LeBlanc is broken

Izletnik··2 votes·3,830 views

I really don't know what Riot was thinking with the rework for LeBlanc, because right now this champ is one of the most broken champs in the game. With 1 combo she can basically 1 hit a mid laner before lvl 6.

So I was playing Syndra mid against her and she did her QW combo which took only like 1/4 of my health, but then she threw the stun at me and as soon as it hit my my other 3/4 of my health was gone. I don't know how or why it has so much damage but the answer is Riot I guess so PLEASE FIX THIS.

You're given 1.5 sec warning, so Q, 1.5 sec, W is that 1 cs so important that you have to proc sigil of malice?

Then you most likely got bursted by LB's twin chain combo......

You can't dodge the Q, but you can dodge both her W and her E, or since her W now has a .25s lockout before she can return, just hit her back in the face. And you get a damn indicator that shows the Sigil prepping. What more warning do you need? Get out of her way.

Or are you saying an ASSASSIN'S ENTIRE COMBO PLUS TLD should not kill a squishy mage?

Actually, her early game is now more stronger, while her late game needs more brains to win since you cant just blow up the adc for free. To me I think she just had major buffs to her kit with minor nerfs. Which is good to me. On demand stealth, more rewarding burst, waveclear. Its a major rework success.

Bad news for the enemy laner though.

Her early is POTENTIALLY stronger, but also FAR easier to counterplay and react to. Which isn't an issue. But the 1.5s timer and CD per-target makes it really irritating and difficult to actually assassinate anyone past laning.

Yeah, I found out some major problems within the playstyle of leblanc these days that is trending these days. They level up their W and use it as gapcloser WITHOUT hitting the enemy carry with it and QR expecting it to oneshot like in the old days. Actually, I found out that if you land your leveled W and QR, you can still make a oneshot without your mark proc.

When I discovered this, my kill rate went over the top now and I can transition towards mid and late game with ease.

This is pretty much how we always used it bro.

Personally, WERWQ does it for me. Or and this is against stupid enemies who can't react fast enough, ERWWQ, instant oneshot and if they do survive by some miracle then the chain+SoM proc kills them.

Actually why hitting your W matters is quite logic. Since you leveled it up, why are you supposed to do one-shot damage without hitting it. I think riot did a good job in balancing this issue so that leblanc have to commit.

So, yeah you can still oneshot without using chains or markproc. but you need to hit the enemy with your W in the face.

Burst window increased: actual burst strenghtened.

This is the payout that assassins got with this rework. However of course the burst window increase has still put them at a bad winrate because it effects reliability lategame. If you get hit by EVERYTHING then it will do more damage than before, and honestly it's fair that way. Riot created the Assassin champion design to be "you get a chance to counteract, but if you fail, you are most certainly dead"

This isn't a problem for higher elo players so maybe ur just bad xd

Mate you're playing Syndra, you counter her so hard.

I totally agree with you, i was playing against an lb and she basically run on me at lvl 6, undertowering without her jungler un just kills me in 0.89 seconds. The most important is that i tooked 250 damages from her passsiv, Mirror Image, without any explanation. An other funny thing is her Ethereal Chains, a flash cannot even break it, so i think that, if you wanna break it, you should play fizz with ghost/flash, Z flash out and take a lantern from his thresh. With the hope that she will be nerfed. Amically
