Yeah, I really don't get why they don't at least say why they're minusing. I only take improved ignite for the early game, Presence of the Master would be better for mid and late, but early game is where everything matters (at least to me and my laning partner) so I gear and talent for it as such :)

good build, +1. Very similar to mine, only you get improved ignite where I still prefer to take Presence of the Master. Too bad someone seems to be going around and -1 all of the posted LeBlanc builds, mine included :(

I really dont have much to offer as a critique to this guide. Overall its a very well made guide. Bravo. :)

Yeah it takes a bit to get used to, I actually just started using it on champions like AP Sion and LeBlanc, I'd buy it and forget to use it :P

But now I have it bound as '2' because its between your Q and W which makes it easier (at least for me). Or bind it as a mousewheel/button, whatever makes you think you will use it easier.

Good build. Although I've still yet to get the hang on deathfire's.

And yeah, she's an amazing burster and get-away champ, and a really strong mid because of her harassing/last-hitting. ^_^

@Botterne: The passive on Zhonya's is unique so the 25% more AP won't stack with another Zhonya's, and like animorte said, Archangel's bonus mana to AP DOES stack.

@animorte: Yeah, the alternative item section lists the void staff instead of an Archangel's for the magic pen. I don't really have that bad of mana problems early game so I go for a tear later on and get the Deathfire and Mejai's first. Like you said however, Mejai's isn't reliable for everyone, so I'll make sure to list that in its place get a tear. Thanks for the feedback!

Now a less critical comment. :P

I had mid once and the other team Evelynn was trotting back and forth trying to gank everything she could. She tried it on me. She stunned and I took the damage from other mid and her waiting to react and when I did she died almost instantly and I still got away. She never tried that again.

Excellent solo mid champ. That stun, harass, and ability to push hard as she wants and still escape from attempted ganks.

2 Archangel's because the passive: '3% bonus mana to AP' stacks, making it 6%... but yeah I would go for Void Staff too for AP and Mpen.

And I have recently played her and done really good. I almost always kill by the end of the combo (without active item abilities), this being at almost every level and provided they aren't a tank. I like to Ethereal Chains for the slow, Sigil of Silence, stun from EC, and Mimic your Sigil. (I max Sigil first, EC second, and use Disortion mostly just for bouncing around. :P) Very effective because I save Distortion for jumping in and finish off that last bit of HP or gtfo after the kill before I get into too much trouble... or both. :P

I would recommend starting out with Meki Pendant, offering mana regen early and you can go for that Archangel's (good alternative for Mejai's since not everybody can rely on it). Either way you at least need to get Tear just to start building the mana making Archangel's more effective. Get your boots next (or Mejai's) and the DFG is great after that. Most of the time, you won't really need anything else, but you can go for Zhonya's as soon as possible.

And last you can get another Archangel's if you want, but I would get Void. Games rarely last long enough to have to make that decision.

Why 2 archangels staff? They only give 45 AP each so my suggest is 1 more zhonyas ring or the void staff your also suggestet but nice build +1 from me

Eh. Only mana problems I have had is at level 1. I guess I may just play a bit more conservatively, but I do a few sigils until two and go for the sigil/distort combo a couple times for a quick early kill, haven't ran into any mana problems yet.

Pretty good guide. Do you have issues early game with keeping your mana high? I find that without some kind of mana-supporting item, you can't harass as often or as efficiently.
