I lost my last 10 Leblanc games in a row, need ADVICE

http://th08.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2014/267/c/e/emilia_leblanc___league_of_legends_by_drilo1-d80c2bm.jpg I am not a Leblanc main, and I think I've only played her 10 times in the last few months, but I've lost every single one of them. She has a 45% win rate so I don't think she's impossible.

I smartcast everything but I still get blown up before I can finish a full combo. (Not referring to laning)

I find laning with her to be very fun and engaging after her silence was removed. Last time she was an invincible laner, now I have to look out for enemy retaliation :)

Any tips for her? I feel like I don't do anything to contribute to the game, my gold is always the same as the support's. (4k gold behind all teammate-carries) It is difficult to farm on her, and her combo takes a little too long to pull off. Ahri's charm immobilizes her enemy for a split second for DFG and Q to land. A Leblanc trying to maintain E to land full combo.. gets blown up.

What I've been doing in teamfights is just hovering around, landing DFG, Q, then R, one at a time. But any decent player gets out of range the moment DFG lands..

I was watching a game and the Leblanc player maxed W before Q, is that viable?

LB has poor farming and long cooldowns during teamfights due to the fact that you often need to land her entire kit to get a kill. Riot recently nerfed her by reducing damage and removing the silence from her kit. Even though she has a high skill ceiling comparable to lee sin she falls off much, much harder.

If the other team can get through 30 minutes without you getting fed you lose... Think Shaco but for midlane.

I believe you can dfg mid dash or something like that. (use dfg to zone out their carry then blow up something else if they dash away)

LB is not in a good spot, high skill ceiling but little reward for it.

My tip is a strange one, and I won't be offended if you don't want to try it, but have you tried playing AP Ezreal?

LeBlanc has a better early game than Ezreal, but Ezreal is way better in the late game team fights. That said, AP Ezreal can still burst squishy targets instantly and has good mobility (aspects most LeBlanc players are looking for).

I usually rush item 3100 , and get item 3158 and item 3089 as soon as possible after that. From there, pick the AP items that fit your situation. Use your ult for wave clear, your Q for damage and CDR, and you'll probably be OK.

Don't play her. No silence means the enemy mid just uses his mobility and runs aways before you kill them because the onlyy cc you have is crap. Only way you get to kill someone is if they have 0 mobility spells or are retarted enough to stay in lane at half heath, 0 health pots and a LB approaching level 6.

You should not play her.

I agree that she is fun, but she is the worst midlaner. Riot destroyed her deleting her silence.

Every mid laner can oneshoot a squishy target. LeBlanc can just do it more fast, but she has to be in the range to land at least Q R W which is mostly impossible most of the time especially during a team fight.

In fact, if your are ranked GOLD +, it is verry hard to do well, you have to be feed.

She is a good champ in Bronze and Silver because they are bad and they stay in LeBlanc range so she can get everyone.
