Really depends on the Blitzcrank, if they are good then one hook equals you and your adc dying, but if they suck then you don't need to pay him much mind. Be careful you don't detach when he uses ult post 6.
Bard
If Bard roams then the matchup is kinda free because he is letting you scale. You outscale him hard, but dont detach in front of your adc or behind relative to Bard in case he q's and gets a double stun.
Yuumi
Only person who outscales Yuumi is Yuumi.
Leona
This is my perma ban. If you detach from your adc to get passive proc, leona can stun you if she is good. This match up really depends on how good your adc knows to not get engaged on, max q second and just try and poke down the enemy adc.
Pyke
Pyke is a bit of a wild card, on one hand you can heal his ult and make it useless, but on the other hand, he can screw you up with one engage. Play this match up to scale, unless you have an early game champ like draven, then play for poke. I put 1 point in q level 3 and another level 4 because the extra poke is worth a bit more than healing. Go the early game rune page.
Soraka
You are better than Soraka in almost every way. Just make sure not to detach when she places silence and don't let your adc be poked out. Play with your adc, if they are playing kaisa, just farm, or if tehy are playing ashe, engage level 6.
Swain
I hate this match up so much. Only detach to proc passive if he already used his root, and if your adc is playing kaisa or a short ranged charcter, play to scale with someone else.
Annie
Just make sure not to get stunned. This is one of the few times it is fine to rush an item other than a mythic first item. Rush Mikael's Blessing, then mythic second. If your adc took cleanse, then you can just take your mythic as your first item.
Anivia
Play to scale, this can be either really hard or really easy depending on how good your adc is. This match up can be easy if your adc has proper spacing and doesn't get stunned post 6.
Cho'Gath
This guy is just the worst support to play against. He lands one knockup and you or your adc will die. Put points in q level 3 and 4, but still max e because the extra harass is your ticket to not dying.
Ashe
Dodge. Ashe perma slows adc with good poke, and post 6 she just r's you and adc and if they went even with you, then they will kill you.
Janna
Just don't try and proc passive during Janna R. This really depends on the adc, you should just play to scale though.
Morgana
Her roots are obnoxious, so is her R, but if you have a competent adc then you should be fine. Just in case, look for other lanes to scale with.
Karma
Heal the harass, and scale. This matchup only requires good mana usage, unless your adc doesn't know how to play.
Lulu
Polymorphs your adc and both of you can't do anything. Don't detach from adc till you see she doesn't have polymorph or R/no one is close enough to you for R to hit. Hope that your other lanes get fed.
Lux
Fuck Lux. Heal her harass, don't let adc get hit by root. Not really a hard match up to understand, but adcs have a tendency to get stunned by Lux so you can rush Mikael's Blessing if your adc is incompetent.
Nami
You beat her as long as you don't get knocked up or she pokes your adc down till one engage with bubble can kill them.
Malphite
He will harass with q and R when he gets the chance. Just build your build around letting your adc escape without dying.
Miss Fortune
It's like a worst version of the Ashe match up. Just don't engage without jungler and you should be alright.
Neeko
She R's and you die. Rush Mikael's Blessing and hope for the best.
Orianna
Same deal as Neeko, She R's and you die. Play around your fed laners, but don't rush Mikael's Blessing this time.
Rakan
Play to scale. A good Rakan will roam which makes the match up free, and a bad Rakan will stay in lane, do make sure not to be hit by his charm from R and knock up. He should not be able to 2v2 you and your adc if he stays in lane, unless you don't know how to heal your adc and let them be poked down.
Rell
Don't detach during her R, and your R can kinda cancel out her engage. If you can R while she is trying to engage then you can kite her out with adc.
Seraphine
Just don't be hit by root/R. Heal all her poke and playing to scale. If they somehow get fed, rush Mikael's Blessing.
Shaco
Just make sure to ward all blind spots in the lane, don't chase him into a bush, and get an oracle's lens after completing your first support quest.
Sona
Just heal the poke and try not to be engaged on. Wait for your jungle to gank and it's free.
Tahm Kench
Try and block his q for your adc by detaching and tanking it, proc your passive, then w back. Don't get hit by his knock up, and just playing around healing your adc.
Taric
Just don't engage. Play for farm and to scale.
Teemo
Whenever he goes in to harass your adc, proc passive so you can trade semi evenly. Buy oracle lens for your first back and make sure that you use it to mark his shrooms. You outscale him hard, and can make him useless late game.
Thresh
Really skill dependent on the Thresh's side. By that I mean if he knows how to match up goes he should roam, unless you play so bad he shouldn't. Don't detach immediately, after he lands his q, wait for his e, then detach to get passive. Overall tho you should win the match up.
Twitch
Twitch will kill you and your adc, roam, kill your mid laner, kill your top laner, and your jungle. Ping when you don't see him and warn the relevant lanes. You out scale him eventually, but it takes a while to get there.
Veigar
Heal your adc if they are being poked, and don't get stunned. If your adc has a high range like Catilyn then its free.
Vel'Koz
Just make sure to heal his poke pre 6, and don't let them engage post 6.
Xerath
If the Xerath is good then you should build Moonstone Renewer, and if the enemy team has plenty of cc and Xerath is getting ahead, then you can rush Mikael's Blessing.
Zyra
You can out sustain her until she gets ult. Make sure to position around her plants and try not to let her engage on your adc.
Really depends on the Blitzcrank, if they are good then one hook equals you and your adc dying, but if they suck then you don't need to pay him much mind. Be careful you don't detach when he uses ult post 6.
