Leblanc Rework

First of all, I do love playing LeBlanc. She was one of my favorites before the new patch. I was really good at tricking people and loved playing her. I would all ways do well, even against a Yasuo player, but after the patch I believe they really messed her up. They say that she wasn't tricky enough, that's some BS. I've tricked many of people very easily. So all I have to say is that the new gameplay of LeBlanc sucks and I really wish they bring it back. She wasn't even that powerful to begin with.

I would even challenge a Riot Employee with the old style LeBlanc against the new style LeBlanc and I know that I would win. They made her weaker and slower. That's not fun anymore and you can't TRICK people anymore either. Isnt she the master of tricks????

Thanks Riot, you killed one of my favorite characters.

(BTW FIX THE LAUGHS ON HER ULT ITS SO ANNOYING! Everyone I played with hates how much she laughs. Make her not laugh as much anymore please!)

I agree with most of this. The old leBlanc has a much smoother game play and was extremely more fun to play. Mastering her mechanics was also still pretty hard even if they are easy to reproduce once you have learnt everything.

Before it was about outsmarting your opponent and creating plays, now its about playing safe and rotating spells to output consistent damage. She feels like a ADC. On that note - throughout the game the new LeBlanc has massive problems with fighting adc's 1 vs 1. This makes no sense what so ever (unless you make her skill shots 10x more easier AND SAFER (longer range) to hit) . The new LeBlanc defiantly has its strengths and if mastered can have a massive impact on a SOLO Q game but unfortunately her strengths do not match her old ones and will need to be re learnt by old LeBlanc players which will be frustrating for many of people.

Overall I think she is a completely different champion and should be branded as one. Using LeBlanc as her name will only confuse and upset existing LeBlanc players.

That's my main champion (or I should say that used to be?) and the new rework sucks. Why? Because she is not an assassin anymore, kind of like an AP fighter. Give me a reason for an assassin not to have burst damage. In my point of view, if a champion does not have burst damage, then it is not an ASSASSIN. My definition of assassin is being able to erase someone without giving that guy any reaction time.

You're silver 5 with an 18% win rate, I don't think your knee jerk reaction after playing leblanc once is valid

Leblanc was fuckin cancer and I'm glad they made her harder to play. Best thing they ever did. Now I can stop permabanning her.

I've been playing her and have gotten S almost every game... I think she's actually kinda op right now. Level 2 you take of two thirds of the enemy laners' health.
