I'm not going to jump on that "ADCs are better assassins than assassins" tirade, but it would be nice for LB to actually do her job well and without so many annoying delays. Her kit is kind of unforgiving (as it should be for an assassin, high risk, high reward). However, as LB I feel like I have to be better than my opponent in most aspects and my timings to do decently on her. I don't mind losing the wave clear.
saltran13 votesNot an LB player but I always thought that the delayed dmg makes sense in early-mid game, not in late game because LB will be killed before she can do her dmg. Maybe reducing her delayed dmg at lvls 6-11-16 (as the ultimate) and some tweaks she can be balanced.
saltran8 votesWith this she can't do a crazy snowball with insta death but she will have her place in lategame because as an adcs player I can say that I fear more a Tank in lategame than an Assasin like LB full build.
Lebłanc Bot3 votesCuz a tank can actually kill u late game while a lb will throw out a chain at most and right when the animation is over the lb will be dead due to 4 autos and a static shiv proc

very good idea, you should make a thread about it
Diamond2Kappa4 votesShe does her job well tho
Just that her job isnt to be an assassin anymore LUL
Revert Fizz too btw hehe
Lebłanc Bot3 votesI’m happy for rengar mains cuz they have wanted this for a long time but us lb mains have been salty about this for longer. After her failed second rework and stupid needs given to her a partial revert like rengar will make us and the community much happier. Maybe not adc mains cuz they won’t be able to oneshot someone with just autos sadly.
SpongebobIsLife2 votesNo. Pre-Rework leblanc had some seriously busted damage and on top of her passive, made her also really annoying to deal with.

True, but it shouldn't be yes or no in terms of extremes. Both cases are bad for her, a middle ground, ie balance, must be met. She isn't in the best spot now, so a small, but not overwhelming buff is needed imo.

She still has busted damage, but now it's loaded all into her passive essentially.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWÆ1 votesOld LB had less damage in a full combo.
Zetto2 votesPass. Rengar getting a bit of his cancer back doesn't mean LB should get her significantly worse cancer back.
P0IS0N IVY2 votesYeah it's awkward how the adc can assassinate the assassin faster than the assassin can assassinate anyone else.
I don't play LB, but I think the delay part of her kit is extremely awkward. She needs another rework that removes it and adds in some other element to reward players for properly landing their spells. I'd really like for Riot to make more use out of the deceiving theme she has. More than just her R and W that is.
Nevrankroaton1 votesI really enjoy the new Leblanc, despite not playign her as much (since I play everything on a whim), she is one of the most fun assassin I had to play. Working around the delay for big reward is honestly something I really like, I think it is just difficult with LB because she make excellent trade but she isn't a burst champion like Annie/Zoe/Veigar anymore and many people are too used to have LB with this type of mindset. I think that being an Ahri player, the way Leblanc play now really click for me and honestly, I would love for her to never go back to the boring old LB.
BUT... I think her ult 'trickery' is failed and she could use maybe some tap love for burst late game.
Lebłanc Bot3 votesStop now
Nevrankroaton1 votesEveryone is entilted to their opinion, I know it is useless to go on the board for these kind of discussion since only people from LB main and old assassin main make topic about this.
It is like going to an anti adc topic and defend them, I know what to expect, people like you.
Camol1 votesIm a leblanc main on my main acount (gold 2) and shes kinda like jayce... if you are good enough at leblanc you cannot be beat in lane BUT late game the ADC can auto you 3 times before you get a chain off and you die
Attticus Finch1 votesRIot will never allow LB to be good enough for Faker to play her mid in GTs ever again.
The trickle down from that is the rest of us need to deal playing as a champion with clunky ass mechanics.
