LeBlanc Assassin Rework (A Renaming)

I feel as though LeBlanc mains have taken a huge downgrade with the new reworked LeBlanc. An assassin that was literally the QUEEN of instakill is now a squishy mage that can barely kill her target within a 8 second window. The key words in the previous sentence are "squishy mage". LeBlanc, because of the "Assassin" rework, should now be considered a control mage and removed from the Assassin roster because she is a tricky mage that uses illusions, mobility, and cc to zone her lane; note damage is not stated because she does not have any.

As a previous LeBlanc main, waiting a full 6 seconds for my damage output that does not even come close to killing my target, feels bad. Especially when Katarina can turn around and instakill me with her full combo. Counterplay.

Now the champion can't even kill an out of position ADC without an ult. Oh and the ADC was also attacking the clone too, and still won.

GG.

Good hated how at lvl 3 that champ could take 3/4 of my hp with no real way to respond

I think I'm giving up on the champ because of this. She's been one of my mains and I just don't like her new play style. I must disagree with her lack of damage because she still has it. However, I think it is poorly distributed. It's all on her ult and passive. Most the time it's better to not use any spells after proc'ing her passive. (Besides her q since it's cd is the same as the passives)

I will wait and see how people learn to use her as well as if riot plans to change anything on her. I have seen some lbs do great things but I feel like it's because people aren't respecting her passive damage especially with her chain. I am trying to test out her skills now too but I just don't think I can grow to like her new play style even if it ends out being good.

Since it's only been a few days it's been on live server for all to try, I will give it a few weeks or so and see what happens.
