Anyone remember Trickster's Glass? LeBlanc would really take advantage of it

Anyone remember the theory that J4 is really LeBlanc in disguise? And LeBlanc's supposed niche is trickery and deception? I feel like a future rework of LeBlanc could be really interesting if she would take the appearance of a random member of either team, this disguise immediately breaking if she gets hit or uses her own spells.

Spitball idea, what do you think?

Leblanc would be like the Spy from TF2 and I love it! It would be like the "Your Eternal Reward" knife where if you kill someone with it, you disguise as that person and the kill doesn't show up in the kill feed.

However, since there are less people in a League game, the someone can just tell his team that that is not the real them so communication would shut Leblanc down pretty easily especially in pro play.

I think that it will slow down reaction speed just a bit, your brain wouldn’t have a little panic warning if you saw a teammate right?

Pretending to look like your tank or support so they don't focus you, and then go like SURPRISE IT'S ME LB!

It's a good way to confuse the enemies on who to really focus, or not focus...

If the supp is squishy enough they'll be (or should be) focused (depending on the supp ofc)

As a Lulu main, can confirm.

I like the idea.. but it seems a little broken. Turning into a 0-4 vayne walking into bot lane and popping out as an 8-0 leblanc would be slightly... broken in this meta. I think the idea would still be pretty good to implement.

Ability idea is cool (wouldnt mind champion wiht this) but le blanc should be done with changes for a while

I dont want her to get AZIRED

Ehmo NO... NO no NO noNO NONONOO NOOOOOOOOO

Maybe if we swap Her RR with it

But at taht point she can still copy herself and you are just adding extra power

this is what mages need instead of a 100 ap item with 20% cdr and shit ton of other stuff and all the other items doing the exact same thing

Disguising yourself as an enemy would be pretty pointless.

"Oh WW is coming to gank for me! Wait, WW is farming gromp. Oh right, Leblanc."

Maybe the clone could temporarily take the ally off the minimap like Noc ult?

Cool for the player, uncool for the enemy team.

So take away her Shadow Clone jutsu and give her a Transformation jutsu?

I liked trickster's glass, it was quite fun masquerading as my friendly ADC and then BOOM its actually darius.

The ability could be most likened to the Spy from Team Fortress 2, but the issue is in Team Fortress 2 the tradeoff for your instant kill attack and ability to diguise/go invisible is your incredibly low health bar and inability to defend yourself against more heavily armed opponents (i.e. The Soldier or Heavy). The MOBA formula is very different from the First Person Shooter one, so while an ability like a disguise would work in Team Fortress 2 I do not believe it would work so well in League. It being busted or useless would remain to be seen, but I think with some tweaking the idea could be made into something usable.
