LeBlanc Build Guide by Mrtacos4life

I play LeBlanc every now and then and I agree with most all of what is said here, and plan to take some new ideas I've learned here to better my game play.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Peggler! I'm glad I could help.

i hope enough attention gets paid to this. Seen you in action and the work that's been put in here. Cant really ask for any more

You are amazing and everything about you amazing, and this guide is alright, too.

Haha, thanks you guys.

Okaaaaaaaaaaay, now that I don't have an active guide, I can honestly downvote all the terrible guides for LB without having their owners ***** about my decision and trying to spit poison at me.

Your logics in NOT understandable.

1) GET THE F OUT... No one ever starts doran's anything except for VERY FEW exceptions. And the exceptions do not comprise LB. You're gonna get owned with Doran's item in lane.
2) DFG is a core item on LeBlanc and getting it near-to-last is a crime against humanity. Seriously you're throwing the best item to the end of your build (anyways by that time you should've won or lost the game already)
3) Void Staff and Sorcs+Abyssal counter each other's efficiency. Flat penetration and %penetration don't work together well. Getting those is reducing the efficiency of Void Staff.


Now onto the ******** said in the guide:

1) Pros: "great aa animation... ok... which makes her a good farmer" WHAT???? Just fyi, LeBlanc is quite horrible at farming and the AA animation isn't any better then any of the other AP's such as Ahri or Xerath.
AA animation doesn't make anyone a good farmer anyways.

2) Sigil of Silence. "I try not to use this too much in lane because it can leave you short on mana"
Why the hell are you playing LB then??? Honestly, you should be spamming the **** out of your enemy with sigils or else they won't feel pressured. Of course in the rare occasions when you can 100-0 them, it's negligible, but generally you have to harass with Q a lot.

3) There is no stun on ethereal chains, but this is minor.

4) "After you break the 500 AP mark using Ethereal Chains, Mimic, and then Sigil will actually do more damage than your Sigil of Silence and Mimic combo. Ethereal Chains"

You're seriously advising someone to use a 3-4.5 seconds combo in LATE GAME where this time will be enough to get slain, revived and slain again? Or is it just a plain fact statement that it does more damage? It's very tempting to perform this combo for a new player reading this because IT DOES MORE DAMAGE!!!!!!111 you know...

Honestly there is much more to point out, but I have to go atm and what I did point out is already enough for a downvote since it's breaking the base principles of playing LB.

Also, I didn't like all this 0 posts-just-registered-upvotes ********. You'll have to try a little harder.
And yea, now you can spit poison and head to my profile to see if there are any guides to downvote... Sadly, no, brah D:

Void staff 2nd item?? what are you playing against? full mres team? DFG is awesome since the update, the damage is too good to ignore. Either you did not do the maths or you didn't update this build since the rework on DFG.

Why would you actually get an abbyssal sceptre after void staff? that reduces the aura effectiveness by 40%. You are buying all kinds of flat mpen and a void staff on top of that. what's the use?

this really works, and it deals tons of damage. even though i just got this champion, this build makes using her really easy

Great guide. It's clear you put a lot of effort into making this. +1 for sure. However I'm curious why you don't opt to get DFG earlier in the game

Kinda weird why alot of these upvotes have like 1 post and probably just joined mobafire.. but I'm not gonna upvote or downvote your guide, mainly because I think you worked on it very much, however the late DFG kinda shocks me though.. hehe

"I opt against this and save it until later because with all of the early game ability power from Rabadon's Deathcap and magic penetration from your Void Staff you shouldn't have any problems massacring champs earlier on. The extra burst form the Deathfire Grasp will really only be necessary later on when tanks have not only stronger resistances, but also have also been stacking health. This is where the Deathfire Grasp active will be a godsend"

Why not just grab the DFG and use the active earlier to burst carries.. and late game when there are tanky tanks.. you should be using DFG on the carries and will probably be on CD for the rest of the fight with the tanks. LB isnt supposed to be the ap mid kiting the frontline with her chains or even using DFG on them, her job is burst carry and gtfo.
