LeBlanc Nerfs 7.5

These changes where needed. LeB was not just a bully. She would Q>W>E>Ignite>Pop E kill you at lvl 3 unless you stayed well under turret until lvl 12 when you MAY have the HP to survive that. She is like Zeds lvl 6 but at lvl 3

Considering masteries changes and her W gutting, I even doubt she can bully someone in lane.

I mean, that's how I'm going to play her (if I'll still play her instead of going for Ahri): starting Q, then putting 2 points on W, getting 5% cdr from masteries, scaling cdr glyphs and going for Q>E>W.

In lane I doubt I'll poke much because W cd is ridicolously high early game and also since I'm forced to get cdr quints to have a chance to roam or survive a gank, I'll have less MR so worse trades against AP opponents.

Tl;dr: playing her safer and waiting for ganks/lucky roams like every mage that spikes mid game.

I think she will. Her W is loosing 40% of ap and over 100 base dmg at level 18. And her ult when she uses W with it. She will be played less when the patch comes.

She's in need for a really, really big nerf. She's WAY too strong.

But this is not the way to do it. It's Rickless who is balancing her (The same guy who removed Nidalee's AA Resets), every balance change he does is boring and does nothing but ruin the experience of the champion. There were ways to balance Nidalee around her AA resets, in the same way there are ways to balance LB without gutting her primary ability.

They are forcing Le Blanc to max Q instead of W.

I think Riot realized, oh shit we can't balance someone with the potential to dash 4/6 times in a fight and just said fuck it.

I would've preferred a nerf to her E's range rather than her damage. She doesn't need that much range on a tether that a person can't break because she has 2 dashes and flash.
