The damage drop is quite noticeable. I main her and it hurts her waveclear - what used to oneshot now leaves all the minions with a sliver of HP giving potential to miss CS.

Obviously it hurts her trading in lane as well.

She instant killed my graves who was at half health in his jungle at level 4. Then immediately after she walked back into lane and did the same thing to me. I really doubt the nerf impacted her for anything other than csing.

What's wrong with that?

An assassin is supposed to pick off low-health targets easily.

At level 4, apparently.

Every midlaner has enough spell damage to 50->0 a squishy target at lvl 4 to be honest, it's nothing new or special

I still don't see the problem.

Lol that's one way of putting it. Her waveclear might as well not be waveclear anymore imo.

Let me just remind you that waveclear was something Leblanc did not have before the rework, and something her mains did not really want.

W?

W?

Just parroting what I've heard, but I believe they'd need to double W to waveclear, which 1) only works after lvl 6, and 2) leaves a ~20 second window where she has no R.

u can hit the whole wave with w.

Or just q the wave after cause that's how her passive works?

she can hardly 100-0 you without waiting for the passive proc...so ya it does take long enough for you to react now

Yeah, you can flash.. thats it, cause once that chain hits, you aint going to get out of it

Slythion1 votes

If you have a dash or cleanse then ya your fine as well, although leblanc's chain is a well-known bs ability atm so meh, you did exaggerate 3/4 of the points you made pretty heavily though

Sorry where can I find the nerfs?

In the patch notes with every other nerf ever

This is really so true, Leblanc and all the other Assassins are still overpowered, I really don't know why they nerfed Rengar Rengar to absolute shit, quite unfair, but still Kha'Zix Khazix is broken. Along with the other Assassins, alrighty riot.. Good Job.

People always saying how her e one shots and how it is broken, they realise that one e from leblanc = 4 stages of damage. First e proc, 2nd e proc, which procs passive which procs thunderlords, and the likelyhood of leblanc using a w and q while that e damage is getting set up is probably pretty high, If anything the masteries are to blame for this damage overload.

And the Passive dmg nerf is very noticeable on her

One among many reasons I'd love to see Keystones fly out the window when the mastery tree gets it's overhaul this season. IMO, would make balancing in the long-run a bit easier.

Athron1 votes

Yeah, I hate these new keystones and mastery system. Hope it will die someday

ScarletSurgeon2 votes

As far as I know her passive counts to the few damage sources that doesnt proc thunderlords. It doesn't work like lux passive. But I might be wrong :)

Next you'll want her ult to cost mana, jeez!
