Apparently catching someone with literally 4 free flashes is so easy she needs to also go invisible whenever she gets low hp..... does this actually make sense to anyone?
Edit - The point isnt that the stealth is what makes her op. The point is that someone with that much instant mobility should not have ANOTHER get out of jail free card in a stealth before she dies.
TasteTheirFear22 votesyea, she's a fragile assassin, so they gave her escape mechanics. If she uses her W to escape, she ain't doing damage. Too bad she has low cd and mana costs on them though. THAT is the problem
hgjkdlsaf jeldvb1 votesshe can do damage and still use w to escape... It's called reactivating the spell.

- Except for the fact she doesn't have a delay (SoonTM) and she can just return the moment she hits her area making it hard to retaliate
Don't get in range for her to Q-W and her damage is paltry. LeBlanc isn't even that powerful, bad players just don't know how to stay away from her zone of control. Push the lane, make her use her W to clear, and then you can get some nearly free harass off.
If she's playing hyperaggressive and making you miss farm, she's missing farm too. Be patient. As long as you aren't playing a bad champion, you'll be OK as long as you don't feed her.
Wheatloaf1 votesPersonally, I was happy that they buffed her passive (way back when the invis. was added) rather than her damage...
Jethzk10 votesIf a champion was persistent and a clone popped out, you would know exactly which one was the clone.
Not saying that her passive is the best, but stealth is a requirement for the clone to actually work.
Nilok3 votesYes, because Shaco also goes invisible when he clones himself. /s
The stealth is unnecessary, you can simply have the clone spawn randomly around her and move her slightly so she is no longer in the exact same spot at the same time. Unless she has a buff/debuff on her, people will have trouble identifying the real and fake one.
Joe Dredd7 votesshe doesn't have four free flashes.
iamthegoatofwar2 votesI think he's counting the jumps back. notice I said THINK
Joe Dredd2 votesEven in that situation they wouldn't be flashes, they would be returns. and they aren't free either.
BakedLotion1 votesshe doesn't have four free flashes.
W can dash/blink twice R can dash/blink twice. While its not exactly a flash, its still an escape mechanic. You stay behind on her mark? She runs You don't? she goes back.
She can do this 4x
Joe Dredd1 votesShe can choose whether to go back or not twice. Not four times.
Rinky Dinky3 votesEveryone cried about how trash she was before she got that stealth to the point it is at today.
Now people want it nerfed again
sigh

Like I care about your stealth.
Solidair32 votesBecause late game she's a fragile unhelpful mess. She literally cannot teamfight. It's pick someone off or die.
IcyPepper2 votesOf all of LB's kit, never had an issue with that one. It's her passive, and not a terribly strong one at that.

qetzel2 votesShaco goes into stealth when he uses his clone...
Steelflame1 votesNo. Shaco literally does not exist on the map when he uses his R. This is what allows him to dodge anything with it, including DoT damage (Yes. You can dodge a tick of Ignite with his ult). It is effectively a .25-.5 second stasis + true invisibility (by that I mean literally nothing in the game can reveal it).
SEKAI1 votesMeanwhile someone who is equally as squishy plus being melee like our dear Master Yi, has an ever predictable escape mechanism with an easily counterable heal what frankly self stuns him while doing so.
And we look at LB......
yukumari1 votesCause LCS BIG PLAYS. Actually tho, it is quite nice to have LB be able to pull of stupid cool combo's like that. Coming from someone who has never played LB at all, that might just be me being ignorant. I agree she is rather obnoxious, but i think making her more able to be punished if she fucks up her crazy cool plays is a better alternative to toning her cool plays down all together.
WeFlyNoLie1 votesThey're not free escapes, they cost mana.
Big Bang Bob1 votesThe real question is what else would here passive be? Without the stealth it would be useless.
braad1 votesas much as i dont like leblanc her passive is really cool
Edge of Daybreak1 votesSo would you rather riot change it to some form of free damage or something? She has to have something and the passive makes perfect sense on someone called the deceiver. Hell her w and passive are the only deceitful things she has access to and one of them she cant even control.
Mephistophilis1 votesThe passive is the most iconic thing about her kit and you want it to be removed? She is the DECEIVER. The problem of leBlanc are the short cd and mana cost on her abilities, and things like her bugged hitbox on E and the instant W recast. Those are the things that make her annoying.
Old Man Teeto1 votesHer passive is rather unique.
It can both help and harm her. I've killed a Le-Blanc with Brand ultimate because of her clone, and cursed as her clone caught an Ashe arrow saving her life.
Le-Blanc needs to be balanced for the pro's and hopefully with meaningful interaction for everyone. Le-Blanc isn't that OP just SUPER unfun to play against for most of us.
