Leblanc.

Gerrimack··2 votes·950 views

Leblanc is broken. at level 2 she can Q W someone for like half their hp. Where's the counter play in that? Her passive needs a longer CD. It's impossible to get a successful gank off because of her passive and W CD is next to nothing. If you are less than 50% hp you cant even farm safely because she can just combo you once with ignite and you die. Her Q is too powerful to be point and click. Her chains break range is way too long. Her ult CD is too short and also makes a level 6 gank impossible because she can just W-R across the entire lane and if R is on its almost nothing CD her passive just takes over anyway. She can roam anywhere she wants because her W can hop over pretty much every wall in the game and clear waves instantly. She can tower dive at almost no risk because of W. There's almost no counter play in this champion and inevitably every game she gets fed by just 1 shotting you or roaming to other lanes and 1 shotting them then W'ing out taking no damage. I've never seen a leblanc do poorly in a single game. Every time i'm first pick i ban her. The only way a leblanc can lose a game is if the rest of her team feeds horrendously in the early game. Even if i end up winning a game against a leblanc it's because of her team, not her. She does well every game i've seen her picked. (which is every game if she's not banned). Feel free to give me some advice about how to play against her because i'm all ears. This is by all means a serious post and i would appreciate it if you answered the poll for feedback. Thanks.

Honestly though, he is the safest champ out there. Place turrets = Profit.

Where is step 2???

There is no step 2. He's such a safe champ that's all you need. They have farm, poke, and you have an almost infinite supply of them.

just incase he stil doesnt understand

donger will push minion wave into turret le blanc who already really cant farm wil not get farm donger will keep stun with you at al time for when shes going to dive until you have a good lead on her

(dont ward bush) no one is gonne be able to really gank you cause le blanc cant really attack you if your doing it right without getting killed and by the time jungler is able to help youl have 3 turrets up and 3 ready to be put up when one gets destroyed

if lb roams and get a kil (thats oke cause your getting al the cs/xp) and verry soon her tower she wil fall behind and be completely useless

build item 3157 item 3089 and if really far ahead on everyone start building item 3083 and just for the lols item 3512 item 3060 alsoyou might like some magic resistance item 1033 when fighting lb... but probertly not cause your not letting her get anny farm so she cant really do anny damage

So the Donger is a hard counter to Leblanc?

donger is a hard counter to ANNYONE who can not take out his turrets

i dont really think le blanc has annything in her kit to take out her turrets

For the laning phase, yeah. And if you can keep her from getting fed, you pretty well shut down her late game. So yeah.

The trade-off is that Heimer has a fairly limited presence in the late game, also.

Yep. Karma Karma is good for similar reasons. If she spams her q, she can push the wave hard. She has a sheild for LB's damage, and if she does take a hit, she can R+W and get it back. With a snare, to boot. :D Also, she's a good candidate for Luden's Echo, which, in addition to being fun, is good for the wave clear.

I just gotta say, though. That Heimer build . . . I don't think I'd do that. Rush Zhonya's, sure. Maybe. If you wanted the tank stats, then Rod of Ages into Zhonya's. Add Abyssal Scepter and/or Athene's, and you're pretty well set. Toss some sorc boots in there where convenient, and finish with a deathcap. item 3027 item 3157 item 3001 item 3174 item 3020 item 3089

I could see item 3083 item 3512 item 3060 as Heimer top or support. Maybe. But not mid-lane.

its more of a buy cause im already so far ahead so why not be unkilleble or have some extra siege dmg kind of buy actualy since you wil be fed of cs where the other mid laner will be terribly behind ( le blanc/yasuo annyone who cant fight heimi ) and other people will come and try and stop you even at the kost of 3/4v1ing

if your so far ahead that youl have zonyas and raba while they stil not doing that great item 3083 will make them al rage as they just cant stop that massive amount of hp your having while walking trough those dam turrets item 3512 is actualy really nice for heimi

Ah, okay. :D

She's slightly strong right now, but not blatantly over-powered. Anyone that can push the wave to her turret gives her a pretty bad time, because LeBlanc does not farm very easily under turret. In order to seriously poke you in lane, she has to put a pretty large dent in her mana pool; those spells aren't exactly cheap. And if she uses W on you, try firing a skillshot at her return point; most players will react to your cast animation and teleport back to try and dodge, only to get hit due to your preemptive aiming.

Malzahar and Mordekaiser both do very well against her in lane. If you're playing an AP mid that isn't very safe against her rush Abby Scepter. Azir can also lane against her very well, you need to E her Distortion right as it happens and the damage will get negated, AND she'll lose the trade. Diana rushes Abby Scepter and can outtrade her granted she doesn't feed her a kill early. This is from my experience playing as and against Leblancs.

If you're playing Katarina or someone with mobility you can displace yourself right after she Q's you. Her W hitbox isn't that big.

And finally if you're that scared of leblanc, start Crystalline Flask and rush negatron and just farm.
