Leblanc was an assassin, and should be reworked as an assassin

Hear me out. Assassins do not need to wield sharp knives and daggers, they do not need to look like that were born to slaughter. The scariest assassins are the ones you do not see coming. They are the ones who blend in perfectly with society.

Assassins stalk from the shadows, planning their next move and being one step ahead of their prey. When opportunity presents itself, they leap in for the kill. I feel that this is how Leblanc should be played. The assassin rework reworked her into a mage (what?)

The Swain VGU is incredible and I'm confident Riot will deliver more great things in the future but I just wanted to point out that Leblanc is primarily an assassin. We Leblanc mains fell in love with her assassin playstyle but everytime anybody said anything about her they would get downvoted to hell. Yes she was very unhealthy and a good Leblanc was impossible to counter. But it's been over a year and a half since the rework and I think Leblanc deserves some attention now.

LB is currently in an insanely strong space. She's just not popular because killing without trading kills is a learned skill with her. People who know how to play her go 20/2 even in Plat +

Unlike Zoe, she has Guaranteed high damage, because 80% of the damage is in her passive, and it applies on every skill. So it doesn't matter what skill you lead with and follow with, Her passive is going to proc.

So long as they make Leblanc actually look like she’s attacking you and not appearing next to you then I’m fine.

Seriously, this annoys me the most about her. She just seems to appear next to me standing like nothing happened and my health bar is chunked.
