So does LeBlanc have too much safety for an assassin?

Zed can become untargetable but that's not what I mean in terms of safety. If a Zed got away from an opponent its most likely because they were able to think divisively and know their limits but an LB basically gets free escapes with high damage.

While they both become untargetable they bot still live under the rule of high risk high reward while LB is low risk, reward.

Even in the middle of a teamfight LB can survive because her clone could confuse everyone if used properly. Also being invisible and having a clone is just as bad as being untargetable when you're a champion like zed. If you ult an LB at 50% health her passive will trigger soon and for the next second she is invisible. So that's already one of your 3 seconds down to get your death mark off unless you're lucky. Which i'm sure you know could be the decisive action to see if you get the kill or not.

If you're really unlucky the LB will use her ult and dash to fly over 2,000 units away behind a wall or two. If you're a zed with flash you still won't catch her because she might have it as well and her CD's are lower then yours.

Its not a matter of is she OP but does she NEED the high mobility. Riot has proved that they can make assassins who can get in and out without a plethora of escapes.

Assassins in general act this way.

Champions with jukes that damage enemies:

All of these champions are designed to take out squishies and gtfo before they get caught. Hence "assasin"

This, all of these champs have a choice to go ham for the penta or gtfo after smackin that carry around. Assassins are the most funnnnnnnnn

Yeah but don't you see the obvious difference between them and Leblanc?

Arhi has 4 leaps if she used her ult and flash. Akali has 1 built invis and if used properly her ult can keep her alive. Fiora gets only 2 dashes 1 to get in and maybe another to get out, Fizz can only Playful/trickster away from a zone. Otherwise he needs a target to slide through, Kassidin has crazy mana costs for his escapes, Kat only has Shunpo with her resets and shares the same feature with kha'Zix.

Zed's ult can get him really far away but that's ONLY if the target ran away from the original position of his ult clone and he has a maximum of 2 two clones at a time. He probably used one of those to get in close and the other to get away.

Leblanc has invisibility, a clone, hard CC, and 2 dashes that can be used to reset her to a former position.

So with flash most assassins have less than a handful of escapes with Flash LB can juke for days.

Edit: My bad, technically LB doesn't have 2 dashes she can choose to have a second stun, extra damage or another dash.
