New LeBlanc's RR behavior is too simplistic

TotalJerk··3 votes·624 views

If anyone doesn't know, her new ult allows her to globally cast an illusion that walks towards the nearest champion and casts the spell LB most recently used before ulting. The problem is that she targest the closest champion no matter what and moves in an extremely mechanical way. This severely limits how much you can actually fool the enemy. If there's a Nautilus and an ADC pushing top around mid game, this LB ghost will beeline directly towards Trundle if he's closer and then cast as soon as she's in range. The decision making, positioning, and nuanced behavior just isn't there. It behaves like a bot from co-op vs AI.

This severely limits how much mixup your ult can actually have. The best you can do is start randomly behaving like an illusion to generate a minor amount of confusion.

That is actually a lot of power. Because it always behaves the same way, it's very easy to pretend to act like you are the illusion, and catch people off guard when it is the real you.

Kind of like the classic Shaco clone play where you just stand still and let them hit you and they think it's the clone, then you Q out.

The problem is that that is basically the ONLY mixup game you can play with her RR.
