Boom Boom Blitzcrank Review

“Not the most expensive skin, but there’s bound to be a fan” is all that can be said about the Boom Boom Blitzcrank skin released on August 29, 2010. A skin from the category “Taken for change after buying an expensive skin” with its simple appearance can often surprise you. I won’t waste your time, just as this skin won’t waste much of your money. Let’s get to the review!

Lore

Blitzcrank is presented as a fierce boxer. His left fist is called “Boom” and his right fist is also called “Boom” and that’s all you need to know. An undefeated champion, he proves that robots can be just as agile and strong as humans. Splash art shows us Boom Boom Blitzcrank standing in the middle of the ruins, probably after an incredible boxing match. Behind you, you can see the propeller of the crashed plane, which in turn lies under the rubble of the ruined building. It’s scary to imagine what happened to the place! He stands in a victorious pose, with one foot on the head of his defeated opponent. Who would have doubted it!

Concept and Inspiration

 An automaton that can box is a very good concept. Imagine a robot that knows no fatigue and has reflexes unavailable to humans. On the other hand, the developers decided to make it a bit obsolete. Perhaps the world before the apocalypse had features of the steampunk world, which makes the concept even more interesting.

Design, Sound Effects and Animations

Riot Games created an interesting boxer skin, trying this role on a robot. Blitzcrank looks like a huge steel robot. It has powerful shoulders with shock absorbers attached to them for a powerful punch. He also wears red boxing gloves and blue briefs. Naturally, because Boom Boom Blitzcrank is primarily a boxer, and he fights by the rules. He also wears a gold championship belt, which looks very nice on Blitzkrank. Another interesting detail: Blitzkrank has a purple black eye. Someone still managed to land a good punch! The animation of the abilities, the particles, and the sounds are the same as the original image of the champion.

Unique Features

The exterior image of the Boom Boom Blitzcrank skin is done in a steampunk style with huge red boxing gloves.

Obtainability in 2023

The skin is available for purchase in the Riot store for 520 Riot Points, but do not rush to buy it for that price, as they often do discounts and it can be purchased for 240 Riot Points or even for a ridiculous 60 Riot Points if you’re lucky! You can also buy a copy of Boom Boom Blitzcrank and other skins at SmurfMania.com, which also cares about their customers and often offers discounts on their products.

Player Reviews

Skins priced between 60 and 520 Riot Points just can’t have opponents. Surprisingly, Boom Boom Blitzcrank has its own small fanbase among LoL players who watched the movie “Real Steal” and played for Blitzcrank, and this is what they write about this skin:

“I prefer it to be smaller so that I can hook someone from between minions.”

“His E should make a bell sound whenever you activate it.”

“This skin is… real steel ^^”

“Nice skin and now he is on sale ! “

“it’s better than legendary and from today is on sale”

“i get it from the mystery:D”

My review

I can’t believe it; I bought it for change along with an expensive skin. In general, it’s a very nice skin. Looking at these old guys, I immediately think of the old League of Legends in 2010–2012 and how everything was nicer and your humble servant was 12 years younger. Perhaps for all old-gamers, Boom Boom Blitzcrank acts exactly the same; you just have to check, and thankfully, the very low price allows you to do so without much trouble for the purse.

Conclusion and Rating

It is a great option for League of Legends veterans to remember the origins of League of Legends and for collectors to collect all the early skins in LoL before putting them in the Legacy Vault. I give the skin 5 points out of 10, where 2–3 points are my emotions about this skin, as there is nothing new except the appearance that Boom Boom Blitzcrank has.
