Can we not nerf Gunblade because of Leblanc

{quoted}

Most of the reworks were failures. Poppy, Sion and Galio = ok.

Galio's a failure in my mind.

Although that may just be because he's overtuned. Seriously, who thought making another Gragas E was a good idea? That Galio E ties it for worst hitbox.

"All in favor of removing Leblanc, say ay-

Half the Galaxy: Aye!!

She's always been a problem child. Who knew a hyper mobile assassin would be a balance problem.

And old LB wasn't an abomination?

I say we just delete the champion and never speak of her again.

old lb was a nuke. she was easier to deal with in a sense. not in lane exactly. old lb in lane had twice the kill threat as she could 100-0 you before level 6 back then. however. she couldn't waveclear until she got an item and put few points in her W.

I was really meaning more that her burst was gimped pretty hard so shes kinda reliant on being a waveclear bot - albeit a bad one.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable tank LeBlanc which will cause mass suicide and people crying that she's OP, when it was the stupid W damage nerf that put here in that position

False in so many ways

Protobelt helps her clear waves faster which helps in pushing if you wish to use proto that way The dmg you do to towers is determined by one (And only one) of 2 things. Its either 40% from ap (Might not be 40% exactly dont remember the number its around 40% tho) _Edit its 50% Of ap _

Given that 40% of ap ll always be higher then that 40 ad gunblade gives gunblade LL NEVER FKING EVER help her even 1% in destroying tower faster

Bassicly Early into game base ad hurts towers. Later in the game roughly 40% of ap helps you hurt towers on Ap champs

What however ll help her split is lichbane And using 2 autos from a clone buts thats beside a point

**If you have revolver and back with 2350 gold. Yeah then gunblade is the best choise since then you can afford entire gunblade without stupid cutlass. and thats why gunblade has 1% bigger winrate then other hextech items le bl (btw 1% is not even alot fpr a strictly more expensive item..) Because once lebl builds gunblade she is backing with so much gold her team has mostikely taken bunch of towers and she has massive lead **

Else other hextech items outclass gunblade on le bl. So calling gunblade a problem makes me giggle... XD seriously it does

Idk why you think having a lifesteal And AD is a "good build path"

Faker is Building hextech glp over gunblade I am strictly better then faker on le bl (Could go in detail on this he is amater le bl as far as I am concerned ) and I am building protobelt

What le bl builds out of revolver doesnt matter much

Akali can take that nerf aswell. And morde is not being played anyway.

It depends on what they nerf. That said, what is the nerf? I haven't seen anything about it?

... Its less burst than Morello, but the damage from the active is more than worth it...

This one annoys me a bit. It’s a somewhat common error, but Gunblade is not a sacrifice in terms of burst when compared to something like Morello. The active is specifically part of what the item adds to the equation.

The highest I can get a single rotation all-in burst from Leblanc to show on AP ratio’s is 3.4AP. The difference in AP from Gunblade to Morello is 20. That’s 68 more damage from the rest of her kit.

Gunblade will add 40 damage if you get a single auto in.

The active ranges from 175 – 250 base damage.

And the .3AP ratio added on is 24 damage from the AP built in to Gunblade alone, not counting anything from runes/masteries/dorans/anything else.

So for a full rotation all in, that’s at least 239, or a minimum of 171 damage in favor of Gunblade. That advantage only increases.

The weakness of using Gunblade instead of Morello isn’t burst. It is, oddly enough, sustained output. The active is on a 40 second cooldown, it has no CDR, and it doesn’t have either of Morello’s two mana sources. It's just that it's defined by having a health sustain passive, which makes it sound weird to say its weaker on sustained output.

Gunblade’s easily a contender for one of the games top sources of single item burst padding. Varying kits, values of penetration, and reliability of the other Hextech skillshots makes that complicated, but Gunblade's up there.
