Can you give LB's Ethereal chains ANY counterplay.

You literally can't even flash out of them they're so fucking long and the hitbox is so easy you can't dodge them. Absolutely retarded.

the skillshot is actually pretty narrow, and they have nerfed the range on the skill so many times now. The skill does not even slow any more and people still complain about it.

I logged in for this.

I main Lux. I decided last season that I would instant ban LB any time I went mid as lux. It doesn't matter who the FotM is. It doesn't matter if Zed or Fizz or Kassadin is strong. Rengar or Kha'zix could 100-0 me all game.

I do not want to fight a champ who has 1 skillshot that is only ever cast in lane when they are right in front of me. I don't want to fight a champ that needs to land a skillshot to CC me, but has a blink (possibly 2) to get right in my face and do it.

Zed has to land skillshots or commit, and he pops up behind me with ult. I can counterplay. Rengar gives notice when he's ulting, or requires bushes to be effective. counterplay. Kha lacks CC and has to commit, counterplay. Most, if not all assassins have some form of counterplay that, while maybe not effective once fed, I can still reliably use to escape, hinder, or kill them. NOT Lb.

If I combo her and fail to kill her, I'm rewarding with a time period of me NOT seeing her, then I deal with trying to figure out which is the real her for an important fraction of a moment, just so I can TRY to kill her if she hasn't used up her gaps.

I'd rather Season 3 Kassadin, than LB.

It isn't that long compared to other champions that can root you, like Lux, Morgana, Karma, etc. And theirs can't be moved out of at all, at least LeBlanc's gives you a chance. Sure if she hits it while close or from her distortion spot it is hard, but it can be blocked by minions, and moved out of too. LeBlanc players shouldn't be punished for landing it, it has a moderate cooldown and is part of her combo. There are champions that can avoid this like Ahri Katarina Fizz .

If you really can't bare getting hit by it, wait for a minion to hide behind.

Its actually can be dodged. :
Range is big but it is possible to get out. Especially if you have mobility or can give LB CC or some beating.

You guys need to stop complaining and start learning how to dodge a tiny ass chain. Downvote me to hell, I said what I said idc

I agree with the range part, but its actually one of the smallest hitboxes in the game.

Can we actually give Kindred counterplay towards op junglers? Such as this little shit MonkeyKing

Pika Fox7/3/2018, 4:55:42 PM5 votes

Yeah, dodge. Her skillshot isnt that easy to land. Her Q and W are far bigger issues than her E.

Hi. My names Jim. Jim the caster minion. And I will use my bidy body to block literally any skillshot I can.

Some Noob Dude7/11/2018, 12:43:53 PM2 votes

Slow skillshot that can be blocked by minions. Yup, "no counterplay".

Bisaknosp7/3/2018, 3:50:47 PM2 votes

Leti Antrax7/4/2018, 8:03:08 AM2 votes

I wish you could have known the S4 LB, her chains slowed and the sigil when was popped it silenced.

But yeah I agree with the lenght of her chains once they land can hugely extend without any counter.

Tiny hitbox would be a factor if she didn't have 2 gapclosers which make it almost impossible to miss unless the enemy has 500 movement speed. They revert her to her broken state and have the audacity to leave her E with that retarded post-rework range. It used to be so much smaller when she was released. It needs nerfs and I have seen just 2 LBs in last few months, but even those 2 times were more than enough.
