LeBlanc changes from the perspective of a casual player

Amazing!

I don't have much to say about the numbers, I've only played her in a couple of games on the pbe, but I can say I'm so happy that Riot reverted her rework to this state. Nothing was more infuriating than her passive on an assassin.

The only bad takeaway for me, is her ultimate. I've gotten so used to pressing R and then the ability I want to the point where it will take a lot of games to get back into that mindset and habit of it's just the last spell I casted. I'm wondering if her ultimate is set in stone this way, or if maybe they'd let us chose what mimic'd ability we would like.

Either way, Thank you, Riot!

Another problem you should consider pointing out is the unnecessarily high CD on her ult, of which is supposed to be at a low CD so she can waveclear and utilize her role as an assassin with all sorts of tricks up her sleeve effectively.

I'm rather uneasy about her revert. I picked her up only a few months ago, so i can't say much about her pre-rework state, but i like her a lot in her current state.

I'm mixed about her revert, but i do see some positives:

Pros: -Can Max W first for amazing waveclear -Doesn't have to wait a whole 1.5 seconds for her full burst

Cons: -Her automatic passive adds a huge layer of safety to LB, which takes some skill away from her kit and offers very little interaction for both the LB player and the enemy. The passive's safety offers a lot of hidden power that has to be taken away from elsewhere in her kit. -Loss of flexibility from her ult, which also includes her clone. In her current itteration, she has multiple tool choices. RQ for more burst, RW for extra mobility, RE for more CC, and RR to mindtrick people from accross the map. With her revert, you lose most of those tools, and she'll be more about optimizing combos for maximum efficiency.

Her RR clone is one of her current tool that appealed to me and made me pick her up. I feel like by reverting her she'll lose a lot of her skill expression, it'll be all about one-shotting people as fast as possible... again

I'm scared that her revert will displease me and that i'll stop playing her. I like champions with utility, and Leblanc is the only assassin that i enjoy playing. Despite being an assassin, she offered more utility than all others in her class, but her revert will cut that away from her.
