me.
First: it's about time you realize blitzcrank is completely worthless/useless. Blitzcrank brings absolutely nothing to a lane, his entire kit relies on landing hooks which requires actual followup from your adc. When you pick blitzcrank, you more or less decide for your team that bot lane will be lost.
Second: To carry as support, you have to have lane pressure. If you can't pressure your lane opponents, you will not carry. The support I have the easiest time carrying with is nautilus, because he can exert a large amount of pressure on the opponents. If you manage to AA->E your opponent adc once in lane, they have lost the trade regardless of followup from your adc. That said, nautilus isn't the only option, he's just a very strong one.
I'm making that point to show you why blitzcrank is bad. With blitzcrank, your goal is to sit back and land a hook for your adc to do damage. Your win condition for the trade is a lot harder to accomplish, because you require 2 conditions. 1: Land your hook, and 2: Get adequate followup from adc. If both of those things don't happen, you will likely lose the trade at worst and go even at best. At your elo, if you can bully your opponents, they will shit their pants and feed. Guaranteed. You can't do that with blitzcrank.
