Reverted Lb Is BS.

I mean the little skill that was in her kit before is gone now she is so easy and has one of the least deaths/game as a fkin assassin lol. Like I already know you guys are gonna say "oH yEa WhAt aBoUt hEr e sKiLlsHoT tHaT tAkeS sKiLl???" and let me ask you this does a skill shot take skill when you can just fkin w on to the enemy and throw a pointblank e like how tf can u miss the e when u legit are right on top of them and then gl fucking getting out of it you fking can't don't even bother wasting your flash best part is she can also combo her e to make you snared for years if your a mele champ your good as fucked then she can just do her really high skill combo of w-w and boom your adc is with the fishes and just w back and wow she's safe, point is she is super strong while being super forgiving.

If you think her combo is W>RW then you seem to not know her combo lol.

Q > RQ > W or W > Q > RQ > E

You copy your Q for the biggest damage return.

Or even for in lane trading if they are weaker then you.

Q>E> AA > AA > Q > W

You're mistaken. It doesn't take that many buttons.

As someone who has played a lot of LB, back then and now, a W> RW shouldn't flat out kill anyone. W>RW>Q>E might but even then you'd be better off with one of the other combos.

i don't know what game you are playing but a w Q R would leave me with 10 hp

w qr is her playing it poorly. Imagine an assassin using her entire kit to kill someone /. Wow much shock

rather have that then being 1 shot in .1 seconds while she Returns to safety quicker than zed can to his shadows. if she wanna all in me thats fine, but she needs a 1.5 + second lockout on her recall back to W, cause she can leap across 2 fucking lanes with W R W and 1 shot you with Q E then recall back to W before your team or you can do anything.

she isnt that forgiving, once she jumps in and comes back out she has to wait for cool downs to come back up. The thing people don't realize is if lb cant mimic her w she doesnt have any mobility and will get destroyed. Her e does MINIMAL damage. Throw the whole post away.

Also id like to point out, if she w-rws (in your case w-w because you are misinformed) she has literally no escape for over 5 seconds. And also loses out on the majority of her damage

LB is mostly OP against people who don't know how she works. Once you play her, you start to get it.

It's hilarious because you're a zed main trying to call LB unfair? LOL literally everything you're trying to say about LB has been said about Zed for YEARS.

You're a monkey in gold elo and you still haven't figured out that Zed can W blink right out of LeBlanc tether range? That you can easily take things like nullifying orb due to being manaless, and easily build MR before 23 minutes due to not needing things like mana? That a 1300 gold item purchase can make LB completely worthless in lane after 1 back? If you ever lose lane to LB as a Zed player you just got straight up outplayed and have no idea wtf you're doing with your champion or itemization. You aren't playing some immobile melee champion that's prone to kiting you're playing fucking ZED so don't even try to pull that excuse.

Riot is too lazy to find good ways of reworking champions, they dont even try at this point...(inb4 some riot dogs will defend riot) (bring back old yorick that was not a bot made for split pushing)

You realize they reverted her because LB main were crying like madman about the rework and since rework LB was also problematic they did it to cater to the whiners right?

La BelloJun 12, 20182 votes

I hate revert LB just because the window the kill is non existant now.

we went from guarantee .5s back to 0.5s Q>W>R or Q>R>W. total fucking lamesauce.

idk why Riot didnt just revert ult and KEEP the passive if the big pain point was LB ALWAYS having her second W for a get-away.

KoechopheJun 12, 20182 votes

Honestly, Riot's idea of "Let's give every assassin damage that requires you to wait ~2 seconds before unloading it" is stupid, and completely invalidates them end game. Assassins need to deal damage very quickly if they are to have any sort of viability in a team fight.

I'm totally fine with new LB. Poke her in lane, and she's vulnerable to an all-in. If she lands her combo and it doesn't kill you, she's helpless for a while. Buy a Null-magic (people seem to forget that one from the olden days) and you'll see miracles. Don't get in range of her short-ranged W, if she can't land it, then she loses most of her damage output (since good LBs level it first). Waveclear her to death, her waveclear is sub-par and her mana costs on it are pretty high. When you clear the wave, wait for her to W for her waveclear, then harass her to death.

LB can be dealt with, people just don't take the time to learn how, and cry "OP OP". We see this story with every single assassin, at one point or another.

it's funny you didn't even mention her best combo. "w + r + q + e" Whenever I played her, that was the main complaint i got by other mids. Just pulling that off vs other competent mids that were highly skilled made them real mad.. especially seeing as that I'm not a very skilled player lol.

Excuses incoming: my apm is not the best, nor am i very good at all at this game. I take a lot of breaks and it destroys my skill at the game in general with every break. since i've started playing, i probably haven't spent more than 2 weeks at most consistently playing every day. On average I'd play every day for a week, then take a 2-3 week break. But I have been playing mobas for years before LoL was even in beta(dota allstars). I just play mobas casually nowadays, and never ranked. getting old i guess.

btw, she does take a lot of skill.. mainly just with quick succession of skill placement. she has a huge skill curve that might not be immediately noticeable. i played her quite a bit before she was reworked and am very happy that she was reverted cuz she was honestly more fun to play overall the way she was. the only difference i really saw was that she was easier to play by people with slightly slower fingers or apm.
