LeBlank needs a nerf

Unrelenting4ce·Mar 25, 2015·8 votes·813 views

LeBlanc still needs a nerf. Sure her sigil of malice doesnt silence anymore but she still needs a nerf. She can escape anything. You give a champ 5 flashes, a bunch of burst damage, and a passive thats annoying as hell then something is wrong. Make her cooldowns longer or something she is just too op of a champ. I know if you have someone who can stun her then she will ahve trouble in lane but she is just still too op. she can escape anything and burst down anyone. She needs a nerf.

Given how much you can spam her distortion and her burst potential using only Q and R, I think it would be fair to add a short delay before she can cast and recast distortion to expand on the counter playing available against her.

This actually makes sense. She would still be able to get back anyways, but it wouldn't be a test of how fast you could do your combo, or whether you are playing on a potato.

They should at least make her Q a skillshot so she doesnt have to point and click and burst you down with W.

she needs base damage nerfs to stop the unmitigated W+Q lane harass, and slightly increased scaling to hurt tanks when 6items. if you lower her ratios too much she wont be able to combo back liners, but where they are now is ok.

the major concern here is when she gets ahead in the laning phase (which is crazy easy to do), and a team just lacks the cc/tools to actually deal with a leblanc at which point the game is over unless leblanc slips up.

how about you wait about 12 more hours for her current nerf for 5.6 to go live them reevaluate the situation.

asking for a nerf to a champ that has just been nerfed with the patch notes up and the patch due tomorrow seems excessive to me

Take away her burst damage and she becomes literally useless.

Like actually does nothing.

Burst damage is all she does. Her cc is outclassed, her waveclear is outclassed, she's not a tanky frontline mage, and she's not a support mage. All she would do is run around the map with high mobility. Mobility on it's own is pretty worthless. It's why movespeed rammus (boots of mobility +5 zeals) doesn't work in competitive. Moving quickly doesn't mean anything if you don't do anything else besides run around.

I'm not convinced her CC is outclassed. For one thing, it's a linear skillshot snare, with a very long cast range and an even longer tether range (longer than Karma's as well as longer ranged than every single one of Brand and Orianna's spells)

She doesn't need her burst damage to be removed, just to have it be not so easy to land. Didn't they do the same thing to Veigar recently? And for literally the same exact reason?

Leblanc's combo is usually either WQRE or QRWE... half of which is point-and-click. It wouldn't make her unplayable to actually have to work for her Qs to land, or for her W radius to be smaller.

What if they made her less mobile? Just make it so she doesnt go back and forth all over the map or include a cooldown so she has to wait before teleporting all over the place.

she's literally being nerfed right now. Patch 5.6.

did you read the notes? thats -200 damage at best at which point she still full combos the back line for overkill anyway. they aren't hurting her BASE damages so shes still a huge lane threat and roam threat.
