I want some thoughts and suggestions on this, feel free to develop it further or post your original ideas!

Leblanc should definitely stay a viable assassin, and should have the mobility and trickery that makes her Leblanc. I think the focus should be on the timings. The timing on her passive is fine; it leaves the enemy some room to do something, without being too long for her own comfort with her 4 second ports. I think the focus should be on the chain timings. Her chains as of now are 1.5 seconds, which is exactly the same as her passive. If the timing of her chains are raised, it'll encourage an early proc with her Q. This makes her Q more valuable, can help her passive chain in team fights if she's being played by a pro, and also nerfs her chain so that you have to sacrifice or use your ult as a second port.

Keep the fun parts of her kit, and nerf variables if needed. A great buff I'd like to see with it is that an ult ports lasts out longer. This means people can use it more wisely, which is especially helpful if her chain timings are raised.

I disagree on the passive, but agree on the idea. The Passive was a huge band-aid to trying to fix Leblanc's kill time. Not sure how the Leblanc mains feel, but pretty sure they'd also prefer power back into W, though that's hard to do since it was a large contributer to the old kill time problem. If anything, I'd move her passive around, tie it into her slipperiness.

Mayhap something around the idea like "Landing E will start a timer. Letting the timer run out, E snares and deals the initial damage again. Porting back to W's return point will detonate it early, dealing the damage instead." That type of idea, though it's specifics may vary.

Throw some variation and dual use. Can be used for kiting or mayhap a faster burst period, depending on the situation. Maybe tie in Leblanc's old passive to W as well, returning makes a clone spawn, or something.

The passive is very stupid. It's the most hated part of the rework and I think it should be the first to go. It's so uniteractive and clunky. It dosnt make her feel like a deciver it makes her feel like a clunky control mage. Riot plz make no 1.5 seconds. Counter play can be added in much better areas and the first u should do is get ride of this stupid unwanted wave clear

This probably seems very insignificant, but perhaps changing the e proc time to 1.49 seconds and buffing something else? It forces you to use other abilities to get that passive proc. Anyway, just a small idea.
