Y'know, hilariously unfun to play against and frustrating for everyone not on her team? As well as hugely missing the mark on her "master illusionist" thematic.
I actually like her theme/character, but I have such a tremendous loathing for her gameplay that I can't help but grind my teeth every time I have to lane against one.
Any chance she's gonna get a rework to make her healthier? Assassin Update?

USG Failsawce1 votesQuestion for you... Have you played Leblanc yourself? More than 20 times even?
I used to HATE leblanc too, couldn't stand laning against her, couldnt stand her in the same game... being on either side. After playing her myself for a while I learned to actually really enjoy her and playing against her. Learned how to counter her, learned what her mistakes are and how to notice them, learned what shuts her down.
Now I'd prefer to fight against her over some others that I will still never like no matter how many times I ever play them (yasuo comes to mind), especially when I'm playing something like a tank who can lock her down. If I'm mid too i'll just build MR or HP first. Abyssal Roa and Rylais are all great items now. If she leaves lane for a second ping like your life depends on it, even if she visibly backs.
Laning as her though gives you a lot more insight on howto lane against her than what I can describe here. Give it a try. She's really not that bad.
Over Innsmouth1 votesI fully understand. I used to loathe Yasuo, but after being inspired to play him I can more appreciate his available counterplay.
I'm sure that if I play LB, I'll be able to take advantage of that. However there's two things between me and that.
I have played her a couple times, and I really, really dislike her gameplay. It's not me at all. It would be a huge struggle for me to do.
Even if I learned the ins-and-outs of her kit to the extent that I could exploit them playing against her, it wouldn't stop me believing that she's awfully designed.
This thread isnt a matter of "I hate LeBlanc and she should be reworked/gutted/farted on by Himalayan yaks", it's "from as objective as I can be, I think LeBlanc is horrendously designed and needs to be reworked for the sake of game balance". My main was recently reworked into a far healthier state, and even though his consistent damage suffered for it, I'm happier.
Xanit1 votesI hate her. She has incredibly unfair gameplay, easy instant burst, ridiculous amounts of mobility, and no thematic awareness.
I've played her several times. Every time I become unstoppably broken, able to instantly delete threats with them having no chance of retaliation.
She does have weaknesses, but they are not telegraphed or useful to her enemy at all. Her mistakes are so negligible due to her low cooldowns, huge targeted damage, and easy escapes. The only error you can capitalize on is a missed tether, and she can still delete you without it. She essentially is uncombatable.
She is poorly designed, horrendously unfun and unfair, and deserves deletion, like so many other relics of Riot's selfishness and ignorance.
TeemoXNidalee1 votesShe is trash tier, just pick a waveclear champ and push over and over.
Or pick someone that can outtrade her pre 6 and rape her.
Fizz Zed & Talon need decent reflexes so you can use your blink the moment she uses her dash, if you suck just pick wave clear champs and auto win lane.
