Vision deficit: Struggling in both the matchup and vision control (0.94 vs 1.07 wards/min) demands defensive warding and heavy jungle coordination. Damage doesn't equal wins: Blitzcrank outputs more damage (326 vs 276/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Rakan: leads in both matchup win rate (51.2%) and KDA (2.80 vs 2.40, 14th vs 30th place). Blitzcrank players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.
