Leblanc Aren't they supposed to be "high risk high reward" instead of no risk high reward. Even if for some reason she doesn't net a kill and ends up somehow getting out bursted she's back to the point where she originally engaged from literally instantaneously.

Leblanc andZed are just frankly badly designed. and need a COMPLETE rework so they arn't so toxic to play vs.

dashes are fine.. what they can do is NOT

Kassadin got fixed.. why cant they

she gets 2 shot by a full build vayne with ie, shiv, phantom dancer, triforce, bt, bork. A single auto with shiv crit triggers her passive.

Ahri is safer.

Is that a new Zilean skin? Would make sense that the safest champion in the game would see some time in the LCS recently

LeBlanc is far from the safest champion. She literally leaps into your face to attack you, making her easy to CC.

There are much safer mid lane assassins.

Ahri comes to mind immediately.

No assassin is the safest champion. LeBlanc is not even the safest champ who goes mid lane. That would be Zilean. As for the entire game, Janna is consistently the champion with the least amount of deaths per game on average.

Notice how the safest champions are, overwhelmingly, tanks, heavy bruisers, and mages. LB is indeed the safest assassin (unless you count Ahri), but the safest champion? No, not even close.
