When you fall behind as LeBlanc..
I've been playing LeBlanc.. a lot of LeBlanc. The thing is - she's great at carrying when you win your lane, but it feels like LB has by far the absolute biggest disadvantage and the smallest chance of success if she falls even the slightest bit behind. Already LB is like a ticking clock where you have a small window in the game to make any kind of impact, and if you fall behind you don't even get that opportunity.
In games where I end up getting jungle ganked or make a miscalculation and give up first blood, I want to alt f4 right then and there because that pretty much signifies the end of any possible impact I can make. If the opponent is like Zed or Yasuo.. lol. If it's Syndra, you can't even step in lane or she presses R and deletes you without needing any other spells. And so on and so on. Once it gets to the point your entire combo does less than 40% of their HP, yet a single spell of theirs cuts 1/4 your HP, what the hell are you supposed to do??
Almost always, they will use that gold to rush MR, at which point if you try to trade, you'll always lose, and if you farm, you get harassed out of lane. If you try to roam you're too weak to do anything, and if the mid lane follows you get blown up because LeBlanc is made of tissue paper. Obviously, this causes a snowball effect on every other lane when that mid goes and ganks everyone, and inevitably ends in 4 people flaming you because 'only scrubs lose lane as LB'. If you lose to Annie and she goes out of lane, you can ping spam all you want that she's missing, it won't stop your team flaming you when she leaves lane and kills your adc, and there is nothing you can do to stop her, because she can be waiting in any bush to surprise you with a tibbers stun and instant death.
When teamfights roll around and LB is behind, it feels like doing -anything- will just get you killed since you do zero damage without items, and you have to jump right in people's face to do anything anyway. Even a fed LB dies in 2 hits, so a LB that is feeding will just die immediately. I try to split push at this point, when my entire team flames me for not jumping in teamfights and getting instantly blown up instead.
Almost always, without fail, an early death on LB leads to automatic loss and 4 reports from your team.
How do you not completely give up after a mistake in lane as LB?
