This kinda a hate post between my laning being decided by one mistake and leblanc being op. I was zed vs leblanc i come to lane minions spawn i hit a q...she w's onto me takes creep damage i win the trade. i wait till my q is back up hit her and a creep with my q she gets 1 to 2 autos in she pops a pot cause shes half hp...i'm about full wave is almost under my turret and then she hits level 2 distortions onto me hits a chain while shes ontop of me...i figure oh well shes in my minion wave i'll throw a q and walk back under turret... chain took away about half my hp then her passive then her ignite and a few autos finished me off...Okay come back to lane a bit sad and sit under turret level 1 while shes level 3 i farm with q just in xp range and she dives me once she hits level 4. Whatever come back to lane i'm 4 shes 6 i wait under turret for wave she comes with graves dives me takes tower. From there on it went all downhill 4 to 5 levels down the whole game was too behind to do ANYTHING. I don't understand what i could of done to stop her from further snowballing after she got that first kill...i was useless ABSOLUTELY USELESS. It felt like there wasn't a single damn thing i could do after that one mistake...i even rushed mr but it was pointless. Why is my lane over after i make one misjudgement?

Sounds more like leblanc knew more of what to do to snowball vs you playing from behind.... also you make it sound as though your shadow is never up... ever.

That's what you get for playing against a Leblanc.

You just need to get more accustomed to playing from behind. By mid-game laning phase is all but irrelevant, outside of the damage it might have done to your morale. While LB is strong, there's no way she should have gotten 2 levels ahead of you, and the ability to 100-0 you, especially if you rushed Hexdrinker. If I could see the replay of the game, I could point out what you did wrong, but there's no way for me to do that. I'm almost 100% sure that it was bad positioning, and going in to CS at the wrong times.

If you use the new client, go back and watch the replay of the game. Watch what she did, versus what you did. It's a lot easier to spot mistakes in an environment of observation.
