Why does Leblanc only need to keep her tether up 1.5 seconds?

Cloud273··1 votes·579 views

Karma has to keep her tether up like twice as long, the range isn't nearly as good, and the damage sucks compared to what Leblanc gets. And no I'm not comparing apples to oranges. 2 champions with tethers, but for some reason the assassin is able to cc you so much more easily than the mage/support.

Karma 2s Leblanc 1.5s

the range isn't nearly as good,

Karma 675 casting & 1000 breaking Leblanc 950 Karma can target through minions Leblanc gains extra range due to being a skillshot

the damage sucks compared to what Leblanc gets

Karma 60/110/160/210/260 (+ 90% AP) Leblanc 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+ 100% AP)

but for some reason the assassin is able to cc you so much more easily than the mage/support.

Karma Has a slow and speedbuff to apply it Leblanc gets a free slow with it

You are wrong on some occasions, right on others. But try to compare whole kits, not single abilities. Sometimes single abilities have to suck to make for a balanced kit.

I exaggerated a bit on the tether duration, but everything else is true. Leblanc gets more range, more damage, and doesn't have to keep the tether up as long.

Not like it's a skillshot for LB and a point click for karma or anything lol. That can't possibly affect the strength of the abilities.

Well let's start with the basics one is a skill shot the other is not.

Leblanc's tether has like 300 more range than Karma's. Karma puts herself in a really dangerous spot when she tries to get her tether off. Leblanc does not.

Yeah but its still point and click on a champion with a shield and movement speed buff, leblanc only has her w to get in range and has to aim it.

Are you serious? Karma can tether you from across a minion wave and shield/speed herself while doing it.

She doesn't even have to aim it, it's point and click.

It does like zero damage, and the range is really short.
