How to beat LeBlanc

Common role: Mid

A deceiver assassin who bursts you in a blink and leaves a clone behind.

What makes LeBlanc dangerous

LeBlanc dashes in with W (and can return to its start point), chains you with a root (E), and mimics her spells with her ultimate for huge burst. Her passive spawns a clone when she drops low, so you often kill the wrong target. She deletes squishies in one rotation and is gone before you react.

How to play against LeBlanc

• 1Track her W return window (~4s): she usually jumps back — punish the return spot.
• 2Dodge or break her chain (E): it needs ~1.5s tether to root you — step away or behind minions.
• 3Push her under tower: her waveclear is weak early and she wants to roam.
• 4Magic resist and one defensive item (Hexdrinker/Verdant) break her one-shot pattern.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Falls off if she can't snowball early kills.
• ✓Weak, mana-hungry waveclear in the first levels.
• ✓Her burst has long cooldowns — survive one rotation and trade back.
• ✓The clone dies to one hit and deals no damage — learn her tells.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of LeBlanc's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Immagine riflessa

  Quando LeBlanc scende sotto il 40% di salute, diventa invisibile per 1 secondo e crea un'Immagine riflessa che non infligge danni e dura fino a 8 secondi.

  Strong: at low HP she vanishes and spawns a clone — you burst the fake. Weak: the clone deals no damage and dies to one hit; tag both with AoE.

• Q
  Sigillo della malvagità

  LeBlanc proietta un sigillo, infliggendo danni e marchiando il bersaglio per 3,5 secondi. Danneggiare il bersaglio marchiato con un'abilità fa esplodere il sigillo, infliggendo danni bonus. Se qualsiasi parte uccide il bersaglio, LeBlanc recupera il costo in mana e parte della ricarica rimanente dell'abilità.

  Strong: marks you so her next spell detonates for bonus burst. Weak: single-target poke without follow-up — the threat is the combo, not the Q itself.

• W
  Distorsione spaziale

  LeBlanc scatta verso una posizione, infliggendo danni ai nemici vicini alla sua destinazione. Nei prossimi 4 secondi può attivare Distorsione spaziale di nuovo per ritornare al punto di partenza.

  Strong: a long dash that can return to its start point within ~4s. Weak: the return is predictable — stand on her return spot and punish it.

• E
  Catene eteree

  LeBlanc lancia una catena che lega il primo nemico colpito. Se il bersaglio rimane incatenato per 1,5 secondi, LeBlanc lo trattiene e infligge danni bonus.

  Strong: a chain that roots you if you stay tethered ~1.5s. Weak: break the tether — step behind minions or just walk away fast.

• R
  Simulacro

  LeBlanc lancia una versione copiata di una delle sue abilità base.

  Strong: mimics any spell for her biggest burst — double chains, double dashes. Weak: mimic shares the pattern of the copied spell — the same dodges work.

Itemization

Hexdrinker/Maw and Mercury's Treads gut her burst; Zhonya's on mages. Survive her rotation, then she's a minion for 10 seconds.
