A little sad to see Sweeping Lens go, it had some uses that Oracle Alt. simply doesn't have. I wish they'd go back to what they did way back when trinkets were first introduced, and have one basic trinket be upgradable into several different trinkets. So like you'd start with Lens then be able to upgrade to Oracle or an improved version of Lens (longer range, shorter CD etc)

Oh well. LeBlanc is finally playable since the 1.5 second wait to deal damage was removed
LeBlanc is finally playable since the 1.5 second wait to deal damage was removedHow do you mean she wasn't playable before lol. She was always oppressive as hell if you knew how to use her.

Galio really got rekt. Probably went a bit too hard there.Galio absolutely deserved that. They should've been rougher on him, his ult isn't the sole reason he's so strong and the longer cooldown doesn't take away from his strength as he doesn't spam it anyway.

She was oppressive in lane but that was it. Afterwards she dropped off super hard because she had literally zero teamfight presence. When you have to stay linked to your target for 1.5 seconds to do any damage you have no burst, so she had to way to kill key targets in a fight unlike any other assassin who can do that pretty well (and assassins are already considered bad in teamfights). Look at any good LB guide they'll tell you that.
So LB was reduced to being that awkward splitpusher, which wasn't even good.
Now she can burst down any squishy in a TF with W-Q-RQ-E and then escape. It's a million times better.

It's the same cooldown as
Shen's ult, literally the highest ult cooldown in the game. Only having your ult up every second teamfight is incredibly punishing.

By all means, direct me to a good LB guide, then. Being relevant on her in late game entirely depends on your (in)ability to use her kit and facilitating your lead early-mid game, nothing more. I don't know how you can call her splitpushing awkward when she was arguably the best split pusher of all mid laners with her enormous damage and sustain. Killing the backline is also not always her primary goal, her role in teamfights is actually pretty versatile (also true for the live version of LeBlanc).

Every second teamfight? Its cooldown went up by 20, 30 and 40 seconds for each rank respectively lol. It's an ability he'd use in skirmishes and such, Galio shouldn't start looking for picks whenever his ult comes back up again.

You can be a 1000 LP challenger player with 6 items, you'll still feed when you try to tether the enemy ADC in a teamfight for 1.5 seconds.

She wasn't very threatening since she can only kill squishies. If the enemy toplaner (tank or bruiser) follows you around to counterpush you can do nothing, unlike your typical Jax/Fiora/Trynda who can dive and solo kill anyone.

She's a burst mage. The backline is all she can kill.
Look at the video I linked where he says in a late game teamfight you're basically just a support trying to peel for your adc with E lul.
That same person whose guide you're referencing has, I **** you not, stated on multiple occasions how LeBlanc is really, really bad for game health and is in need of damage nerfs across the board.
Of course you'll feed if you try to tether them. You don't actually think you're meant to dash into them and wait for your chain expecting to live, right?
A smart player is never going to die on LeBlanc while splitpushing. A squishy comes to defend, you kill them. A bruiser/tank can never really threaten you, and you outsustain them anyway. Multiple people come to defend - gratz, you've done your job as a splitpusher.
? I literally just said her role is versatile LOL

Sure he wasn't talking about the pre-rework LB?
Because this reverted LB can easily be broken. One-shot squishies instantly and then escape safely *is* really bad for game health. That was the whole reason she got reworked in the first place.

Except that's the only way for the previous LB to deal any damage because passive.
So what did she do in a teamfight? Peel for her adc with E?

You're the midlaner. If all you can do is keep the enemy toplaner busy and never kill him you're not doing your job. You're supposed to carry the game.
