Some ideas about LeBlanc
First of all, I'm sorry for my bad english, but it isn't my native language.
Well, I started maining LeBlanc during Season 5, funny champ, a bit hard to carry with her in my elo, yet I think there is something wrong with her. She is THE DECEIVER, but the only thing she deceives is counterplay. Why? Because Q W has almost 0 counterplay and deals a lot of damage in the safest way. I know there are some nerfs on PBE, but I guess these nerfs are not enough. Currently, she doesn't even fit her role of "deceiving lady", just muh damage in 0.1 seconds and insane mobility. What really makes me cry is her W. Long-range poke, easy to land, a lot of damage and also mobility... Just nope. So, I was thinking: "what about changes for her W?", and here we come:
W - Distortion First cast: LeBlanc rapidly dashes to a target location, damaging enemies within a X-radius area and releasing her clone for 2/2.5/3/3.5/4 seconds (?) after a 0.5(?) seconds stealth. Her clone deals no damage, has 10/15/20/25/30 (based on spell level maybe?) bonus movement speed and can be controlled with alt+right click. LeBlanc can activate Distortion again in the following 2/2.5/3/3.5/4 seconds. Second cast: LeBlanc exchanges place with her clone.
This would allow people to punish her in lane: if she uses W in the wrong way, she can't blink away for free and she can be damaged by her opponent. Of course, she would require more skill to be played in the right way, but she would also have a lot of outplay potential and the possibilty to make nice plays.
Thoughts?
