Picked this up during the Lancer event last year and after around 90 games, I can confidently say this skin changes how Blitzcrank feels entirely. The whole medieval mech aesthetic hits different when you're landing hooks in ranked, and compared to other Blitzcrank skins like iBlitzcrank or Definitely Not, Paragon actually makes the champion feel premium.
The Q animation feels way cleaner than base skin, with the lance-hook having better visibility in teamfights. Your W sprint looks insane with the blue energy trails, making it easier to track your speed boost duration. But the real difference is the E knockup, which has this satisfying metallic clang that just feels more responsive than the default bonk sound. During a baron fight yesterday, I managed to flash E their fed Jinx because the animation was so clear I could time it perfectly. The ult's shockwave effect spreads outward with these blue lightning bolts that make the AOE super obvious for both you and enemies.
Is Lancer Paragon Blitzcrank worth it? Absolutely, especially if you main the champion. The 1350 RP price point feels justified when you compare it to something like Piltover Customs which costs the same but lacks the visual clarity upgrades. This isn't pay-to-win exactly, but the cleaner animations definitely help with mechanical precision. My experience with Lancer Paragon Blitzcrank has been nothing but positive, though I'll admit the recall animation where he powers down is a bit long if you're trying to base quickly.
For anyone who plays Blitz regularly, this skin makes the champ feel less clunky overall. The Lancer line just works perfectly with his kit, and you'll probably find yourself landing more hooks simply because everything flows better.
