Is it just me, or is Leblanc an issue right now?

Just had a game against her as . Now before you start going "but shes your hard counter!", I know. I just wanted to say that I would choose old over any day. She was chunking me for fourth of my health almost immediately in lane, and was able to do so almost completely safely(I did land charm a few times but I just couldn't burst her down early). She got a kill off me then managed to get fed off teammates. She then carried the game 23/0. I did build early magic resist, and she was bearable until my teammates started feeding her. Am I just bad, or is there a way to counter her other then hard targeted cc? Oh and my team refused to focus her even after the third time she instantly deleted us all in a teamfight. It was partly just bad team play on our part that she got so fed, but is she considered "op" right now?

I used to pick Azir to fight her; but then they nerfed his soldier range and now he can't counterpoke.

I used to pick Kassadin to get close to her using my ult; but then they nerfed it into a crippled stumble.

I used to pick Veigar to stun her so she couldn't blink around; but they nerfed the stun.

I mean, you could always pick Urgot now; he has lots of early game damage and a super awesome range. Maybe it's time for Urgot mid to become super viable now that Leblanc rules mid.

Flash towards you, flash towards you, explode you, flash back, flash back, no summoners used no punishment available.

"Seems healthy enough. We should probably buff her." I mean, that would probably be my thought process if I was CertainlyT.

After the DFG removal I don't think she's as ridiculous but that doesn't mean she isn't still stupidly strong. At least now you don't get deleted from DFG>Q>R at full hp off point-and-clicks although she can still do it if she's extremely fed.

There is no counter to LB. Its pretty funny how all the fking "add counterplay" changes to Talon Kassadin Veigar Azir Yasuo
turned LB into the queen of mid because her mobility and instantaneous burst with CC has absolutely no counterplay other than misplays. At least Zed can be countered if you can facetank him or make yourself invulnerable (Jax, Lissandra, Yi) then kill him with superior sustained damage, but there's no counter for LB because she can burst you before you can react.

LeBlanc is pretty unhealthy design, which is why she's extremely binary, on a good matchup she simply stomps the competition, on a bad matchup she gets starved and becomes useless.

This is the only reason she remains a competitively viable pick despite the nerfs, you pick LeBlanc into a mage to shut down their lanephase COMPLETELY, if you got juked by a flex pick, then suddenly you're the one getting shutdown by the enemy, she's bad design and she's binary like that. She's already weak as it is, so if they nerf her just a bit, she'll suddenly be useless at the one thing she's good at.
