Leblanc's spot right now

I know her playstyle changed, but I don't like it..... I used to love her possibly my favorite to play, and after the change she seems so subpar, I came on here to see what other's think it's been a few patches and she's got nothing but a waveclear nerf. I keep trying to play her once in a while but everytime I do it seem's like I could be playing someone else that has the damage to kill but can burst so much faster..... what's your guys thoughts, do burst windows need to be added to other mage's or leblanc's reduced? One person I can think of that does waveclear and bursts faster making her irrelevant is Viktor, but there's plenty more just giving example of what I mean.

when you mimic one of your abilities but havn't used your global yet how do you use it?

I feel the exact opposite. She's much easier to play now since she can mark with any ability. Her E tether seems longer and self-procs passive. Her ult is really confusing to play against, especially if you're trying to dodge E. Q is still busted harass.

She's definitely harder to play against, that's for sure. And with the way her passive works, you're totally free to use W for mobility and not have to dash into melee range to have any kill potential in lane.

Basically, she'll be worse if you play her exactly like old LB because it's similar damage but with more risk/delay. From what I've seen playing against really good Leblancs, they use W primarily for positioning but play a lot more around comboing their E and ult E at medium range to do shitloads of damage, using W return to juke skillshots and keeping enough range to dodge reactive skills (eg Lux Q) without having to disengage.

I had the most trouble playing against a LB who would W > ult E > Q > E again when I was rooted. Also, DFT is pretty strong on her right now, even at early levels, and scales better throughout.
