When LeBlanc drops below 40% health, she becomes invisible for 1 second & creates a controllable Mirror Image of herself that deals no damage & lasts for up to 8 seconds.

By holding down ALT, you can no longer control yourself since all commands are for the clone instead. One more time, you cannot move or cast anything until you release ALT. This passive can be utilized to great effect and for one to use it well enough, you should always be aware and prepared as you go below 40% health. Use the invisibility to your advantage by either engaging the enemy or escaping them. I like to use this in an aggressive manner with Distortion and/or Mark/Dash & having Distortion (W) concealed in the bush without any of the enemies knowing I have a return pad. This means using W and then walk out of the bush... DO NOT use her W to dash out of it because the enemy will know what you just did. Now attack them, deliberately take damage to get yourself below 40% to trigger passive, clone appears, and while still stealthed, press W to return to pad inside bush. Make sure you do this after clone has made its appearance because if you return to quickly as clone is making its appearance, it will show up with you inside the bush. We want to leave it out in the open. Because they never see you return inside the bush due to the stealth, one LeBlanc appears before them, and surely they cant help but think that they must've killed the clone during the battle...
The benefits? A distraction. Draw enemy fire onto clone instead of teammates thus giving them breathing room for a moment. However, this little trick goes out the window against champs like Maokai with his Sapling Toss, so watch out for that. Other abilities like Noxious Trap can be dealt with by getting Oracle's Elixir. Bushwhack and other traps can ruin a moment also. Just know who the enemies are and what traps, if any, that they have.
In ARAM , it is not unusual to be low in health because of the Howling Abyss aura restricting outgoing heals and the that there is no recalling to replenish. Every 60 seconds you will have your passive up and ready to use again. Make note that after it cools down, if you are already under 40% health, any damage you take will trigger passive. Do you best to utilize this to bait out spells from enemy or to simply create a diversion to give your team some breathing room.
This is her main spell, the one you will use most often & cast before any other spell. I prefer to max this 2nd after Distortion but as you read on, I will provide the overall stats depending on how you rank Q & W from level 1-10 & 13. The reason for mentioning level 13 is because you should now have both Sigil of Malice & Distortion at max ranks with 2 on Mimic, which was done at level 11.
In ARAM, you can find yourself quickly out of mana if you arent careful. Just dont waste any mana with this spell on minions, at all. If tempted to last hit the siege minion, that is up to you. Be wary that you aren't the only one who is going to farm what they can and to compete for it with her spells only to get nothing back in return makes it a complete waste. All spells except Ethereal Chains (70 mana) & Mimic (no cost) have their mana cost increased as you rank them up. For each time you level Q or W up, the cost increases by 10 & 15 mana. On top of that, LeBlanc tends to rush Luden's Tempest which effectively eliminates the Lost Chapter passive. This awareness isnt just limited to LeBlanc... Anyone who uses the component should keep all of this in mind as it isnt always a must-do when you have the 1900 gold to purchase the Luden's. Sit at shop as you wait passively on 50 gold for Blasting Wand + Sorcerer's Shoes. Then there is the cooldown reduction stat... Lowered CD means increased spell usage most likely & in turn, slowly depleting your mana pool.
Last but not least, 45% CDR brings this ability down to 3.3 seconds. While a target will stay marked for 4 seconds, the .7 seconds is not enough time for her to run through the animation of the spell to consume it, at melee range. Basically, I should've said to never run Inspiration secondary on LB inside the Howling Abyss.
DISCLAIMER: Wall of text
As you get better and better with LeBlanc, the easier it is on utilizing this spell for its various applications. However, it is to be applied with caution no matter how good you are because enemies who are aware of your return pad in effect may have the advantage of anticipation, may guess your next move correctly and/or to merely strike out preemptively with a good chance of success. Of all the ways to apply this spell, one thing I make an effort on before engaging is conceal myself when using it so that the enemy is not completely sure as to whether I have a safety net or not. An example is using it in the bush and walking out of it as opposed to dashing out as the enemies would obviously know and will keep in mind to potentially divert their abilities that way. If you understand the fog of war, that is also a big plus and can be used to your advantage. Get a friend, create a custom game, be on opposing sides, communicate your areas and discuss whether either of you have vision of one another and make note of it.
Distortion is used for:
___➤ escaping and juking.
___➤ clearing waves or to shove lane to increase the pressure.
___➤ positioning to get better aim using skillshots, preferably to land my Mark/Dash easier which in turn lets me land Ethereal Chains easier, all within a 4 second period. You have plenty of time to root an enemy before returning back to pad if your execution is good. The chains only need 1.5 seconds of your time.
___➤ with imminent 40% health to trigger Mirror Image, allows you to put distance between you and the clone during stealth, which can effectively divert attention away from you and/or teammates. Distortion and low health also helps teammates as your job here is to bait enemy into whiffing their abilities.
___➤ better mobility to intercept enemy skillshots, potentially saving a teammmate or two. Or use them as a meat shield.
___➤ intercept tracking moves like Master Yi's Alpha Strike and then returning to the cast location, thus displacing Yi in the process. Her ability to draw these certain abilities and deliver them to your team or even under tower is one of my favorite things to pull off. See an enemy snowball? Let it hit you and wait to see if they're stupid. Other examples are Twisted Advance, Mark/Dash, Sonic Wave...
___➤ last but not least, doing full screen combos. Her gap closing range is immense. She could possibly be no. 1 in terms of mobility. I couldn't say for sure but she's up there with the best of them though.
As you read on, I will provide more information and videos showcasing combos and various interactions that makes her the most fun champion for me to play. Every game I play using her, I max this spell first to increase its damage and most of all, lower its cooldown as the timing with this, in my opinion, is of the utmost importance. DO NOT waste away this spell on minions until after you have 3 points or so on it because it would be weak and a waste until it gets stronger. But of course, if teammates did all the damage first and if you can swipe the farm for yourself, take it! And never lead with W before mimicking it if R is only rank 1. At rank 2, it does more damage and would be wise to then lead with W first.
A linear skillshot that will root enemies where they stand should you connect with it. This spell isnt the easiest to land but because we are in ARAM , it would be sweet to pull it off as your team will be there to capitalize. There are various applications for it and a couple ways to ensure you hit a moving target with it. I like to hold back a tank sometimes as I chase down his carries, use it to root an enemy down, or simply to escape without the need to use Distortion. It can also be your first choice when needing to consume a mark from Sigil of Malice as I would try and use before anything else.
Now the biggest issue is being able to hit a moving target with this. I'll give a couple examples and let your imagination do the rest. One is using Distortion to close the gap between you and target so that it is basically a pointblank hit. Say you manage to mark them with Sigil of Malice but then target flashes away, what to do? Simple, use Distortion to close the gap, then mark them with Mark/Dash, then dash to target, and once again, pointblank range. In this scenario, you have a return pad with about 2 seconds left on its timer which means you should get an auto attack off before you can no longer return to your pad because remember? Dark Harvest. Now if you are me here, I will also wait 1.5s after making the hit with the chains so that they are rooted in place. You may not be able to do much after it, but this is a great thing with any teammate having long range abilities.
