Leblanc rework might be worse than Morde's.
Once a fun champion, now a clunky PoS with a really pretty useless ultimate. That 0.3 second delay help doesnt help either. And 1.5 seconds to proc passive is retarded.
LB was under 50% win rate in solo Q, never picked in worlds, and they nerf her this hard? Was rework supposed to be a massive nerf or just terribly executed?
I personally like her now more than before. :D mind tricks! I used to be a kindred one trick who plays mind games with my enemy. So shes bae to me right now! I can make people flash without moving lanes B)
Bring tp on her and make people think you mightve tp when u just ulted just to burn a summoners flash! :D
As a LeBlanc main, I'm greatly displeased with her rework. This rework has made LeBlanc's gameplay choppy, inconsistent, and has gotten rid of the fear people experience when she appears on screen. The ultimate is horrendous. I prefer the old ultimate. Riot sacrificed the nuke-mage aspect of LeBlanc for the 'deceiving' aspect that isn't even helpful. The only good things that I saw from this was, the new passive, updated art of spells, and the tiny visual in-game effects. Nothing else. If anything, LeBlanc needed a visual rework. The only skins that don't look horrible are Ravenborn and Elderwood. And Elderwood doesn't even look like what it's splash art shows.
You just need to get used to the new way she goes about things. I'm sure you'll grow to like her eventually.
I have to agree. She is pretty bad.
She's 100% useless after 20 minutes, falls off harder than she ever did before. She has an ok-ish laning phase, but compared to the likes of Talon, Kata, Yas, Zed, any typical AP mid, she is just terrible later in the game compared to them.
They also slowed down a lot of her combos like W -> E. Now the animation has to completely finish before the E goes off, it's just so fucking bad, to the point the enemy doesn't even have to try to dodge it, they just run in a straight line and it won't get to them in time.
And as for the Clones from her mimic, 2.5s makes them useless. For the old passive, it lasted long enough champs couldn't just hold CDs until the clone died. Now, they don't have to guess, just wait 2.5s since she can't do anything to you until the sigil procs anyway, and blast her.
And RR is just.. complete utter garbage. Nobody even reacts to it, and it just kamikaze's instantly, completely unlike a real player would do. LB Can't even pick off low-hp targets anymore because they'll just nuke her before she can do anything. And good god that constant automatic laughing is so irritating, and also makes everyone BM you because they think you're doing it on purpose. It also makes you look like a fool because she isn't deceiving anyone with her tricks anymore
Just what were they thinking?????
I think it really is going to depend on how you play her. Looks like she is more set up to juke people or force summoners with illusions.
Agree. I miss the old LeBlanc. So sad... absolutely no point of reworking her. She was perfectly fine... Man i'm so pissed. She was my favourite champ. :( I don't like the new one. I could pull off tricks with the old one too.. New ult, new passive and nerfed damage. Just great...
Can I buy the old one back? :P
She's solid.
Worse than Morde? Yeah, right....
Her rework is so much fucking fun to play but I have to admit its a lot weaker. She is more of a team fight based control mage with unreliable cc as she can't really assassinate anymore. You can be fed and catch an adc in a death bush and their team will get to you before you can kill them. You need to adapt a new play style focused around your e and using your w to evade damage as opposed to nuking people. This play style can be fun but it doesn't really have a place in this meta as other champions can do it better.
She just seems really confusing compared to before. I took her intona bot game and still couldn't figure out the ult double ability by the end of the match and just resorted to rolling my face on the keyboard. That seemed to work ok ish.
Completly agree. This new Leblanc feels terrible to play. An assassin can't wait 1.5 seconds to proc their damage. She doesn't feel like an assassin anymore. I miss the in and out of fights i used to be able to do, jumping in getting out dmg jumping back out. the timing feels clunky old leblanc was super smooth to play.
Feels kinda like the Ahri change except where Ahri was supposed to be a mage Leblanc is actually supposed to be an assassin.
you might be able to play mind games with the ulti to pull off ganks and relieve map pressure which is fun but still not what an assassin is about in my opinion.
This Leblanc could of almost been a new champion if you changed 1 or 2 more things it feels like.
Yeah everyone loved when leblanc could just press q r and delete any squishy. Lol she just actually takes some skill to play now. She is a little clunky but when you get used to her you can do some serious dmg
