Katarina or Leblanc?

Leblanc Katarina I'm really torn one which one of these two babes I should purchase. At the moment I only got enough for one sadly. I am going to hold on making my purchase tonight so I can hear from you guys and your thoughts.

I'm sorta leaning more towards Leblanc I think, but it's just so hard picking one. The good thing is they both click skill for the most part. Leblanc could take less damage I suppose against melee with her distortion, and speaking of that, I think Leblanc is in my top 5 champions for the most annoying ever. Heimerdinger, Cho, Tryn, Leblanc yadda yada... anyhow...

I do love Kat tho too, would give me the best chance on picking up lots of multi skills, especially her ult. It's just really tough to decide.

To be honest with you guys... I NEVER got shut down against Kat ever in mid 1v1. Leblanc tho? I been shut down before by her, and it's not often I'll ever lose my lane but this bitch is so annoying.

Also... to help make my purchase, for anyone who's played one of the two, can you also please tell me about their cooldowns cause CD time is important, that might change on who I get.

(also considered getting Blitz as I have not gotten really a true supp champ).

Le blanc and her mobility are a bitch deffenetly

how ever i much rather have a fed kat on my team than a fed leblanc

I also rather have a fed leblanc in the enemy team than a fed kat, kat fed or not demands you to save cc for her and focus her down the entite game fed or not cause else she will get fed and she will br dangerouse

leblanc when behind not so impresssive kat can stil hold back for her team to drop someone low kil get her rrsets and the dmg output will stil be big

Leblanc Difficulty: Very High Risk: High Mobility: Great Cooldowns: Medium - Long Defence: Very Low Power: Above Average Win Rate: Below Average

If you get Leblanc, its all about risk reward. If you can land her hard combo's you will almost 100% delete that enemy, however if you cannot land it odds are you will be deleted since she is very squishy for a mid-laner. Late game she is more of a lane pusher than a fighter because she is extremely easy to 2-3 shot late game even with a Seekers Armgaurd. Leblanc is very mana reliant and easily loses it because her ability cost so much which is problematic early game, stack that with heavy cool-down times early-mid game and you note she is most effective mid game. If you cannot land skill shots this champion is defiantly not for you, she is very skill-shot reliant to play her effectively.

Katarina Difficulty: Low Risk: Medium Mobility: Average Cooldowns: Low - Medium Defence: Above Average Power: Average (-but easily buffed) Win Rate: Average

If you get Katarina, she is a somewhat simple champion to play. The biggest problem is that she is not ranged, which is a negative when it comes to facing other mid-laners that can poke you down to low health without you being able to get close. She has a teleport move that only allows you to teleport to units within a certain range which doesn't allow for the easiest escapes but she is very quick on her feet. You can build her offensively or defensively depending on where you are at which allow for more customization. If you can't melee and burst fast, this champion may not be the best pick but she is very easy to pick up.

If you master the arts of Leblanc, its so addicting that you'll never forget it. But the problems is she is currenly in a hard position....mmm....

i recommend diana,played in her the free rotation, after level 6 and one item you can 100-0 anyone,very high mobility and a sheild ,also great wave clear with the q ( lots of people say its hard to aim and stuff but get in the right angle and you can take out a whole wave and still hit an enemy champion) lol for me shes like a easy leblanc
