Alright, this is my second guide about one of my favourite assassins/mages, LeBlanc the Deceiver. LeBlanc is a powerful early game champion who excells at squishing a target instantly. Most people say that LeBlanc is useless in late game. I believe that if you master her tricks (most of them rely on Distortion and how to use it through walls etc), you can confuse the enemy team and grab some kills.

These runes aim to give LeBlanc some Ability Power in early game, wich makes it easier to land your combos and deal burst damage.

This build aims for one purpose... SPAM, SPAM, SPAM!!! Most of these items offer me cooldown reduction, wich is quite usefull for assassin players. Athene's Unholy Grail with Will of the Ancients in combination with sigil of silence and Mimic: sigil of silence allow LeBlanc to jump on an enemy and leave unscrched. Cooldowns? FORGET THEM! CDR!! JUMP ON THE NEXT ENEMY, AND SPAM, SPAM, SPAM!!! Out of Mana? NO! KEEP UP SPAMMING!!!

Obviously, you will only need Distortion for covering more ground, not for its damage. sigil of silence is your MUST-HAVE-KILLING tool, and Ethereal Chains for more cc.

• Ignite for true damage and healing reduction effects
• Flash for easier escaping and covering more ground

• Clarity Usefull only in the begining
• Cleanse Kinda usefull to remove cc from you and re-activate Distortion if you get in trouble, but I've never been in a situation like this

• Heal Why in this build?
• Promote What's wrong? Minions are too tough for you?
• Revive Completely useless
• Exhaust You have Ethereal Chains
• Clairvoyance YOU ARE NOT A SUPPORT!!!
• Ghost ??? AHEM!! Distortion!!

Pros

• Burst damage in early game
• Her passive Mirror Image has a short cooldown and can be used to confuse your oponents
• Can escape easily with Distortion

Cons

• LeBlanc is really squishy. Don't be reckless.
• Can easily interupt her combo with stuns. You have to be quick.
• Focuses on one target at a time. Don't switch targets. Never.

Remember that up till now, LeBlanc has been through some changes... Play Video
