i know that this has been brought to peoples attention but im just bringing it back up because i miss playing LeBlanc. her winrate is not going above 47% anymore which is unfortunate, and the reason is because she is missing the silance. i know league is about catering to low ranked players since they make up most of the players in the game, but please help us out a little and bring the silance back.

just to clarify when LeBlanc had her silance she was not broken or OP. she was just another good option to play mid she had good roam and assassinate while being ablue to protect herself in a 1v1 situation.

removing her silance has stoped her from making good trades early game, because she can no longer stop her opponents from snaring or disabling her when she jumps in and with her low HP pool she ends up losing the trades she should have won. i dont think that increasing her damage or HP will be a fair way to compensate the lost silance so im just asking to bring it back i dont main LeBlanc i just miss her being good.

First of all, it's "silence". Lead Champion Designer (Meddler)'s Red Post: "We're removing ranged silences from mobile, high burst assassins specifically at the moment. With characters like Le Blanc that have that ability to combo down a target we'd like the victim to have a bit more of a window to fight back in. Silence removes most of the options from the enemy player once Le Blanc engages and she's able to do so from a reasonable range. On characters with longer time to kill, less mobility or less reliability by contrast silences are less of an issue."

Her silence was nearly unavoidable and left very little room for counter play, which is the opposite direction Riot is trying to take the game.

The silence is her core identity, might as well remove Siphon strike from Nasus. /Fingercrossed for rework.
