How the hell do you play LB nowadays?

LaserDeathBlade··1 votes·574 views

I can never win with this champ, I'm 2 - 17 with her and it's not like I'm feeding or anything, I actually have a really good KDA. Ironically, some of my best games have been with ADC LeBlanc

Usually every game I can get really ahead, but then just get outscaled extremely quickly. Like, just a few games ago I was 4-0 against a Veigar, but once he got DFG he could literally 1 shot me with only DFG+R, whereas I need a full DFG-QRW to kill him assuming he didn't use barrier.

And it's not just Veigar, it seems like almost every popular mid outscales me extremely quickly, whether its through their waveclear, CC, burst, or in most cases a combination of all 3.

How do you lock down a win with LB? With most assassins like Ahri/Talon/Syndra/Kat/Akali, I can roam and just snowball to victory, but I just don't feel the same snowballing effect with LB. It just feels like you have to be ahead just to barely break even with other mids.

It's really hard for me to engage a fight because enemies won't be dumb enough to stand close enough to get hit by a full DFG+QRW, so I have to use W->DFG->QR->E which usually doesn't even come close to killing them because I have to max E just to be able to push my lane.

Despite the changes she is asme as ever. SHe sucks atCS, cheeses early and is beyond worthless late.

If she can get really ahead and prays her team pushes early she can get wins, if not she got nothing.

Only difference of note is that hitting a mimic'd E is better than hitting a mimicd Q if you can do so without risk.

Is it really though? O_o My Q's usually higher level and the mimic'd Q has the proc damage

They uncoupled the leveling to mimic's damage so ur mimicd spell does damage independent of spell level, or at least I'm pretty sure that's how it works now if you read the tooltip.

Her Q and E with2 ticks now do the same damage but E comes with an extra stun so if you can hit it, it's better.

Thing is, if you wanna go around hitting tethered snares that hurt like a mofo I'd just pick morg and press R + Z ring and huheuehu all the way to the victory screen WITH superior waveclear and AoE damage on top of that.

Having a bunch of dashes may help you juke but when the enemy team decides to push mid juking isn't going to save the game, waveclear is.

Given the general discontent with Zed, why do we tolerate these hyper-mobile caster ADCs?
