What are Leblanc's weaknesses?

LegacyDAP··3 votes·1,200 views

Instead of making a QQ thread I will ask a legit question, hoping I'll get a serious answer on what her weaknesses are so I can actually use them against her. I'm tired of losing to that champion and being super frustrated. Please help me boards.

BTW, I was playing TF so anything specific to help me against that champion would help me too.

Very squishy so she falls off late game. Can be hard countered by a team with hard CC like Maokai or Poppy. Supports are also very strong against her, Braum can block lots of her damage, Janna can save people using her spells to block the damage or push LB out of range.

Okay, what about laning?

If you're playing TF against her you should be rushing some MR most likely through Abyssal scepter (get the cloak first) you also want to want to stay back far enough to where you force her to use her dash to position herself to land the rest of her spells so that she doesn't benefit from the damage the dash itself does. You should also probably grab barrier and last hit using wildcard only using blue cards when possible while maintaining that distance. Finally if you want to roam, stay on your jungle side and ulti from there so it's much harder for her to assassinate you.

Morale of the story - she counters you however an unfed LeBlanc tends to fall off late game while TF can remain quite useful.

And TF can ult to reveal Le Blanc.

If you're real good, I would recommend Twisted Fate.

she pretty much only has that 1 combo and no really cc.

Her combo is pretty slow and also she is pretty squishy.

So, if you see her using her q on you, she will most likely use her w after.

Try to fire your abilities directly in her dash path when she w's at you.

I don't think her combo is that slow, she has a lot more than 1 combo. Everything else helps though, I guess I just shouldn't have played Twisted Fate against her (not that I wanted to blind pick. >.<)

you have to use your gold card just in time when she w's at you.

But it's a pretty hard matchup anyway, just stay back, farm, and go roaming

Exhaust is a good summoner to take against her to eliminate the one shots and to keep her from snowballing.

obviously they are gonna name the obvious things and not how to lane againt her. every squishy champion is squishy. you can't call it a weakness. ap fizz is squishy. zed is squishy. they do damage. they don't tank. let me name weaknesses other assassins have

Rengar. immobile and he will kill you but he can be killed because has nowhere to go

Talon . same as rengar

eve- same as the two above

kha zix- unreliable escape similar to the two above

fizz- he has his E but then again his combo is much more predictable giving you time to react to exahust or flash

zed. i guess similar to fizz but more mobile with his W. annoying

leblanc. chunks half your health with 1 dorans ring. hell did you watch msi where an lb with 2 dorans ring 1 comboed ryze under his turret. UNDER HIS OWN TURRET. he had 100% health. she 100-0 him under the damn turret with 2 doran rings

there is no counterplay in terms of laning. the only thing you can do is if your team is good enough to cc her midway in her dash or something or just pile on top of her when she appears. other than that she has no counterplay in a 1v1 situation other than that i hope she doesn't 1 combo me in half a second because you can't kill her faster than she can kill you. you just hope shes not good.

her weakness is the basic weakness of any assassin. bad at team fighting around tanks. which is nothing special about her. every assassin is. unless she obviously nuked 2 people before the fight even start. watch pro play. shes the only assassin consistently picked over and over again because she lacks counterplay and you know what shes gonna do but you can't react to it fast enough.

what is the last time you saw talon rengar or kha zix in pro play. i saw one kha zix that was so bad makes you cry. a rengar that went full tank. and haven't seen a talon yet. its just leblanc. and zed sometimes but even zed has more risk reward in his fingernail that leblanc has in her entire kit.

She doesn't usually enjoy 5v5 team fights, so she generally looks for a pick before one starts

Papa Slothy1 votes

exhaust works, if you want a hard counter grab a negatron cloak before anything else and look for the window after she uses w or ult

LegacyDAP1 votes

blind pick sadly.

Barrier, bad waveclear, unsafe teamfights, poor split pushing, power of MR items right now (hexdrinker/maw, banshees, mercs, qss, abyssal), fairly mana intensive.

  • Can't push lane for shit. If the enemy pushes her in it's a complete "???" situation for her because she has to use Distortion on minions if she doesn't want to lose tons of CS to the turret. Push the wave so she can't use her spells on you and can't roam effectively.
  • Despite being great at killing people she can't do anything else and so her team fight is basically horrendous. She needs to flank an ADC with poor positioning/no nearby support to kill a priority target in a team fight and that's not realistic.

You're likely not going to 1v1 her as any mid laner unless you're another assassin but you don't beat LeBlanc by 1v1ing her. You do it by preventing her snowball by reducing interaction with her in lane as much as possible and then steamrolling her team in 5v5s.

Falls off HARD late. Falling off as in, the your carries caught up to her in terms of damage and that your tankier teammates has enough MR to make her damage not as oppressive. Terrible teamfight potential. Becomes dead weight when not ahead.

She's more of an early/mid game champ and is one of those that has to win ASAP before anyone catches up and make her useless later on.

So advice, try not to give her kills, and if she roams, punish her by shoving the wave if you can't roam, or follow up and snatch a few kills if possible. If she does get kills, stall the game by farming up so you and your teammates can catch up.

She falls off late game and outside her dash she doesn't have much AOE damage.
