Leblanc early game toned down

[quote=Rudmed]So on the general forums, I've discovered a thread that talks about toning down leblanc's early game, and buffing her late game. [url=http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1037610]The thread[/url] Now as a Leblanc player I will say she is very powerful early game, but the known drastic drop during her late game does not force many surrenders. Leblanc gets fed, you wait it out because after she kills one person, her team has to do the rest. This is different for most of the rest of the characters considered assassins or nukes. Viegar gets stronger late game, as does AP TF. So do the assassins. Discuss.[/quote]

[quote=Mofolycs]I really doubt that the LoL staff has any intention of "balancing" LeBlanc to be useful for the entire game. If they wanted heroes to be useful, Yorick would be first on the list to be changed.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Actually he was the first on the list to be changed after they realized how bad he was at release. Which is why he is now considered a strong champion, or stronger than he was. As for Le Blanc, she feels like Katarina to me. If you do well you keep doing well, if you completely dominate early game then you have the power to end the game earlier than the point where Le Blanc starts falling off. If you suck early game, you continue to suck.[/quote]

Leblanc getting fed does not force a surrender because everyone seems to know her late game is terrible, and they try to just hold off. Lets say you do your part, and now its a 5v4, but the rest of the team can't stand up to the plate? Then remaineder of the team justs rolls them, and you will probaly get away. Why can't your team stand up to the plate? Because you have a majority of the kills, but you need alot of kills to keep your power at threatening. So if Leblanc is doing well, but her team isn't then you can expect to hear this. "It only lasted this long because of LB." Yup, I lost as Leblanc because my team couldn't stand up and fight after I killed one of them, or attempted to. Now lets reverse the situation, me, and two others are doing pretty well this forces a surrender since my team can finish off the enemy team. Other assassins like Xin, TF, Kass, and Vayne have pretty good late games, but leblanc lacks in this department. So when she does well, and her team depends on her then its over. Plus this puts pressure on Leblancs team to end it fast, which is another problem what if the enemy team hugs the towers? Uh oh.[/quote]

[quote=Atheb]even if lb gets worse later i hate to lane against her. 1 mistake and you are pretty much dead.... yeah yorick was bad (like really bad) then after the buff he became really good. then they nerfed him again quite hard and now i dont know where he stands. feels like renekton to me. wish they would show him(ren) some love again[/quote]

[quote=Dowwnwind]i dont think Le Blanc is a terrible late gamer because if you're laneing with someone who isn't, "omg u stole my kills", then Le Blanc will always have a feed. Le Blanc late game can work, but what I've noticed is that you can't simply rely solely on her to super nuke the entire game unless you have directly built for that to happen Late game still I've had times where people will run from me because they know that if I can't nuke them completely, (by the 35 min to 40 min mark), they know they will be left with all but 0 HP left. and if my Flash is off Cooldown, or I have the mana to W into E or W into Ignite, or W into Q then they're dead. Her weakness is late game, but the trap of "I can't win with a late game Le Blanc", will be solved if you and your early game laneing partner always happen to find eachother, and you both know he is more tanky then you, you can still suffice.[/quote]

[quote=Restrictnine#5232]didnt read anything, just responding to OP. Leblanc's playstyle just doesn't fit a late game playstyle. She requires too much single target and close quarters to do well.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]That's his point of discussion, Tag :3[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]Leblanc dominates her lane. The whole point of picking those champions is to dominate your lane. You accept the risk that your team is shit, all you do is dominate your lane and take out 1 or 2 champions out of the entire game (like, for example making them go 1-10 within the first 30 min say). imo.[/quote]

She requires too much single target and close quarters to do well. [/quote] Very true, she becomes completely worthless after about 40 minutes because her relative damage rapidly drops as the game takes longer. Also, indeed, her playstyle is pretty much useless late game.[/quote]
