I think leblanket needs more then just an E/W width radius reduction

Holomovement··3 votes·705 views

Riot posted about leblanket on how she has too much high burst and is too safe and they're working on nerfs for her, and right now they're testing just a nerf on the E width. now I understand that they still want to do more things, but it looks like they're going to nerf the E width, then nerf the W radius and that could be it maybe something else small. I feel like thats not going to be enough, i feel like that doesnt change her high 2 second burst and instant escape strength, it just makes it abit harder to do. I played a game as yasuo awhile back, and with his dashes i can take advantage of her W's cd. if she Ws me and i even have a chance to dodge it even if i dont, i can dash through minions and make trades back on her. But I just played a game where a smart leblanc got flask because she knew yasuo has shit sustain. And i literally had no advantage on her, I couldnt think of a counterplay for it. I've seen lebl get flask before, but I just thought it was good against champs who get flask as well, to keep up with their sustain like Kassadin. But I think it's also a good choice vs yasuo, because the worst thing about his laning phase is his sustain. So yeah, i dont know, every champion has a counter and that doesnt have to mean a counter champ but just at least windows of opportunity to do things. For example, prenerf zed, as anyone you have a small window to make a trade once he trys to Q you and then after carelessly E's to get creep, you can try and hit him a few times there, and this goes the same for every hard lane (fizz, talon etc.) But against leblanc with flask, i had no idea what to do against that. Her W does too much fucking damage, and she was practically untradeable with 3 health potions and a flask. I think she needs a damage nerf, not a tougher way to pull her combo off.

OK just watch some LCS games. watch a game where a team with a Leblenc loses. whatch what they do. learn from them. because it is very doable to shut down a lb. or at least not feed her.

Idk why everyone says she needs nerfs imo I find it very ez to lane against her with almost any champ u simply don't let her q w u and she loses so much damage not to mention its very hard to cs with her and unless u feed her so many kills she falls off quite fast

Oh, it's that easy! Just dont let her use her abilities. Why didnt I think of that before. Next time, I'll take away her W key so she cant just fly all over the damn place like she owns it.

Be realistic. This isn't that simple.

sure it is. The range on her W isnt that big. Only 600 . Get a handle on that and she cant really touch you

the W or the sea of tears flowing through the boards. Leblanc cant do anything but assassinate squishies. She is the only assassin that cant take objectives or push down towers or even team fight, but champs like zed or ekko for example are more then capable of many other things in the game and burst down in the same fashion plus evade . If leblanc is only capable of the one thing it only makes sense she be good at it

For me it is take a champ that has longer range where u don't need to be on top of her for

Next time you play against a Leblanc as Yasuo or any assassins really, (early game) just let her use her combo on you (or dodge it) then just GO STRAIGHT ON HER FACE. she has a 7+ sec cd on q early 14+ on w and idk the e cd but its equal long. use that time to use Yasuo'S consistent early game damage to make the trade even.

I think those nerfs are bigger than you think. Her W is her only real for of wave clear. so Nerfing it's radius will hurt her farming Severely, which will make her more feast or famine. her E is being more relied on for procing her Q than her W. (probably because her Q no longer silences) So nerfing the missile width will hamper her ability to follow up, and increase her opponents ability to dodge the skillshot.

Take away the damage from her W and put it back into her single target abilities.

Solves her having too much waveclear when she needs it and solves her being able to do damage in pretty much an instant with her W.

Strong AoE damage that shouldn't really be on an assassin. Unless it's a very small AoE.
