Her burst damage is what she IS today and was 7 years ago even when her Q had silence that’s fine! It’s what she DOES. But it’s kinda the problem when she can escape every single time even if she just fucks up a little, instead of nerfing her W damage, nerf it’s cooldown and maybe reduce chain range??? Since everything has CDR it would balance her
Two words.
Chain length.
I have better idea how to balance her around the game
D E L E T E THE FKING C H A M P I O N. TADAAAM BALANCED!
In my opinion they should change how her kit works in general. Her W is her main source of damage, mobility and waveclear, there's no point in maxing anything else, wich means that her W will have low cooldown since the early game, because she'll max it first for the reasons I meantioned. So in my opinion, Riot should look for a way to make LB players decide if they want more single target burst or mobility and waveclear, and by saying this I mean finding a way to make maxing Q a good idea, wich would help a lot LB enemies to deal with her, since she wouldn't get so much CD on her mobility spell until the mid game. Just my opinion, and I am not even sure if that would fix her at all, but it's a start.
Finally someone knows the right nerf. Leblanc’s W Cooldown is too low, especially early game. This would allow people to capitalize on her poor farming and actually force her under turret.
Her damage is the same - in a vacuum. But when you factor in runes like Celerity, Comet, Electrocute, Cheap Shot, Coup de Grace, and whatnot, along with the readjustment of mage items to make getting access to Luden's Echo cheaper and more fluid, along with bonus CDR, then no, it's absolutely not the same.
All of us LeBlanc mains on reddit agreed that we want W cooldown reverted to 18 / 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 , it was buffed to 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 when they reverted the rework.This is much more reasonable nerf and ALL of us agreed to this than to W dmg nerf that wont do anything at all.I would like from them to nerf the W cd to how it was not the dmg.
As a Jungle main i pretty much never even bother ganking an enemy's LB lane that is going even or winning because i know she has at the very least one long range jump to get away scot free, and even if i for example use a Vi ult, she will go invisible as punishment for me trying to kill her and split in two with a clone and will either jump again or tether me from which i can't get away from..
But then LeB fanboys will claim it "makes her clunky and unfun", instead of admitting that her original And current state is fundamentally toxic and re-embrace the greatness that was the rework.
Won a game against a 16/0 LeBlanc. Proof she needs buffs
In my opinion, its how long she has to reactivate her dash. The window for her reactivation is long enough that if she dashes to get away from somebody, they might as well just not bother since if you actually pursue her far enough, she can just immediately become double the distance away, which at that point you aren't getting her.
-Leblanc dashes away -If you go after her she reactivates it and gets away
-Leblanc dashes away -If you camp the spot she dashed from, you basically let her go
I understand that this is definitely her main issue
But... I think things like this still need some sort of nerf
She is a rework material.
