Who counters Blitzcrank and who Blitzcrank beats

Blitzcrank is terrifying right up until he misses, and missing is the whole problem. His entire kit hangs on Rocket Grab, a fairly slow, thin skillshot on a long cooldown, and if he whiffs it he is a slow, immobile body with no dash and nothing to threaten you for several seconds. He has no escape beyond Flash and Overdrive's speed, so the way to beat him is to dodge or bait the hook, body block it for your carry, and punish the long downtime before it comes back. Anything that out sustains his all in, peels the target he grabs, or simply soaks the hook on a beefy front line instead of a squishy backliner makes him miserable. When you pick Blitzcrank, you are betting you can land that grab from safety, so respect any lane that can stand behind a wall of minions and wait you out.
