The chains are definitely pretty easy to dodge.

Let's not forget that her chains are magnetized to players.

Pale PirateDec 12, 201525 votes

As a Leblanc main, I want to state that flashing her combo is really easy.

But dodging it, ohohohoho, no.

Just dodge the sigil and pink the snare

Oh good, counterplay every five minutes, she's balanced guys.

FastAsHeckDec 13, 20151 votes

The only time I have been able to dodge her combo was with the W speed nerf, when I played Ekko against her and rolled to the side. But they had to semi-revert it a patch later...

P.S the funniest moments against a LB are with Ekko. Including but not limited to: mindgames with setting up the stun on her W return point, following her a screen away by starting your E attack animation just before she returns to her W, and more.

Pale PirateDec 13, 20153 votes

Yes, it has happened to me ;_; He followed me through a wall 10 meters away.

FastAsHeckDec 13, 20151 votes

it works for the same reason a melee attack hits you even after you flashed away. attacks have a small "setup" moment which is basically their "cast time" and while the projectile or melee attack is not created yet, the attack is registered and will complete even if the enemy flashes out of range. It happens with leblanc becuase her w return is instant like flash.

People laugh when I ban Leblanc. I don't care how overpowered my team thinks Yasuo or Tahm are, I don't got no time for Leblanc

I don't ban her because I struggle against her

I ban her because if i'm not going mid then 9/10 times my midlaner feeds her to hell and then shutting her down becomes my problem

And I'm the guy that ends up feeding her to hell :P

I'm sure she has counterplay, but I suck and don't know how to counter her lol

She's tricky, I play mostly TB where she can't get banned so I was forced to learn how to lane against her (also the best way to learn how to beat a champion is to play them and learn their weaknesses firsthand, although this might be time-consuming with LB as she is rather difficult to learn).

Don't let her get free harass, when she jumps to you try to hit her while she is jumping, and after she unloads on you aim your next skillshot at her teleport pad. If you can safely shove her to her turret, do so, as it forces her to use her abilities to farm under turret and she has mana problems early game. If she starts building a lead, start getting magic resist to slow her down. And most of all, respect her damage but don't overestimate her in lane.

You can xD im Ahri player and yes you can even her W

You can with anyone, just buy zhonya's xD

im finally ready to take on LB! too bad i dont do any damage [slayer-jinx-wink]

But Im NunuDec 15, 20151 votes

Too bad all her ability will be up by the time you stack jinx q fully after that zhonya's :(

MeleeNukeDec 13, 20157 votes

Sure, but Ahri has a speed boost on q and 3 dashes. Some mages don't have any reliable mobility like Viktor.

PDE5 InhibitorsDec 12, 20157 votes

I mean...you can dodge 2/3 of her abilities. Not very likely, but still can.

MeleeNukeDec 12, 201510 votes

q - r - w dead. It takes godlike reaction speed to flash out, but if you don't have flash you're screwed no matter what.

Slamurai JackDec 12, 20153 votes

I'm curious how a Leblanc is able to walk up into W range of a squishy by that point in the game. Either your positioning is terrible or your front line isn't doing their job. I suspect a combination of both.

MeleeNukeDec 12, 201510 votes

Seriously? so you're saying the best way to play against leblanc is to "not be in range"? Firstly, she can easily get in range and do a w - q - r combo that will also wreck anyone. And secondly, I shouldn't need to be that afraid of any champ, especially during early game.

Slamurai JackDec 12, 20154 votes

Yes, I'm curious how Leblanc is managing to get within 650 range of your carries without using her dash or getting CC'ed and killed. That is a totally legitimate question.

MeleeNukeDec 12, 20159 votes

She could collapse on your lane from the side, hide in brush or flash into range.

LeadpaintchipsDec 13, 20154 votes

laning phase?

Slamurai JackDec 13, 20152 votes

If you're dying to Leblanc just from Q-R-W during laning phase, you fucked up really hard.

LeadpaintchipsDec 13, 20151 votes

Just trying to fin a moment where a squishy should be in range of LB.

TransgressorDec 14, 20151 votes

It also takes godlike reaction speed to pull the whole combo off on such a short window of time.

Guess someone's just better at the game then?

MelledoneusDec 12, 20157 votes

Leblanc Q's you twice and chunks you for half your HP

"Dodge her abilities."

TeCoolMageDec 12, 20155 votes

I think the problem with some Leblanc players is that they use their chains at a distance where missile speed actually matters... Usually it should be point Leblanc range, or just ult to get closer, even flash if needed.

And those players don't buy Rylai's either ;)

SkelenthDec 12, 20153 votes

Usually it should be point Leblanc range

Is it my mediocre english skills or do I smell puns?

TeCoolMageDec 12, 20151 votes

A bit of both

I might be trying to get a Ryze out of you, it's wayyyy too easy to 100-0 you if so.

MeleeNukeDec 12, 20154 votes

To all wondering, this is not a qq thread, this is about people I've seen claiming that LeBlanc attacks are easily dodged. Also, yes I can admit that LeBlanc takes some serious skill to play, but that doesn't make it any less torturous to play against.

arcinexDec 13, 20153 votes

No leblanc player ever says that.

It's like a Fizz player saying it takes skill to play Fizz.

OperationDEEZ1Dec 12, 20152 votes

Her E is a skillshot, a rather unreliable one at that, the hitbox on the end is huuuuuuuuge. But in lane that usually works against LB rather than for her.

MeleeNukeDec 12, 20152 votes

Yeah, I've noticed this too. Leblanc's sometimes don't even bother using e. Tbh they don't need it to take you down. Late game I died from q - r combo.

Only Play DariusDec 12, 20151 votes

The hitbox is innacurate, the trajectory is janky, and the tether itself is buggy as shit and will often stay connected even off the screen
