At least with thresh there's one second to react and avoid, or if he throws himself on you he can be punished pretty hard for it, on blitzcrank's case all he has to do is wait and throw a Q, if it doesn't land he can wait a bit, if it lands it completely puts the enemy out of position and makes it incredible hard to turn around. If the adc has any form of stun then its GG.
The cooldown on Blitzcrank's hook is already high. The mana cost were too high after they nerfed it. Using his hook in the early stages of the game cost half your mana. You have to realize that Blitzcrank is a high risk high reward champion. You aren't able to snowball lanes as hard as you used to, but Blitz can be shut down with hard engage like Leona. If he lands a hook, then you were probably already out of position if you weren't able to engage on Blitz in the first place.
I like the Cho'Gath changes. I used to like playing him jungle but with all these new champions with gap closers, his skills are easily dodged.
Gonna hate seeing Kha'Zix going away soon.. from mid to top to jungle. I'm guessing we're going to see him as a support soon.
I'm glad Soraka's Q is getting nerfed because with the MR debuff + Q spam, you just get destroyed with her sustained damage. She still will be powerful because her W adds a ton of armor to the healed person, and no more free harass with her E.
These buffs help him at least compete with other supports. Missing a hook can take a lot of pressure off the lane.
