I think the current LB is perfectly balanced and fun to play. LB suppose to be a skillful champion that you need to spend time and use your brain to master. Her various flexible play style and huge potential is the reason why she is fun.

LB is one of the most flexible champion in lol. The main reason is her current R(copy and cast Q W E in any order). (W(dash) is not a very rare. There are many Skills are dash then back or dash then leave, like Zed’ R and W, Zoe’s R, Kha’Zix’s E,etc.) By using R in different circumstances, LB may change her strategy and spell casting order base on the judgement of players to create their own play style, which makes LB flexible, unique and fun in game play.

And LB’s RR(clone), according to LB's background story, she is a unpredictable and mysterious deceiver, her RR clone tricks and misleading people, which is perfectly matched LB’s characters.

If Riot revert LB, it would restrict her flexibility and potential. She would be a champion with fixed spell casting order, in other word, ruining all the fun. A champion with very limited potential are mediocre and boring, like many very old champions in LOL. I think that is not what Riot want. Riot is trying to make every champion different not only in appearance, play style as well. That is why lots of old champion got reworded in past few seasons and all new champions are very different from the old champions. I can tell from the recent released new champions, like Zoe and Kai'Sa. who have big potential and unique skill mechanism. but LB is a unique champion already. In past few patchs, Her win rate is around 50%, which is ideal balanced. so there is no need to revert her or making any big changes.

I believe Riot wants lol to be"easy to play, hard to mastery" game, so new players would love this game because its not so hard to learn and everybody can have fun. But as they playing lol, many of them want to have more fun, they want to be better than others, so they would have to spend more time on lol to mastery more difficult but strong champions. That is why some champions and their skills should be easy to understand, like Garen, and others should be hard to mastery, like LB, GP, Lee Sin etc. And I believe many current LB main player will be very disappoint with the reverting, because the players like them spend very long time and lots of energy to practice and master a hard champion, the reverting completely change the way to play a hard champion like LB(due to changes in Passive and R) which makes they effort wasted. So please do not revert LB and keep the skillful and various play style for more players to discover the fun.

Kinda agree with that. The rework/revert is probably one of many. She might become the new Ryze because she's gonna be too dominant in lane or over in game in the right hands. It's a whole downgrade in term of authenticity, gameplay and aesthetics. She's currently a fun-to-play deceiver, this rework/revert just makes her one-shot machine. They should have worked with the current range of abilities or possibilities with LB instead of simply going back to the way she was because it's simpler.
