Leblanc is still op ;_;

LeeZesuo··6 votes·4,943 views

Now, I love assassins, infact I used to only play zed and leblanc (sorry), but leblanc has received only buffs a few patches back, and honestly her main problem is that she's basically a safer zed. She has 5 flashes ( counting the sum ). Think about that for a second, and realize how broken that is. Especially with 40% cdr. Her chain length is way too long when it grabs you, that is what needs a nerf imo

I still see her picked in LCS constantly. Still broken.

broken if you know how to use her. unlike yi literally a 10 year old can get a penta.

The fact that her sensible counterplay was removed (as buffs now appear on the clone, too) makes it virtually impossible to tell between the player and the clone. It reduces the counter against her to simply playing the Guessing Game where you're most likely gonna pick the wrong one.

Whats the point of the passive if you can tell which is the real one? are you kidding me?

Why is it called "Mirror Image" if they look exactly the same? They should call it a true clone if you can't tell the difference. When you look in a mirror, you can spot a key difference between the reflection and the original. The same should be said for picking out the clone instead of losing on a coin toss.

You're really missing the point. If your hair is swept to the left, your mirror image will have hair swept to the right. Likewise, if LeBlanc's legging is on her right leg and the stocking is on her left, her mirror should be the reverse (legging on left, stocking on right). As it stands in-game, her double looks exactly the same as the original model, hence why they should call it a "clone" rather than a "mirror image".

The only champion who should have a true identical clone is Shaco. They're meant to look exactly the same in the first place due to the clone punishing the player that made the wrong choice (exploding in a ring of daggers).

Leblanc and all other ap assys are super weak right now. Maw/hexdrinker and steraks basically negates their burst. And now adcs are catching on and all buying them. Leblanc is actually weak as shit. I just typed out Along post a few days ago on why and I don't feel like doing it again but here's a summary: Any time Leblanc distortions into you, cc or damage her. Lissandra w, lux q, Diana w, heck I even usually have no problem with E-Q from brand to stun her when she distortions in. If a Leblanc got fed then either she is a really good Leblanc, or her lane opponent(s) were not good players, or it was bronze(doesn't count), or all of the above mixed.

Leblanc is fine right now,besides her chain is a skill shot unlike Karma and Morgana. In fact they can always buff her by giving her q a passive, that gives her plus 2% magic penatration at each rank so plus 10% at rank 5. I mean Zed natrually gets ad, Veigar natrually gets ap, Darius, Riven , so many champs get ad, ap, or pen for free.

this sounds more like this free stuff should be removed or nerfed (at least zed loses 5% of his ad bonus in total).

Honestly yes, your completely right, I agree with you, it makes no sence to have free ap or ad for no reason, but yeah knowing riot they would do somthing dumb.

at least veigar has to farm well (and he is not strong atm). There was a time when Zed needed skill. When he had like 48% winrate. That was nice, and he was good when the player had experience. But now he is too easy just because of his raw damage, the passive which makes csing a lot easier and the resource management. I mean, champs which low winrates and a curve that ends above 50% at 100 games are nice. And LeBlanc is one of them. You are rewarded for having experiences with her.

Buffing her mobility spell wasn't a good way to buff her either. Her chain is absurdly long

like my... okay, but no, she is pretty balanced and the most people share that opinion. There is no reason to change anything on her.

IDK if I were to change anything it would def be the length of her chains or remove the slow from them because they really go so far. if she gets a chain on you its basically guaranteed you are getting snared.

the chain is too hard to hit. And there are longer skillshots which do more damage AND go through minions. To hit the chain effectively, the LeBlanc has to use a w+q+e combo which costs half of her mana. The slow is not too high, 25% are like nothing and just help to proc the snare which is pretty important. Maybe it is because I know LeBlanc extremely well, but I have no problems with laning against her.

Remember her Q used to be a silence. I think she's fine.

I will admit, the hitbox on the chain is deceptively large. But raging about Leblanc is what you get for not playing Galio.

Michael Sykes1 votes

the hitbox has been nerfed in 5.11 and is okay right now
