As much as I like the old leblanc

I still feel that her new ult is waaay better. I don't mean the clone casting the same ability stuff, nor the RR combo for that matter, but having it work like heimer's ult where u ult and then choose the ability u want to use and not just have it cast the ability previously casted feels so much better.I have played both versions of LB quite a bit and I just thought I'd put that out there

The reworked ultimate is problematic because it allows you to pretty much always have a dash available to escape ganks. With how the old ultimate works, if you go in w, q for a trade you have no dash available for 10 sec. (Because ult would imitate q)

But if you keep your ult to copy W and get away, then you won't get the kill unless you are fed enough that a WEQ w/ mark kills the enemy, but that point, it's game over, so you need to use RE or RQ to kill, which means you won't have RW to get away, but if you keep RW to get away, you don't get the kill.

Do any of you actually play LeBlanc against people who at least try to deal with her instead of taking all the WQ poke early and dying at level 3?

Well, with her previous kit, she'd cast qw

In which case she walked into that range, and it was extremely telegraphed what she would do.

Sometimes. It was far safer to go for e-q and sit at Max snare range. Also I saw/did alot of weq.

Which was rarely how you'd win lane (mostly talking from the times she still had her silence); a QW combo did high damage, was fast, and did not give an opportunity for a trade. Using w to set up for E would take too long (trading for range).

It depends on the matchup and skill level of the opponent. If you went for w into someone with cc you just got stunned and chunked. Cause they just hit you mid dash. Especially after the dash speed Nerf. Early lane it could work but post six it was all qr and fishing with you e.

Don't bother. AzuBK said that pressing 2 buttons is too hard, so there is nothing we can do.

Meh, it is not really satisfying for a champ that supposed to be an assassin. Her old ult is way better.

Then new ultimate is too powerful. Before you only had access to one ability at any given time. So combos were more limiting. And it allowed other players to play around it because they knew what you were going to do with your ultimate at any given time. (should you choose to ult) I like that they are changing it.
