About Leblanc

I have no problem with her burst, shes an assassin, i get that shes supposed to have huge burst potential. she seems to be in a good place right now with that burst... however....

What I do have a problem with is her Ethereal chains

When we take a look at other assassins with similar burst potential, like talon, zed, and akali it makes no sense why she has a snare + slow on her chains. The reason they dont have hard CC is because it is offset by their burst potential, so why isnt that applied to LB? What those assassins do have slows, talons cutthroat, zed has his spin, akali has her shroud, but no other form of CC. So lets tone her back to where she should be. As an argument against LB using these same assassins is the fact their mobility is much more limited then LB's with talon and akali only having gap closers and no real escapes, and zed has his shadows but atleast he has a cast limit range to where he can go back to his shadow.

Id like to suggest making her tether more like swain's decrepify where it will do damage over time while slowing, it just doesn't snare.

or

id like to suggest just removing the snare and leave the rest of the move as it is, the reward by itself is the fact that you slowed them AND got a good chunk of damage off twice no need to throw in another snare

I feel that the removal of the snare is what is needed to keep LB in line with the other assassins. No need to fiddle with the numbers. With these changes it will still reward people for staying near their target as LB, However it doesnt reward her unfairly in both pursuit and escape

I get what you're going with, but the snares are actually healthy for her. Here's what I mean.

She has two right? After she uses the second one, she has no ultimate, which means she then loses out on damage from Mimic: Sigil and loses Mobility from Mimic: Distortion. Because of this, LeBlanc actually has good gameplay choices and options, all because of her ult.

She can either double up on damage, double up on CC or double up on mobility, but once she uses one, she loses lots on the other two.

Her chains do the least amounts of in her kit too, so she really loses out on damage then.

If she didn't have the chains, she would get more damage.

I seriously doubt that's what you really want.

Not entirely, riot has removed what was considered toxic altogether (example is her silence) and did nothing to buff her. Made her more healthly, still not where she should be though. A change does not always have to include a buff be mindful of that

With the extra damage she gets, she loses out on CC and Mobility. That's exactly what I would want.
