Glass Cannon

[quote=Darealone]So I've been trying to improve my mid play lately and just did a recent match with [[Leblanc]] and went full 100% glass cannon assassin style. All I did was stack AP items all game. Now with that being said...I found myself having to back after every single engage. I would burst someone down...help clean up after a fight once in a while...but every single time I would have to go back...sometimes even in the middle of a team fight. With that being said...what are the conditions of going full glass cannon? Are there any or is it just champion specific?[/quote]

[quote=Focuscoene]I don't know much about LeBlanc specifically. But some good items, if you're getting burned down too quick as an APCarry, are [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]] and [[Liandry's Torment]] because they provide extra HP while giving you AP as well. For extra armor there's [[Zhonya's Hourglass]], and for extra Magic Resist there's [[Abyssal Scepter]]. Depends on the champs you're facing, really.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]thats how you should play leblanc anyway? burst the carry then wait for your ult to come back.[/quote]

[quote=xIchi]LeBlanc is just like the old Eve. HP doesn't matter, as long as skills are up and you have mana, you can continue fighting. That's all :p But I know your problem that is why I always have 2 HP Pots with Lb lol[/quote]

[quote=oxide110]I've been playing a ton of leblanc recently, always buy 3 health pots, you take some flake aoe damage when you use your w and some minion dmg that is why you get a little low.[/quote]

[quote=SOAC Bas]You can pick up an Athene's and Zhonya's early on, but LB is always going to play that way blow you up, and hope to make it out alive.[/quote]

[quote=Kazega]I play Kat a lot so I kinda get where you are coming from. I do know it takes a bit more skill to run LB effectively., if you are feeling vulnerable then maybe my Kat Build can help: Haunting Guise > Abyssal Scepter > Deathcap. You might trade out the cap for DFG since LB is single target burst as opposed to Kat's AoE burst. And I'm not really sure how well Abyssal would work on LB either, but it's a thought.[/quote]

[quote=utopus]I thought guise wasn't too good on LB - rather, just getting an early [[fiendish codex]] then then into a needlessly was the ideal path[/quote]

[quote=SOAC Bas][quote=utopus] I thought guise wasn't too good on LB - rather, just getting an early [[fiendish codex]] then then into a needlessly was the ideal path [/quote] It's not optimal on it, but people get it to add a bit of health early game when she is squishiest. Personally I would go straight damage with her and Liandry's just doesn't make sense on her.[/quote]
