Why do people QQ about Le Blanc so much?
She's an assassin just the way she should be. I know she has one of the highest pick/ban rates in the lcs and if ahead can be a nightmare but that is with all assassins yet le blanc got nerfed this patch.

- Unlike Zed, she doesn't telegraph her combos in nearly the sufficient time required for a target to fight back.
- Unlike most Casters, her combo involves her rushing around. A lot. It stops one of her class' biggest counters, Summoner Spell Exhaust, simply by being an ass to click on in time. EDIT: I'd like to point out that this problem is made even worse by point 1.
- Nobody knows how to play against her Distortion. This is more to the fault of bad players than it is LB's fault, most people's immediate reaction is to run away from a source of damage, and therefore, run away from her Distortion return pad. Essentially, because of the players' reactions, they are giving Leblanc an escape.
- Her ultimate is pretty BS. No mana cost, and it weighs incredibly hard on the rest of her kit (I'd argue the rest of her kit is already balanced and representative of a complete champion, having another ability that replicates any within this kit pushers her just overboard). Quite frankly, I think it needs to be balanced around the level of the ability it mimics, so that she doesn't randomly have a direct upgrade to 2 of her 3 normal abilities level 6, ultimately negating the entire point of a leveling curve.
Do you know what a critical strike is? That's basically what a leblanc is in mage terms.
Not only does she avoid the adc through repeated usage of her long distance fakeouts, invisibility, and manages to punish both tanks that get near her she also shuts down any unlucky rival mage to get near her.
With repeated fakeouts she's dodgy on top of getting rapid burst that can burn holes into diamonds. You can't nerf her avoidability and that's what makes her impossible to balance because other factors come into play as well.
shes also a nightmare to cs with
remenber when she was two shotting people on release xD
The two things a champion's kit can have that annoy people the most are things that let them kill the QQ'er or deny the QQ'er a kill. The champions complained about the most have both, and often result in them killing the QQ'er when said person thinks they are going to get a kill.
W+Q = 1/3d my health gone as a mid laner even with 42MR. oh whats that? neither of those could be dodged? so that means i HAVE to play back or risk just getting chunked.
I think the problem is LB holds the triggers to make plays and you have nothing to do but respond. No matter she's successful or not it's still frustrating.
