LB "revert" was a bad idea

I thought its a bad idea ever since I heard about it. There was a reason why you reworked LB and now you bringing it back will only result in the same situation of people wanting to nerf or rework LB. Extremely high instantaneous point and click burst damage from an extremely mobile AP assassin is the exact opposite of fun. Why do people not like AD assassins when they are strong? They burst you instantly with point and click damage. Why do people not like ADCs currently? There are many reasons but one being that they can burst massive damage with a single auto attack from a safe range. The fact that she can now combo you instantly to death with no drawback, is the reason why she was reworked in the first place. Sure I understand how she was not as fun to play after her rework but she was way more bearable to the opposing players. Which is a larger portion. Now she is again WAY less fun to play against, while being slightly more fun to play as. She has way too low risk for such a high reward.

Name has "xayah" in it. HERESY! Call the assassin inquisition!

Also Leblanc was ALWAYS a HIGH risk HIGH reward champion. What the balls are you talking about. If you play xayah and ahri those are LOW risk.

LeBlanc is in a much better spot now.

She has a horrible wavecleaver, so she can't roam without risking losing her tower, late game clear is non existent without her ult, and in general her CS is going to be lackluster compared to other mids. However she has her ability to assassinate back, which is what she's supposed to do.

Contrary to popular belief, she can't just WQR for a kill unless she's already fed. Reason being is that her R sigil is heavily backloaded onto the sigil proc damage, not the initial mark damage, so if she Ws to you, QRs, she needs to hit her E or else she won't do much damage.

Her being able to 100-0 a carry is not a problem, she sacrifices a lot of strengths that other mids have to get this capability, mainly wave clear and team fight potential.

A lb randomly jumped across a wall, qr'd me and went back. I instantly died but I was happy to see something new...even for only a split second.
