Definitely Not Blitzcrank

Borrowed my buddy's account last week to help him climb out of silver and honestly couldn't stop playing with Definitely Not Blitzcrank. After about 40 games spamming this skin, I'm seriously considering buying it on my main account even though I already own iBlitzcrank and Lancer Rogue.

The hook animation feels way smoother than base Blitzcrank and the hitbox seems clearer when you're trying to thread it through minions. Your Q actually looks like a normal human arm reaching out which throws people off compared to the obvious robot hook everyone's used to dodging. The W speed boost has this goofy running animation that's actually harder to track in teamfights, and I swear the E knockup feels more responsive. During a baron fight yesterday, their fed Kai'Sa completely missed my engage timing because she was expecting the typical Blitzcrank windup animations but this skin just pops off differently.

Compared to other Blitzcrank skins like iBlitzcrank, this one's purely cosmetic but the psychological diff is real. Enemy laners get tilted by the ridiculous appearance and probably underestimate you more. The recall where he takes off the costume is absolutely worth seeing every time you back. At 975 RP it's not breaking the bank and you're getting solid value if you play Blitz regularly.

Is Definitely Not Blitzcrank worth it? For support mains who want something fun without sacrificing clarity, absolutely. My experience with Definitely Not Blitzcrank convinced me it's one of his better skins even if it doesn't have the prestige of Lancer Rogue. Gonna grab it next time my shop refreshes because playing without it now feels wrong.
