LB Needs a Nerf

I don't know if you guys have been feeling it, but LB feels hella-strong right now. And by hella-strong, I mean a map-sized chain and more insta-explosion than old LB.

I think her AP scaling or something has to be tuned down, because for now, she's on my insta ban list.

I'm 6-1 with her since the rework

and the 1 I lost was because it was a bad map for her vs. counterpicks and my teammates were shit.

As much as I wanna believe that's just me being good she's pretty fucking strong.

Part of the issue is her interaction mechanics with her passive which lets her deal her super damage burst alot easier compared to when she had it applied to her Q instead for the extra damage. Her E tether could definitely use some hits with maybe a small damage scale down to even out how much damage she can stack up with the interaction with her passive combined with how her W lets her basically instant dive and hit a enemy champion, the Q is basically a click target and the E combined especially with her W makes it ridiculously easy to set up the tether then use it to proc 2 hits of magic damage.

It would be nice if they upped her Mana costs so that early game combo kills she can pull off puts her at a heavy disadvantage if she does not deal significant damage or kill the target, forcing her especially to not have these high CDR rune kit builds where she can still dish out large amounts of damage even without the runes having no armor, no magic resist and likely not even any regular AP and maybe just AP pen runes instead for the filler.

She is suppose to be an assassin but she could at least be locked up a bit if she constantly dives enemy champions and get away with such a easy combo that lets her especially have a short 1.5 second window to proc the tether's 2nd effect, rooting them and dealing a 2nd instance of damage, letting Le'Blanc to be able to throw in a few autos and maybe her Q and/or W again if they are about off CD especially thanks to that early CDR rune page building. This is even not counting for when her ultimate up which lets her do an extra instance of any effect with extra 'damage strength' meaning she can double cast her E, hit them twice for damage and double root and double damage them again. though the root would not matter much its the fact she already has a EZ combo to pull off a normally what was an annoying ability and had little use, now its ridiculously strong to where i'm sure its being maxed first or the sheer amount of damage it dishes out with its bases.
