[GAMEPLAY] QoL/Bug for Leblanc

I love Leblanc, there's no doubt about it. I play her a LOT. So straight to the point! Bug report. It's existed for quite some time now, and since Leblanc's chains are the only skill-shot ability in the game to tether once it hits, it's not surprising that this bug exists. It's not the most common problem for sure, but creates frustration and confusion in some heated mechanics matchups (Zed vs Leblanc, etc.), but also happens with Flash. I don't know if this is intended. I sure hope not.

Bug: When Leblanc uses Ethereal Chains, a target can use a blink to position themselves within the line of fire of Ethereal Chains and dodge it as the chain passes right through their character. It happens because the tether is initiated by the edge of the skill-shot when it travels. This makes sense for regular skill-shots that are small projectiles, but makes no sense for Leblanc's chain, which seems to exist along its path of fire until it misses at the end of its range.

For example: Leblanc is 900 units away and uses Ethereal Chains on another Leblanc. The tip of the chain is at 300 units. Enemy Leblanc is at 800 units. As the chain just travels past 300 units, and is at 350 units, the enemy Leblanc blinks using distortion or flash toward the chain and in doing so positions herself at 300 units from Leblanc. The body of Ethereal Chains overlaps the character that used the blink (in this case, Leblanc) and continues to travel to the end of its range until it is completely apparent that it misses.

Recreate steps.

  1. Select Leblanc.
  2. Level up Ethereal Chains.
  3. Send Ethereal Chains straight toward another enemy Champion that is about to flash or blink INTO Ethereal Chain's line of fire.
  4. Ethereal Chains passes straight through their body.

Again, this is more common and confusing in skill matchups between Leblanc and a champion with multiple blinks (pointing at you Zed). I've had rare scenarios where Zed just so happens to blink back into the chain's line of fire EXACTLY at the moment the edge of the chain passes him, which leads to something that looks like Ethereal Chains passing straight through Zed's body.

Suggestions

  1. Make Ethereal Chains' missile speed instantaneous (makes no sense, but a possibility).
  2. Make Ethereal Chains connect with any target that passes through its (relatively short-lived) travel/air time in its line of fire.

No screenshot or video was included because it's relatively easy to reproduce. Two champions on Summoner's Rift walk toward mid, one is Leblanc. Leblanc levels chain and uses it and enemy champion flashes at the same time into line of fire. If a screenshot or video is highly preferred, I'll be happy to provide such.

Thanks Riot! Best Regards, Cardi
