LeBlanc's current state and future

There's a lot of talk about LeBlanc's changes on the PBE which might I add, are most likely to change and probably aren't the final changes. I'd like to try and not be super biased here. LeBlanc is getting MUCH NEEDED nerfs, but changing her W into an escape is changing a lot about her. She's turning into a sort of kiting mage, which wasn't what we were told Riot wanted her to be.

LeBlanc has been getting nerfed consistently almost every patch since her rework was released. LeBlanc was given far too much in her kit, which is obvious. I'm sure some people want old LeBlanc back, and some people just don't like new or old LeBlanc, but i'm sure the majority will agree she was far more balanced than her current form when she wasn't reworked. It might have been frustrating seeing as people said she had no counter play, but she wasn't being abused like she is now. She is a 100% pick/ban in LCK, and almost a 100% pick/ban in LCS. Before her rework, she was played not so often (in LCS and LCK). She was played, but she was not a completely abuse-able pick like she is now. Yes, she could 1 shot you sometimes if she was fed enough or had enough items, but there are champions who exist right now that can do that cough Syndra. I just wish I could play LeBlanc in ranked, but considering she's almost always banned it's impossible.

Riot said they wanted her to have a more better role as a deceiver. So they tried to give her more gimmicks and tools for that, but it seems she was more tricky with her old kit than she is now. I mean don't get me wrong, she can get a flash from someone with her clone 1 of out 25 games, so I get that's deceiving. But whenever she got below 40% health and her clone spawned, she was quite more tricky, and fooled a lot more people. In my opinion the deceiving part of the rework didn't go ideal compared to the old LeBlanc.

What i'm trying to get at is, old LeBlanc's balance was debatable, some say she was fine, some say she was still broken. But her current form is far too strong, and will continue to receive nerfs constantly till she's eventually gutted. I just wish they never did this in the first place, I loved playing her, using her kit, and this new one just feels clunky. I love LeBlanc, and I just don't want her playstyle changed completely is all i'm getting to.
