Sharing some ideas about what could be LeBlanc's updated abilities
Hey, guys! I’m sharing here some ideas/thoughts about what could be LeBlanc’s updated abilities (that will happen any time in the future, I guess). There’s no need to take them so seriously, so just enjoy it, they’re my own little thoughts. If she seems overbuffed, we can nerf her later (hello, Zoe!).
The major concept that I ended up creating was to remove “Mimic” and creating a new play-style with her ultimate. Her basic skills (QWE) would help her trading in a 1x1, but when ulted, they’d be improved to help her in a big team fight (Ascension of the Black Rose). Even knowing that Mimic simplifies her kit, and it has been a single characteristic for her, I think that giving her more big and challenging choices would improve her gameplay.
Abilities:
Secrecy (P): each X seconds the next LB’s ability silences the enemy Champion for 1 second. This effect can happen in area.
Orb of Malice (Q): throws an orb that deals X magic damage to the enemy target and that after 1,5 second marks the enemy with Sigil of Malice for 4 seconds. Triggering the mark with any other LB spell cause +X of bonus magic damage.
Killing an enemy while triggering Sigil of Malice spreads it to nearby enemies.
Distortion (W): <there’s nothing new here, it’s the same W.> The damage is increased by 5% for each enemy hit in the target area (<helping her to have some clearwave?).
Ethereal Chain (E): throws a chain that binds LB to an enemy Champion, dealing X magic damage and slows the target in X% for 2 seconds while binded. If the chain triggers a Sigil of Malice, after 2 seconds the enemy is rooted for 1,5 second but receives no slow, and deals X magic damage..
Ascension of the Black Rose (R): LB gains improved abilities for 10 seconds.
RQ: Shattering Orb: throws an orb that bounces through all close enemies, dealing X magic damage to the first and then decreasing the damage by X% for the next targets (minimum X%). Throw it in a enemy marked with Sigil of Malice increases the bouncing damage in X%.
RW: Crescent Distortion: for X seconds LB can have up to 3 dashes (1 second of waiting between then), causing X magic damage at each dash. <I didn’t find a solid improvement for this ability. I tried to put some clones fantasy on it, but I still don’t know how it can be done>.
RE: Chains of Obedience: LB evokes chains in an area around her to root her enemies for 1,5 second.
RR: after using at least 1 ascended ability the player can end it early.
Thank you for reading!
