Why was LB's instant W reactivation removed...

An Undead brat··4 votes·463 views

...when you said you don't like how she instantly deletes someone and dissapears, but she can't do this anymore?

Like in teamfights there's most of the time NOTHING she can do that running around, when she goes in, she get's CCed and deleted, if she chainst someone, they just instantly engage on her with the same ending - and it's not my positioning fault, because I need to stay in Tether's range and if my team abandon's me (which happens with random people always), then I die or I can only run again and that's the point that I can do nothing. Meanwhile Annie clicks and bursts your 2 allies instantly and you just stand there with nothing you could do.

If she could reactivate W instantly again, there's hope she breaks their team's integrity and does at east something, but this way...

Edit: This might seem like a simple hate, but that's just because I'm a little bit salty, I apologise. Don't let that cover the post's point.

it was removed because she had no counterplay in laningphase. Now you actually have to think before jumping into the entire enemy team, hard isnt it?

it was removed because good positioning is too hard for the average player. Now you can't do your job at all when people group, hard isnt it?

fixed that for you

You really think its fare when i go for cs under tower i deserve to lose half my hp and her not getting punished for it even turrets didnt shoot her because of how fast you go back. You really think an assassin should be able to just jump in the middle of the enemy team do a fuckton of damage and just get out without being punished for it? I brought up a serious balancing problem with the old lb and you just made up some stupid shit that makes no sense

how is that any different from getting the shit poked out of you by Xerath Ziggs Lux Syndra when you try to farm under turret

At least if you're fast enough you can catch Leblanc in her jump or you can aim for her distortion pad

oh you mean getting poked by the champs the you can JUKE, are you for real lb is aoe you cant juke that shit while you can juke all the other champs you just pointed out, even lux e while it is hard to dodge it as a solo hit doesnt take half my hp if i dont let her auto attack me.

you can catch LB, read the second half.

pretty easy for me to do it with Veigar. Really the only meta mage I can think of that can't is Viktor, but he can just W her pad and force her to commit.

Zed's been dealing with a .5 second delay on his Death Mark return for a while now, you'll survive

Other champions (Yi and Katarina come to mind) have to pay attention to when CC goes down. Leblanc can join them.

It's not even that bad of a change, it means you have to be careful when flying into enemy compositions.

I don't think teamfights are meant to be her strength. She's supposed to lay the hurt in on one or two team members, probably the ones without hard and accessible CC, while using her mobility to avoid the enemy stuns and what have you.

Meanwhile, if this is crippling a laning phase, it sounds like maybe Leblanc was too reliant on that in-out dichotomy on her W and needs to talk about diversifying how she trades in lane.

If you're really complaining about leblanc being underpowered now, you're seriously on some heavy drugs. You're playing her wrong you don't need to stay in tether range. w in, q r and then hit e and immediately w back out. The .3 second change shouldn't do anything, and if it is you're seriously playing her incorrectly or go in at the wrong times. You still have plenty of damage to kill somebody and can easily reactivate whenever you want. Sorry you're bronze, if this is a problem you have while playing leblanc, find a new champ.

Underpowered? No, only enemy team reliant.

Edit: Just so you now, I did read only the first sentence, something tells me I should not investigate time into you.

If you're waiting for your chain to reactivate for the stun you're playing leblanc wrong in teamfights probably 90% of the time. Flank, w qre w. or wrqe

If you're peeling you use e twice or if you're catching somebody out. You usually don't want to run into 5 people and wait for your chain to pop though that'll probably get you killed.
