I am talking about her mimic not shadow of a rose (altough I like shadow of a rose to, but there is no way of preserving it without multiple buttom presses, and many people have problem with that sadly ):;:: )

You are reverting Le blanc and handling out 8 nerfs to a champion which had 47% winrate before rework. I expect her to sink at 42% winrate Which is Perfect because you can squeeze in some successful things about her rework which is her ultimate spawning clone any time she Rs

Why is her clone spawn ON mimic relevant?

• It jukes, creates confusion, Le blanc is deceptive champion
• It is literaly a mini trickster which is something we need given that Riot backloaded her E damage at root nerfing the old WRQE / WQRE combos
• Clone could add some damage on its own to. This had clear counterplay as walking backwards / CC-ing clone could make a clone vanish before auto.

Having delay without this tools ll be more painful for People who hate Le blanc current delay (I dont find her delayed at all, I still burst everyone)

Her old passive is also disgusting. I juked with that ability around 10 000 players in my lifetime. Yet I do not want it back Because Juking with this ability is hard For even LCS pros. Infact I never saw an LCS pro juke with her old passive on purpose specially not consistently... this is because they have** no control **OVER when it spawns and because pros tend to know that **their damage and le blanc clone spawns with slightly less hp ** ,

Instead of her passive we should try to preserve her Reworked WQ combo which is another successful thing. I mean there was annoying bug where her Q sometimes didnt bounce because a target died mid bouncing but apart for that "bug" Her waveclear was more healthy it required 2 abilities 1 being singletargeted it made her less opressive. Also the joy I would get from both WQ and QW combos existing, makes me naughty...

Not to mention that it is good to seperate her AOE damage from Minion damage for balancing purposes.

#Last thing is her ultimate cooldown. Should be the same as live (Old Le blanc CD is to scarry due to ultimate hat 8 sec cooldown).

**If you want to nerf something nerf her Q cooldown to 10,9,8,7,6 from 6 at all levels. Here the replacement nerf, quite sure none ll mind **

Le blanc is her Mimic Thats her identity. Combos, versatility and deception. Live Le blanc has way better ultimate then old Le blanc

Suggestion version 1 If you dont want to keep WQ but you do want to keep her clone spawn, I have an easy non confusing passive rework

Try this passive

**Every 8th ability / or an ultimate Le blanc casts spawns a clone (works just as live mimic clone) **

(Should be noted if one clones appears the other dissapears if its curently alive)

Way less gimmicky then having to drop at 40% hp and she ll feel MORE LIKE a juke Master deception champion

Suggestion version 2 If you want to keep her WQ which is another successful thing from her Rework as it is an interesting combo which I would like to have rival the QW combo Then you would remove her old passive and word it something like this

#Le blanc AoE abilities mark their targets (cooldown same as live - to Prevent bunch of AOE damage, cook time same as live 1.5 sec). After those 1.5 seconds Le blanc abilities proc it creating that bouncing damage effect.

Le blanc W and Q should do reduced damage to minions. Because together this abilities are there for waveclear in this iteration

Lastly if we keep her WQ Bounce combo, then she would only spawn a clone on a ultimate use (not every 8th ability on top of that)

Potentional Extras: Bouncing fixed (Coded like Brand R so it doesnt fk up bouncing), Bouncing tries to follow your mouse hower because sometimes its to random (Should be applied to brand to)

So bassicly Suggestion 1 keeps her clone mechanics, they would appear at quite a frequency Suggestion 2 keeps her clone mechanics and the bounce combo (WQ combo)

Both suggestions are here with assumption we are removing her old TRASH passive and a compensation to post revert 8 or so nerfs

As far as her ultimate goes not sure if I should have mentioned it even. Quite sure long / even medium CD on her ultimate wont even survive PBE. but I suggested a nerf to her Q cooldown as a fantastic nerf spot if needed.
