How to fix Leblanc Solutions Thread

I'm tired of all the the post that say rather unintelligently " Nerf LB too stronk" and honestly don't consider where the true issues lie with . My solution is simple: slow down the Distortion animation speed. Think about it, even if her W did ZERO dmg, it is essentially one of the best spells that an assassin character could have ( She can go in, she can go out, and she can juke you all about) simply because it provides a higher level of control over two of some of the most important things for an assassin play style - mobility and positioning. Allowing THAT SAME EXACT skill to also wave clear, do AOE dmg, provide no clear indication of where she is going to land and also proc her Sigil of Malice Mark is proving to be a semi-toxic/unbalanced/overbearing play style for obvious reasons. Now, I realize removing any of the aforementioned portions of 's W may honestly be way too severe of a balancing method, however I feel that slowing down the Distortion speed would add the counter play that LB match ups are definitely missing. This is because, After all the benefits mentioned above, I feel like is still highly reliant on her distortion damage in order too have truly have favorable trades, and making distortion easier to react too/less reliable would provide laners with any opportunity to punish LB if she fails actually land her W.

TL;DR Lowering the W speed would give opponents meaningful counter play against , thus making the experience of playing against more enjoyable/bearable without completely destroying her viability
