Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

As a support, you should always start with Locket Enchant to protect your ADC for early game teamfights. This Locket can help your team throughout the game. (Please note that due to the recent patch, a team is only advisable to have 1 player purchase a Locket). After building your Locket Enchant, look to purchase Iceborn Gauntlet immediately. The armor and slow from this item will help you last in team fights as well as help your team mates with its slow. Zeke's Convergence synergizes well with your ultimate and your allies. Dead Man's Plate also synergizes well with Blitzcrank because you will always be mobile throughout the map. Protector's Vow for added protection for your team and Warmog's Armor to let you go in and out of skirmishes with immediate sustain.

Other situational items are self-explanatory and is adjusted depending on the current meta.

Blitzcrank

Summary

Blitzcrank is really good against Support Enchanters (except Lulu), but is really bad against tank supports, such as Alistar and Malphite. Always look for initations for your team relies heavily on your hooks. You can dictate the result of a team fight depending on your initations on pick-offs and team fights in general. Another tip is when your team is taking objectives, always position yourself between the enemy jungler about to steal a drake or Baron to immobilize him or her.
