Today on the PBE for the 12.19 cycle the following Blitzcrank changes have appeared:
Stats
- base attack speed: 0.625 --> 0.65
- attack speed ratio: 0.625 --> 0.7
W - Overdrive
- attack speed: 30%-62% --> 40%-92%
- mana cost: 75 --> 85
- New Effect: "during this time, attacks deal 1% target max health as on-hit magic damage"
- "deals an additional 60-180 (based on champion level, linear) magic damage to non-champions"
E - Power Fist
- mana cost: 25 --> 40
- damage: now also scales with +25% AP as physical damage
- now deals an additional +150% tAD +125% AP as physical damage to non-champions (to be confirmed)
R - Ststic Field
- maximum stacks per target at a time: 3 --> uncapped (to be confirmed)
- passive damage AP scaling: 30% at all ranks --> 30% / 40% / 50%
These changes suspiciously seem to aim at offrole Blitzcrank such as in top lane or in the jungle. Blitzcrank built as a damage dealer has seen some activity in the past, but I don't know of many people who play him this way as of right now. What are your thoughts?
Special thanks to u/FrankTheBoxMonster for extracting these PBE changes again. You can find the non-Blitzcrank ones on Spideraxe's twitter.
