You might think Leblanc is Fine after the nerf but let me tell you this win rate dropped to oblivion. A High skill cap champion destroyed by one single nerf. The W Speed Nerf. Riot you think the W speed was used to Q,W and do 40% health and for mobility? You know Leblanc has to do good to be good in teamfight? Now she Cannot wave clear anymore because she will always get PUNISHED. She will be always PUNISHED there is not a single trade where she can be unpunished. She isn't tanky and she will get outsustain and pushed out of lane. Her teamfight is still good because if someone on her team can CC she can do damage but her 1 vs 1 laning just straight out died.

HER W is used to do many thing but they all start phase by phase. To get strong Leblanc needs Farm,CS, Kills. What helps her get all of those is her Mobility and Damage. Her core gameplay is to assassinate since she is a an assassin. An assassins is quick on their Toe and not Slow on their toe. Now that she cannot assassinate someone in a 1 vs 1 scenario this leaves her a Burst Mage. Much like veigar becomes team dependant. While Getting bullied out of lane because of the ability to not be able to farm. Here are the thing many Mid laner did to Leblanc when she tried to clear wave with her W. Ziggs : Leblanc W , Ziggs E while she was traveling and she end up getting hit by all the bombs of Ziggs leaving her to around 40% hp after. Ziggs E,Q,W,Q Completly punished Leblanc and she had no way to retaliate because she was a short range champion.

Zed : Leblanc W, Zed E,W,Q A full combo of ZEd EWQ left Leblanc to 50% hp. Not only that Zed is ressourceless.

Viktor : Leblanc W, Viktor E,Q,AA boom this hurt alot for Leblanc.

The thing is, when a champion land all their ability, it will hurt and alot.

Leblanc was able to land them with ease but not she will always get punished and will be afraid to bully anymore :<.

Good riddance. The cancer queen of midlane was due for some much needed nerfs.

Literally none of her damage was touched. You actually have to put some thought into your laning phase now. Stop whining.

LeBlanc is unviable

Kassadin : .....you should seriously stfu.

And also, play LB yourself instead of pissing your pants from reading Math & not having commitment to main LB for yourself.

I hope LB stays in the cellar of champion selection now. NO ONE should be able to have high burst, mobility, and ridiculous wave clear like she did pre-nerf. There has to be trade offs for her mobility, and those nerfs did that.

Wave Clear? You talking about a W-W? Cause that's like once every 30 aint it?

Gare Jordans2 votes

Yeah, but that's every other minion wave or so that she can clear with that combo.

Well her ult is on a 30 second cool down. Minion waves spawn every 30 seconds. So that's actually every wave if you choose to only farm with that exact combo and not go for kills at all. Not the greatest, but every champ has a weakness and farming is typically leblancs.

These changes to her Distortion is exactly one of the things needed to make her state headed in a decently balanced direction. Her laning phase is one of the safest and with the ability to return back to the origin point after dealing guaranteed damage from 2/3 of her skills (all if you land chains or 1/3 to all if for some reason you decide to mimic Ethereal Chains, which is acceptable in certain fights), she needs some sort of counterplay to it.

And to imagine a few years ago when people considered her to be in a bad state then, only for the other assassins to get the necessary nerfs to make their weaknesses known and LeBlanc to rise to the occasion, now she becomes problematic with her silence being targeted first, and now her mobility has some foreshadowing for you to make a play on.

QRW with E thrown somewhere there depending on the situation.

People, I present you Leblanc's main combo.

Throw in an ignite somewhere for extra credit.

It isn't recommended to solo queue her if you don't know her that well. The margin of error is tightening on Leblanc because she offers little counterplay. If you play her casually, then yeah, she's probably not going to be as viable to you as much as she once was. If you main her for real, then you'll adjust.

As someone who hates Leblanc,I actually had no problem with the old speed of her dash.......my problem with her dash was how she could instantly return to safety,especially when she can use her dash again thanks to her ult.The bitch could tower dive,get out Scott free & do it a 2nd time just for an extra "fuck you Ashe " I honestly would have added the Zed nerf to her dash.But this works too.

Riot saw the obscene amount of LB mains trying to bat down any support for propagating the Zed nerfs to LB, so they decided to nerf her toxicity in a different way. Props to riot for actually doing something right in terms of number nerfs.

I have never seen any difference with the Zed nerf tho because it didn`t impact his core annoying ressourceless poke output. After Zed ulti he has many more options because he can blink at many different positio because of his W and R.

I have the creeping suspicion people like this were among the bandwagon of people rejoicing Veigar's initial gutting, as such, I will collect these tears and use them to water my Fuck giving tree.

Wow, now you can actually trade with Leblanc and not sit back trying to cs, taking 40% of your hp every time you actually try to cs!

No, she was stupid and insanely frustrating to play against, now you actually can react to her combo. She might need a bit love, but honestly i think eth winrate's drastic drop is just because of fotm players still spamming her in solo que.

taleofsonata1 votes

You can trade with her but she can`t trade back thats the problem here for her.
