LeBlanc: She's deceived even Riot

LeBlanc, Leblanc, the Deceiver, infamous for her legendary burst and for her recently removed Sigil of Silence, has fooled many a player into attacking her clone.

You know the frustration it invokes when you flash-ignite and get... +25g.

But even though we all know this about LeBlanc, we all know she's a liar, we all know she's out to deceive us, we are all deceived by this sorceress.

I mean, she even says it herself for crying out loud: "Lying is, like, 95% of what I do."

So let me ask you, what image comes to mind when you think of LeBlanc?

Probably that image I put at the top:

Leblanc

But that's not her.

Oh no.

That's the clone.

Look at her art (I've attached it)

But you don't even need to do that. That LeBlanc in the picture is standing straight and tall, facing down her opponent.

Lolwut?

That idea is laughable. This is a liar, a cheat, a deceiving, teleporting, stealthy sorceress. She's not, say, Garen. She would NEVER fight face front like this.

What her real image should be I've outlined in the art I attached.

This should really be changed. LeBlanc is unique (as far as I can tell) in that she's the ONLY champion in League whose face ingame is not her real face. It's the clone, aka "Mirror Image" aka a reflection. This might seem like a minor point, but when it's portraying a champion as exactly the opposite of what their identity is, I don't think we should overlook it.

Fix please Riot!

This doesn't require a fix, though it is a neat read. I'll give you that, however it really isn't that big of a deal.

Wow, this is going to make me realize it more every time I see a LeBlanc Player...

I'd rather that Riot take care of other more pressing matters, but I definitely wouldn't mind a quick icon swap to show LeBlanc's real face. I like the expression better anyways; fits LeBlanc's personality.

Actually, this is a very nice observation and it'd be pretty cool if they changed it in time. Given that they feel the icon would have the same readability, of course.

This is old news, though. Brought up a few times before, actually.
