She has a very high skill curve now, so a big part of it is practice. Remember to wait for the mark to proc before using all your spells. Since E isn't a guaranteed hit I recommend W > E > Wait for mark > Q With R being used however you need it.

I find one of her strongest traits is her amazing waveclear now. W the minion wave and then q it to instantly kill the ranged minions, and almost kill the melee ones (depending on level and items, of course, but this is assuming you're doing average in game). This is quite amazing because she can clear wave much faster than most, if not all assassins, allowing her to roam constantly. And with her ult, she can make her roams even more devastating.

Learn her.

That's it, practically lel.

Learn her itemization, combos, how to effectively use her global ult and her regular ult. Master her passive, learn her positioning so that you can go lethal in lane and make the enemy laner play passive. Learn her trades. Etc.

As a assassin, focus on hit and run tactics with minor injuries. Leblanc was always strong in this area. For example if you got a mark proc on your enemy with your W with some minions tagged on it, Q the nearest minion and it would bounce extremely rapidly. You can play very safely, on contrary to most leblanc players who claimed to tried out her. Also your ult now has a on-demand stealth, it can be used to mitigate your risks on your way in after you W. If the enemy has a aoe nuke like annie, you do quite a lot of damage so dont hesitate to buy item 3001 to make a counter attack.

And most importantly, leblanc always had this paradox of being easy to kill the enemy but not able to get objectives. ALWAYS, protect your mid tower and make your jungler aid you of breaking the tower of the opposition. If your tower is broke your roaming potential is halved, and it would naturally cost you a loss, while succeeding in breaking the enemys tower, your threat to the enemy will be massive indeed.

Always lead with your mimiced spells. It makes for such smoother combos than having to QRQ/WRW. Also, E's importance in your combo got a massive boost because of the fact it's basically an auto SoM proc.

so lead with rw?

Yep, I know it sounds bad because you won't be able to WRW so you can get the RW damage on the enemy, but if you proc SoM it's pretty much a oneshot regardless. Although once you're used to the ult, you can practice the normal WRW, I recommended starting with your mimiced spell because it gets rid of the clunkiness of having to press R mid combo.

Hey man! I've played quite a few games with leblanc (whatever equates to around 230k mastery). In regards to her new rework, Her skill cap was extremely high to begin with... and now it just took off on a rocket to mars. as craft zeppelin was saying; use her W to "mark" minions and enemy champions with her passive. once you've done this either q the enemy champion or play safe and q the nearest marked minion AFTER the mark has set. It has a charge up timer that you'll see once you've played her a few times.

The most important thing I feel for leblanc after this rework is her E. This spell..... This spell is the one that nukes people due to the fact that it has two procs. One to initiate the tether, and one to root. The reason that is so significant is it is literally the same amount of time it takes the mark to manifest so by landing your chain you automatically get an extra burst of damage from her passive.

Her ultimate is truly what has changed the most though. It is a toggle, which means you have to press R in order to turn it on. Once you've done that you can choose to either cast another ability to cause additional damage while temporarily going invisible. Or you can choose to recast the R on itself by pressing R again. What this does is spawn a clone in a spot of your choosing and chasing the nearest enemy champion. This has some pretty interesting uses that I've seen so far. One being that you can spawn the clone and send it to the bottom lane while you (the real leblanc) ganks the top lane. My favorite so far is making sure the enemy can see you leaving vision as if you're just placing a ward in the river (pop your clone) send it back to lane and just move around while you go and gank top lane or bot lane. This takes some time getting used too and I haven't quite gotten it down perfectly but it makes for some pretty interesting deceptions.

Hope some of this helps you out. Good luck out there!

shes not the bursty assassin she once was, shes more of a combo mage now. wukong and annie get all their damage out faster than her and shes not even rewarded with having more damage for having a slow rotation. she does the same damage is harder t o play doers her damage slower and tAKES MORE risk now with her new w
