LeBlanc doesn't have a traditionally strong laning phase anymore. LeBlanc's real strength comes from her gank setup and skirmishing power. In lane you will be wanting to punish enemy cooldowns with WEQ or QW. If you don't get ahead in lane that's fine as LeBlanc scales a lot better than people think, but it is important you don't fall behind. Pre 6 keep the wave in the middle and play to setup the lane for ganks. You can sometimes score a solokill at level 3 if you get a good QW trade at level 2.

After level 6 your lane gets a lot stronger since your ulti cooldown is lower than other champions and you can use it to trade aggressively. Try auto attack the backline of ranged creeps so that your W kills them, this way you can WEQ and often catch them with an unexpected chain. If you don't fall behind eventually you will be able to clear waves very fast by autoing the ranged creeps once and waiting for the melees to get low before using W on the entire wave. This will allow you to push and move around the map easily to pick up kills.

LeBlanc excels in the mid game, she's extremely powerful in the side lane and can single handedly win the games by making picks or killing key targets in teamfights. By far the thing people struggle with the most on LeBlanc is CSing. In order to keep up in CS it's important you do not fall behind early, if you stay at least even you should be able to 1 shot waves when you have Ludens. This will allow you to push in side waves before grouping up. LeBlanc can push the side lane further than other champions safely because she is so mobile.

Make sure to balance farming with grouping with objectives. People will fight at an objective in solo queue whether you are there or not so you will need to be there or risk them losing 4v5. Learning when you can farm and when you need to group will take some time, but by far the most important thing is not to fall behind in the first place otherwise it will take you forever to clear waves in the side lane on LeBlanc.

In teamfights and skirmishes you want to use your mobility to find key targets to kill or chunk. Oftentimes chunking a squishy significantly is as good as killing them for a fight since they won't have the HP to fight anymore. Before fights look to get some poke off with Q or QR. Sometimes you can peel with double chain but I wouldn't recommend it unless your ADC is very fed as you're better suited for killing their squishy targets. Sometimes the enemy will have key CC that you need to wait for before you can dash in, so it's okay to be patient with your W.

Thank you for reading my LeBlanc guide and I hope you guys learned something from it. If you have any questions you can ask here or message me directly.
