Can We Change LeBlanc's Rework So She Can Control Her New Clone?

2017 Season Update - League of Legends

I have 100K mastery points on LeBlanc.

Her current passive is fun because you can control it in ways to deceive people, watching any SivHD video of him playing LeBlanc shows how much fun it can be, but her new clone can't be controlled globally and her mimic ult clone only lasts 1 second so she has no way to deceive with her clone like she can pre-rework, wasn't her rework supposed to make her more deceptive? It's not as fun and doesn't look as deceptive when it's just an automatic clone that does a simple trick without ANY of your input on where it goes.

Her new ult mimic look's pretty cool, keep the automatic targeting when upon cast by default, but it'd be nice if we could interrupt her walking towards an enemy blatantly, and instead perform some really cool tricks like she can right now.

If you listen in to the Leblanc section of the assassin podcast, they explain why they didn't allow her to control the clone. They didn't want the micro-manage arms-race to be part of her anymore and instead wanted to focus on the trickery of Lb herself.

Can you send me a link and tell me when they talk about the LeBlanc rework podcast?

This is the link. https://www.twitch.tv/leagueoflegends/v/95763028 They talk about all of them in the beginning and at 2:20:00 They switch out the devs to the Lb one and feature her in a game.

the already did increase the duration of her clone to 2.5 seconds, so this type of management will be possible again

That's not enough to do that much stuff, but i don't really have any room to talk considering that the rework isn't out yet.

Her current passive is 8 seconds, i hope 2.5 is enough to pull off more complicated jukes.

I got like 340k points on her, so I know pretty well what I am talking about xD And I was able to try her on pbe - the 1 second definitely was too short, but the 2.5 seconds feel good. The "new" clone exists to deceive opponents while you are landing your burst, which does not take longer than 2.5 seconds.
