LeBlanc still Overpowered

There are still a few champions in this league that once they get ahead are near-impossible to stop. Le Blanc being the main one that pops into mind, With her easy-mode targeted spells and limited cast delay, LB is able to burst most champs down from full to dead in under 3 seconds, snaring her target all whilst being able to safely retreat with a simply hit of a button. I just find it ridiculous, that at level 6, she is able to burst you from a screen length away, snare you and before you can even react she has teleported back without you being able to even react. So OP that you have no choice but to defend against it, especially when playing a champ that is "designed" for damage. Riot nerf all burst dmg champions (fiora,annie talon)but.Why do Riot not nerf Leblanc, Zed? NEEDS THE NERF

My only problem with her is that the chain range on her E is VERY inconsistent. Sometimes it breaks immediately upon getting out of range. Other times you stay tethered past twice its range. It's ridiculous when the latter happens because she can immediately turn it into a play.

She HAS been nerfed. Many times over. If you think this LeBlanc is bad, remember when she had a silence?

Fun fact, she wasnt even overbearing in soloque in her strongest moments. Madcuzbadthread.

I think you just mis understand how to play against Leblanc and what her main weakness is. She is not only squishy like other mids. but is insanely squishy. I mean she is up there with Soraka and Lux in being able to explode. Her poke combo is pretty much near impossible to avoid, but the snare is something you can and should be dodging. if she dashes you should be moving in a rather unpredictable pattern and preparing to dodge the E.

After her combo has been used, especially early her cooldowns are damn long so you can trade back with her here, or even right after her combo ends. I shit on Leblanc's with Lux all the time, simply knowing the damage is unavoidable and more playing around the fact I'm going to take a ton of damage. If you build defensively early, have a defensive rune set up and land your abilities after she uses her(she wont have a way to dodge easily then), you can actually be even in trades early or at least close enough to it to where she has to think twice about distortion into you.

Leblanc Q R is pretty cheesy and its a free detonate on the Q and that is where she is oppressive. You can just dash in, Q R try to land the first part of E and blink back. not much enemy can do.

Leblanc is not a problem child on the level of Akali, Talon, Katarina, or even Diana who's kits basically are indicative of "I either blow you up or I don't"

What about Ahri ......she has everthing in her kit. Poke, mobility, hard cc, heal and both AOE sustain and burst damage.

Hayaishi212/16/2015, 7:07:53 AM3 votes

And she's getting buffed.

LegacyDAP12/16/2015, 6:09:58 AM3 votes

I mean, that's kind of her niche. An assassin that can burst you from 100-0 and get back safely. For the record that's most assassin's who have single target burst, and practically no CC.

http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/leblanc/platinum Totally OP. As an assassin main, I can tell you straight up she's one of the weakest.

Do you need a guide how to lane vs LeBlanc? I am sure I can help you. I play her and I played vs her and in both cases I rarely lost my lane. You just need good picks and a knowledge of her kit. And then it is too easy to play against her.

Love it when LB chunks a quarter of my health with just a level 1 w

No she isn't she can easily be stomped also she can't solo carry a game easily.she is only God for one thing and that's killing the adc.we don't need assassins to be Nerfed especially now that adc's are stronger.

Yes, they are buffing her.....enjoy

She is puts herself in very poor positions to actually deal all of her damage, do not just downvote without thinking that you W legit has to be cast on top of someone to hit them.

Also, of course she is almost near impossible to stop when ahead. Every champion is that way if someone is good enough with them. The trick is to keep her from getting ahead, she is almost useless when behind

When i did Renekton support, we had a Yas who was losing his lane against an LB mid. I came in with my dash in, stun, dash forward to block her escape. It allowed our Yas mid to kill their LB.

Every assassins turning point is lv 6.

LeBlanc has decent damage early on, but her wave clear is very bad (unless she wants to waste her mobility for a full clear). Champs like Malz and Lux push her out of farm easily and have ways of dealing with her a lot faster. I play LB a load, not enough to call myself amazing, but enough that her biggest weaknesses are being pushed out of lane and targets that don't die easily.

She also can't carry very well, since everything burst in her kit is better for single target deletion. She thrives on deleting targets one by one. That's where she can destroy a team. Other than that, an organized team will keep her in her place at all stages.

Smitemuffin12/16/2015, 1:58:04 PM1 votes

Truth. Her biggest problem is that there's no respite from her oppressive laning if you aren't playing a counterpick. She can half-health you at level 2, even if you took MR glyphs. She can all-in at level 6 every 30 seconds. Honestly her E isn't even really important, as most good LeBlanc players rarely even need it. You should have the enemy laner below half as soon as you hit 2.

MunchCrunchLunch12/16/2015, 2:37:23 PM1 votes

yeah she is. the other day an lb got fed. not too much. just a cpl kills. she literally 100-zeroed two of us. instantly. under the turret. no chance. shes broken.

Annie has no problems dealing with LB. I'm also willing to bet you have horrid reaction times.
