For an "assassin mage" she does like 12 damage. What in gods name happened to her?
Also, why is it that every time a mage in this game starts doing somewhat decent people run to the boards and cry for nerfs, so mages get nerfed into oblivion, while meanwhile overpowered melee bruisers are absolutely shredding through the game?
Not like mages are the strongest class right now, only thing that holds lb from being pick/ban god tier(she is still strong af, 10% pick rate aint bad) is her kinda weak waveclear where you have to use ult in most cases. Also, it is not smart to build sheen IMO.
LeBlanc is pretty ridiculous. Even watching her delete people in pro play by jumping over a wall and offering no counter-play with her instant 100-0 burst.
Well I dropped her and that says enough
The biggest issue that a lot players take grievance with regarding LeBlanc is her tether range. It's way too long (out-ranging Caitlyn's ultimate) and has a generous hitbox to boot. A semi-competent Leblanc will dash in, throw Chains, throw Q, and then follow up with an auto-attack if they didn't damage their target with Distortion.
There was very little, if any, counterplay to that. It was a major factor that led to her rework. However, people complained and she got reverted. Making matters even more irksome, Runes Reforged allowed her even greater kill potential via the Domination Tree.
It gives her all of the stats and utility she wishes she had at the beginning of a match, meaning she no longer has to worry about buying the items she needed to acquire before Runes Reforged.
IMO, Riot just needs to add a mechanic to her Chains, where the range of the tether is directly proportional to how far the Chains travel before hitting a target. Should she throw down a pointblank Chain, she will have to commit to an attack.
As things are now, LeBlanc holds too much initiative.
