A Way To Nerf LeBlanc

-Make her ult have a cost.

There have been so many times where I knew I could advance on a situation because my ult did not have a cost and I had the right amount of mana for a particular combo. What logic is there in making her ult have no cost? It's pretty silly.

This kind of nerf is one she doesn't need. Why? Because it accomplishes nothing. In no way does it impact her ability to 100-0 someone. It doesn't change the amount of counter play she has or doesn't have. It doesn't impact her mobility. It just gives LeBlanc players a reason to watch their mana a little more closely. She is already one of the few assassins that has to worry about mana.

If LeBlanc is to get nerfed, she needs nerfs that actually fix her problems. Not nerfs that nerf her for the sake of nerfing her.

Just make her Q a skillshot.

this, the main problem most people have with her is that she can QWQ instantly from behind minions and if your spells don't go through minions you need scripter/faker level reaction time to trade back any damage, tweaking damage or mana numbers isn't going to do anything, they need to work on her linear yet unavoidable trading combo

going back to her W should cost mana

Give her ult a cooldown. She just uses it immediately when she hits 6 to get you low without having to fear punishmeant for "wasting her ult" since it costs no mana and will be up in 25 seconds again.

remove her AOE

I say give her the Zed treatment, make her Distortion less cancerous and voila, she now needs functioning brain cells to know when to and when not to engage, like any balanced assassin.

I seriously don't see the point of nerfing a champions point of selecting it would be better. It simply just erases the champion from the pool. Yeah like mr kassadin. In my opinion I think her worst con is her mana consumption and low sustain. But the thing is she seems to has many mechanincs that seem to "refund" as though if its natural, like breathing. Like how about making her use mana when she returns on the W pad as well and make her a ever mana hungry champ? I bet there will be tactics that can exploit it to shove her off lane

Why not just have her ult do less dmg per enemies AND MINIONS struck. Like do 10% reduce dmg which also affects the "Q" procing.

So basically do 10% reduce dmg per enemies stuck with can only stack up to the most of 40% 10/20/30/40 Only half of the reduce damage is for minions 5/10/15/20

is that ok for a nerf on LB and it also is for the ult too

Sounds terrible imo. Giving her ult a cost would punish for just spamming it for free escape over and over. I like OP's Suggestion.

Give her W the same treatment Zed's ult just got, and reduce the tether range on her E, along with it's hitbox.

There; you now have to be really good at landing those chains, and you'll have an opportunity to catch and trade with leblanc when she uses her W.

Umm, good?

I'd be happy if it had even half of the average mana cost. 50 isnt even that bad.

Really this won't even change her that much, really if you nerf her damage she becomes useless, if you nerf her mobility she will die every single teamfight.

They should change her ult, so that when she uses her Q it does more damage rather than her W does more damage. Why? Because her W is AoE. This would nerf Leblanc but give her some real compensation. It would make her more of a single target burst damage mage as she was mainly designed to be.

The main problem with her is....wait what? You're talking about Leblanc right? The Champion that before LCS no one wasnt even playing and complaining about? She has always been this way, be happy they took out her silence.

Her combo is unavoidable. Q has a pretty obvious and short range. Maybe you should be aware of her ranges so that once you get into her zone of control, be ready to strike the ho with your back hand because she is super super super squishy and easy to punish.

I pretty much first time Twisted Fate in like half a year and was pretty rusty. But, i actually have champion knowledge of Leblanc and was able to avoid her W damage and her E damage by simply using all the 3 dimensional space in my lane to avoid, re-position, and harass her like cray cray. Did I win lane? Fuck no. My mechanics were off on TF and I couldn't last hit that match if my life depended on it. But still, I was like wow, I am glad I play Leblanc so I know how to counter play half of her kit and so all she can successfully land is a Q and R with a couple auto attacks. Mean while, my mediocre reaction time was able to predict her danger zone and adjust play style so that she was forced to W at me in order to land a Q.

Funny thing how a little champion knowledge can bring to the table in terms of counterplay.

Anywho, quit bitching and git gud.

she is super super super squishy and easy to punish.

which applies to about 95% of all the mid laners

Her W is like Zed's ultimate. You couldn't hurt Zed that much unless you CC'd him, same with LB. But she can do it twice.

I think it has no cost due to each ability having different costs? We all know how rito is at programming.
