Unpopular opinion : New LeBlanc is more toxic than the old one.

Even with the lockouts and delays on her burst, her winrate has increased substantially after only a few weeks, as has her banrate. With her being as high skillcap as she is, it's only going to steadily increase as more people get used to her new playstyle and figure out optimal ways to use her.

She has so many options in lane, not only to harass and kill her opponent, but also to farm with near impunity, and can outpush almost any mage from early on.

The only way for her to actually be balanced in her current state is to receive a lot of heavy nerfs to her damage, utility, and mana costs to bring her in line with the other champions. Her laning early game is just disgusting, as is her mid game roaming potential.

So the option is either heavily nerf her existing kit, or revert the rework. Otherwise, she will remain a permanent ban for the entirety of season 7. I know most people don't care, and would be happy, but some of us actually like her.

Ah, hello again. Well the downvotes are justified. I remember when leblanc appeared in the tournament scenes, nobody played her until faker did. To be flat, **nobody mains her **intensively- and only thinks her pre-rework kit was strong because of the non-counterplay WQR, which is posssibly the most superficial part in her kit. Since they cant do it anymore, these people think she is completely unviable.

As the goal of the assassin rework was, riot wants assassins to play consistant throughout the game. Although this sounds nice, an assassins goal is to KILL, not take towers or make dps. But one must question how on earth making this consistant is going to make this game healthy? Like look at rengar and this new leblanc. Well, Im having fun since I need to think about the risks and am compelled to commit, but once you get used...consistant at killing a person 100% is going to warp the game.
