My Leblanc playrate dropped drastically after her rework and I used to be a Leblanc main

taleofsonata··3 votes·859 views

I had high mastery points with her but with every patch and every match I just got tired of playing her. She is just boring and gimmicky. She used to be the work of art but the changes on her made her just a clunky champion.

Now she is getting nerfed and will go below azir winrate. Probably the new azir champion.

She had low winrate before but was reward good Leblanc players with high winrate.

Weren't you talking about her playrate and not her winrate ?

The thing that you don't seem to understand is that before there wasn't alot of Leblanc player and the Leblanc player that actually plays her Define her full potential. She isn't an easy champion to master and that is why her playrate wasn't high. For me personally I don't like the new Leblanc, I might win most of my games with her but she isn't appealing gameplay wise because there is alot of balance shift around her.

So previous Leblanc was easier to play than new Leblanc ?

No the previous Lb was harder to play than the new Lb, now the New Leblanc is all about having a passive that does everything for her. Hit one skill shot and there you are rewarded with billion damage from your passive.

So you say new LB is easier than old LB Then why the drop in playrate ? Maybe she gets banned a lot so her playrate is less ?

Didn't you read what I said? She is gimmicky and clunky, she is slower than the old Leblanc, She requires you to press R Twice when old Leblanc can just Q,R,W,R,E,R. Old Leblanc could do WQRE, new Leblanc can't do that, the new leblanc is missing alot of her old combos.

So is the new 1 harder or not ? Just clunky and easy with more dmg ?

I'm sorry you missed a point-&-click QR combo.

I thought her rework was considered a success, even if it made her a bit too mage-like.

Why do you think it was bad?

Her rework isn't a success, because remember before that Riot said they will never nerf her Damage even if the whole community complains about it. It's because it is the only hint that revealed how strong she was in her Lore. Now they are breaking their promise and are actually nerfing her damage. Which should lead to a revert rework if the problem persist.

@thread As a pre-rework malzahar main... Hush up and let riot work on older problems first >_> LB is still an assassin and is getting waveclear buffs at least.

Her W is getting nerf and for such the compensation goes back to her Q.

Shatter orb is still a great waveclear tool even now, and with it getting a 40% buff... itl be even better.
