@Riot, when you get around to updating LeBlanc in terms of core theme, please don't touch her kit

I honestly wasn't sure if I should put this here or in Gameplay & Balance because I'm kinda talking about both things, but whatever.

But seriously, if/when LeBlanc gets a new look to further help her 'deciever' theme, PLEASE don't touch her kit, I think her kit perfectly describes her deciever character already and could probably just use some VFX updates.

The only part of her kit that I feel matches her 'deceiver' theme is her passive and possibly her dash/double dash, so I'm really interested in hearing why you think her Q and E match her theme.

I'm afraid this request will probably fall on deaf ears. Leblanc's current kit doesn't have much interaction to it right now, the only kind I can think of is her E and how the player can move out of it's range to disable the snare from occurring, but since leblanc can also move to keep it attached that argument falls flat.

Tbh any champion's kit that contains a lot of point and click, unavoidable damage is probably going to be on the chopping block at some point.

I personally don't have any issues with LB right now gameplay wise, but they just made adjustments to Sigil Of Silence (Doesn't it not Silence anymore?) and she's still Miss 20 Minutes In I Fall Off A Cliff. I think changes might be coming. Maybe just numbers, though, lower bases and better scaling would probably help her out in the late game.

I agree with you. Besides I'd add that LeBlanc is a character with really poor teamfight presence, which is a thing most tend to underestimate and should be taken into account when facing her. If you force teamfights and act so as to avoid her to do a pick on sensible targets (aka, the team needs to ward well and avoid having the carry go facebrushing), she becomes unable to tilt the balance in favour of her team. I had games with her in which I was the most fed on the map but still couldn't do anything because of this. It's part to the counterplay she offers, imho. She's good 1v1, she can make good picks and jukes, but she cannot pressure objectives and performs poorly in teamfights. If the opponent groups up, her menace gets halved.
