Now that Rengar got his Q back, can we get our Old Leblanc back too?

It's about time, we Leblanc Main have suffered long enough. Can we just please get our precious Leblanc back? There's is no need for argument there are plenty of them and you should know by now how much the changes just fucked her up over the years.

I would rather she get the Ryze treatment and they just give up on trying to tinker with her kit and just give her a VGU already. She looks really shitty compared to new Swain now, you can't even take her seriously. She's supposed to the be counter power in Noxus to Swain, as well as his weird lover, but now she definitely looks her age compared to him.

Don't even talk about Ryze, he is aweful in solo queue but still played in world. That's a horrible rework.

But it's still his most stable rework to date.

She actually doesn't Love Swain, she use him nothing more nothing less. Just like her title of Deceiver.

Umm no . Killing a person in less then a sec and having 0 counter play is healthy how?

Slepur4 votes

There's plenty of other champs in the game that do that exact thing but they seem to find that to be an issue? It makes no sense to gut one assassin WHO IS MEANT TO DELETE THE SQUISHIES but leave the others untouched.

The problem with old LB is that she could do it in less than 1 seconds,but unlike most champion she could wait 5 seconds and do it again. Instead of QQing how better the old LB was,might be good to put that time and energy into thinking how to make better,but not unhealthy to play against.

What if I told you skilled le blanc still one shots under 0.4 seconds without passive procing. From 1400 range if nessesary

Rework didnt excatly change that. They just raised skillcap on an already high skillcap champion. And nowdays you ll see maybe 2 players on each server knowing how to delete so fast with Le blanc

I would take playing against current LB than the old LB any day of the week.

The current LB might have higher damage ouput,it's more delayed and harder to play.Old LB was strong in the in the hands of mediocore players.

Is current LB in a good spot? She could be better,is she healthier than old LB ? 100%

Old Lb was also hard to play here are examples

Old kite Combo Q>E>R>Q>W Old chase Combo Q>W>E>R>Q Old dive combo W>R>Q>E Short oneshot Combo W>Q>R>E Wait in fog one shot E>Q>R>W

you constantly had to decide between Q>E and E>q

E>Q had higher E hitrate because you were using it earlier so enemy had lower alert level Q>E had higher burst damage

Both combos would do the same damage in 1.5 seconds. You had to know which one to choose all the time in big combos

Old hear a sound and try to save a clone mindset or thats a mindset I would reccomend (Oh boy did i have some insane jukes wish they were recorded)

Expecting when le blanc passive ll go off and macroing the clone was really hard. Even old Le blanc clone could do base damage assuming it threw an AA as it was dying

And this is just 20 % Of Old Le blanc skill I could keep going

But yeah I prefer new Le blanc but only by a bit

Old Lb was almost as insane as current lb in hands of immense player

Current Le blanc requires specific build knowledge which is something Old lb never had

I wouldn't really say that old Leblanc was hard. She was pretty easy to be good at but did have a high skill cap. I played probably hundreds of games on her before the rework. But playing her in the late game was quite the challenge.

Highest I have ever ranked is silver 1. But I don't really play ranked tbh. I typically played against gold's pretty regularly. That being said, her combos were not difficult to pull off consistently. And deciding which one wasn't really hard either. The issue with old LB and why she was balanced is that she had a terrible actually team fighting post 20 minutes. Making it past the front line to blow up a squishy without getting cced first and dying plus landing chains (which was required post dfg removal) was really hard.

They changed LeBlanc for a reason; so they probably aren't going back, it wasn't fun to get one-shot in very little time by her rotation.

They are are changing rengar back and they changed kog back. Just because riot makes a change does not mean it is the right thing to do.

Fairyfleur8 votes

They didn't fully revert Rengar, did they?

Doozku3 votes

Not saying I support a full leblanc revert, just adding to the discussion

They did revert the part of rengar that let him oneshot.

Fairyfleur2 votes

He still gives the overlay and warning from a mile away right? If they removed that I'd have a problem but you still get notified when he's trying to kill you.

Skorch1 votes

They actually also reduced the range you are warned, the range he finds you, and increased his ult movespeed.

Sexy Jack Rabbit1 votes

Didn't they gut his Jump range though? It's literally half what it used to be.

Doozku1 votes

Nope. They made it so he lands on top of his target instead of infront since he no longer has the skillshot Q. His leap range is untouched.

If she gets her silence back we revert Kassadin too! [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

I would like to see the chaos that would create to be honest...I wouldn't like to play it but.... just imagine Kassa jumping around 500miles a jump and silencing everything with presence of mind active the whole time... holy

I wouldn't consider it unrealistic given the random ass buffs they did (galio, nunu).

Daunt2 votes

Hell no. What would be the point of picking any other assassin, or even mage, if LB got her old burst window back? They said that they didn't want to rework her but that she'd be too good comparing to other assassins if her burst window got untouched. While i agree that her delays weren't implemented that well, reverting her is not the way to go either.

Old Malz didn't become invincible every 10 seconds, so you could actually punish him in lane for auto-shoving.

DeadUnborn2 votes

she needs a VGU rather, her model is shit, she has tons of potential and her current kit desgin is cancer. You can't have a healthy kit on a burst champion that has to nuke dashes than can be called back to original position and a hard CC, that shit aint nowere near fair when viable

New LeBlanc isn't bad in design It just requires you to stand next to a 3 item vayne for over 1.5 seconds in order to assassinate her And this alone makes her completely useless any rank above gold

Champion with immense highskillcap useless above gold XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Dont make me laugh holy shit

Edit: I am getting downvoted? XDDDD You people do realise that her winrate and tier goes up the higher you go XD just check lolalytics people

Its the opposite if you are gold player she is useless in gold

LeBlanc really doesn't have a high skillcap

Le blanc is the only champion in League history to be nerfed multiple times while she had 45% WINRATE

BECAUSE SHE WAS FKING OP AT 45% WINRATE. AT MULTIPLE TIMES

SO if people CANT FKING PLAY HER PROPERLY TO A POINT WHERE SHE IS AT 45% WINRATE WHILE BEING OP SHE STRICTLY HAS IMMENSE SKILLCAP

Even if we leave the stats out of a way

Fine then name me her 30 core combos. I wont even get in proper juke excecution, proper aim (Yes Le blanc has proper aim specially with R>ABILITY) proper RR macro play, proper speed, Proper build which is something 99.999999999999999999% players fail at

If you view Le blanc as something which you ACTUALLY THINK YOU LL EVER MASTER There is a chance that you have terminal cancer and you should check it up

Azir and Ryze would like to have a word with you.

Azir did that once

As far as ryze Goes Idk. I didnt keep a track of his data in detail

I would assume ryze perhaps did it twice

Judging by data LB is hardest to master champion in league. But I would say she is even with yas and riven

Top 3 IMO are Riven Yasuo Le blanc

Ryze is in top 10. Azir is in top 10 for reference

But ryze is the last remaining highskillcap champion I didnt master. (Mainly because he keeps getting reworked so I get discouraged) But I think I have a good grasp on his potentional
