I was leblanc and we both had 6 items build. I had 2,3k hp and only 700 AP
Seems legit when building hp is more AP than building straight damage
edit: his build got him 480 AP + 1200 health (no runes, or extra AP just raw AP from items) while mine gave me 430 AP + 0 health
Serevas3 votesWell let's look at your builds
LB: 
Brand: 
Gee I wonder why he had more AP than you when he built zero defensive items and items that had more AP to them anyway. They had two dragons, which ones? Was one of them infernal perhaps?
Let's look at the base values. 100 from Rod, 100 from Rylais, 120 from deathcap, 80 from Liandry's, and 80 from Void staff. Totals at 480 without runes, masteries, dragons, etc.
100 from Morello, 120 from Deathcap, 80 from void staff, 70 from Zhonyas, 0 from Banshee's Veil. Totals at 370. If you needed a defensive item you should have gone Abyssal, it would have given you the CDR cap and some further MR shred at the very least.
superfire4441 votesI had abyssal but brand one shot me through that..... and stil he has more effective health even when i have more resistances
Serevas1 votesMaybe you shouldn't have been trying to burst the brand? I don't recall what other champions were in the game, but idk, with that much hp you're not going to blow him up.
idk though I'm just a normal playing pleb, but with that much hp I'd have avoided brand like the plague.
superfire4441 votesThats my point... why bother with my build when brands build has more tankyness and damage....
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesThats my point... why bother with my build when brands build has more tankyness and damage....
lol ok so if you both built the exact same items he will still have more ap then you at lvl 18
why you ask?
LEBLANC does not scale Brand does LEBLANC is all about pre lvl 7 if she gets feds and get items and gets ahead she cant be stopped. if she is even or behind after lvl 7 she will not scale late and will not have the damage output of other ap mid champs. thats the trade off you get when you take a an early game dominate champ.

superfire4441 votesIm laughing so hard right now at this bullshit.
First of all AP is only bought not a scaleable stat like AD so your first point doesn't make sense.
Secondly you never played leblanc. She is super strong mid game if you don't fuck up csing because she will assassinate all the squishies. Lategame too but it's more difficult since teams are grouped. Her damage doesn't fall off unless you're massively behind. Leblanc scales super hard into late game but most people don't know how to play her in the lategame.

Q: MAGIC DAMAGE: 55 / 80 / 105 / 130 / 155 (+ 40% AP) E: MAGIC DAMAGE: 85 / 125 / 165 / 205 / 245 (+ 60% AP) W: MAGIC DAMAGE: 40 / 65 / 90 / 115 / 140 (+ 50% AP) R: MIMIC: SIGIL OF MALICE MAGIC DAMAGE: 100 / 200 / 300 (+ 60% AP) Mimic- Distortion MIMIC: DISTORTION MAGIC DAMAGE: 150 / 300 / 450 (+ 90% AP) Mimic- Ethereal Chains MIMIC: ETHEREAL CHAINS MAGIC DAMAGE: 100 / 200 / 300 (+ 60% AP)
Q: MAGIC DAMAGE: 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 / 200 (+ 55% AP)
E: MAGIC DAMAGE: 75 / 120 / 165 / 210 / 255 (+ 60% AP)
W: MAGIC DAMAGE: 70 / 90 / 110 / 130 / 150 (+ 35% AP)
R: MAGIC DAMAGE: 100 / 200 / 300 (+ 25% AP)
lets say the both have 100 ap
Q would do 55+40=90 at one rank Q would do 80+55=135 at one rank
Q would do 155+40 = 195 at max rank Q would do 200+55= 255 at max rank
a difference of 60AP
as you can see by the base damage per rank has lower scaling through out the game as she levels up abilites. this is not accounting for brands passive/or dot damage. on their 3 basic abilties brand has higher scaling on all 3 and higher ap ratio on Q equal on E and less on w but having higher base damage.
this shows the scaling of the abilties per rank
soo yes i guess i must be stupid.
superfire4441 votesYou are stupid because you forgot her Q can be procced for another Q damage.... basically you need to double her Q damage and scaling so it's higher than brands
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesYou are stupid because you forgot her Q can be procced for another Q damage.... basically you need to double her Q damage and scaling so it's higher than brands
man you got me you played the far superior champ and still lost, still got out damaged. hmm sooo stupid
Serevas1 votesBecause Brand can afford to play the scaling game where LeBlanc needs to do things earlier and affect other lanes. Brand can just wait for team fights and ult to blow up the entire team.
Vistha Kai2 votesYou did get a and .
That alone made you have at least 90 AP less than him.
superfire4441 votes
was swapped for thats how I come to 430 vs 480 AP
Marshbouy2 votesYep. He had no resistances. Get your ADC to hit him with 3 shots and he's dead.
Dynikus1 votesI don't understand what your point is. Yes, building ap and health items will give you ap and health. Are you going to complain that jhin had more ad than you, or sion had more mr and armor than you?
Also your build gave you 500 ap, 300 health, 70 mr, 45 armor, and 400 mana. his build gave him 648 ap, 1200 health, and 400 mana.
Calabok1 votesyou just suck and probably let him ult you when your passive engaged.
Reikken1 voteslooking at the posts below, we can compare
brand's build advantages: health, slow, DoT your build advantages: CDR, resists, defensive abilities
The main differences here are CDR and resists vs health. If you don't value CDR, don't build it.
