How to deal with reworked LeBlanc as Ekko?

Your Starchild·11/22/2016, 3:51:17 PM·4 votes·3,799 views

I can handle plenty of terrible matchups, but LB seems like one where I simply can't have a laning phase.

So I'm just looking for general tips on how to deal with her. My strategy so far has just been to push wave with q and farm like that. Two timewinders can reliably clear back minions.

But is there any type of counterplay I should be aware of? A lot of her stuff is more telegraphed now, but it seems lb landing her snare is a lot more scary now.

That's about all you could do, just farm with q and play safe. Be sure to keep an eye on her passive and build abyssal scepter first and once you get abyssal and 1 more item you should be good to go. What build do you go?

LeBlanc is utter trash tier. Just rush abyssal, farm with your Q like normal and win.

Oh and if you can't dodge a chain with a dash then sucks to be you, but even without a super low cooldown dash, a fake left or fake right will dodge 90% of those chains.

leblanc counters ekko, my advice is:

Rush zhonyas in case you get caught by chains,

Take cleanse instead of ignite.

Try to anticipate leblancs dashes , use parallel convergence on the spot she dashes from to force her to flash or use her ult-dash when you counter attack her.

Dont try to kill her just survive and keep her in lane so she doesn't go roam to the bot lane.

Always stay by a teammate after the laning phase. leblanc is an assassin and thrives off picking off people that are alone

these are some champs that counter leblanc although its still very hard facing againt her with any champ.:
