LeBlanc Power Spikes (Patch 26.19)

LeBlanc Mid Laning Plan
LeBlanc is a lane bully: trade early and often, push the advantage, and turn the gold lead into the first item spike. On average LeBlanc Mid is 84 gold ahead of the lane opponent at 15 minutes and ahead in 53% of games. A 1,000-gold lead at 15 turns into a 69% win rate; a 1,000-gold deficit leaves 30%. LeBlanc averages 1.28 solo kills by 15 minutes.
LeBlanc Mid and Late Game
What LeBlanc does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- LeBlanc is a main damage source (76/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
- LeBlanc wins 2.3 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.
Mistakes to avoid
- LeBlanc mitigates little damage (10/100): one bad position ends the fight, so stay behind your frontline.
These expert LeBlanc tips are generated by MetaBot's advanced analysis of thousands of LeBlanc games. Learn the best strategies, ability combos, and gameplay tactics to master LeBlanc and climb the ranked ladder. Follow these tips to maximize your LeBlanc performance.
- LeBlanc has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
- LeBlanc secures less objectives than most champions. Your value may be better oriented towards helping other champions secure objectives.
Playing LeBlanc
- Distortion allows you to be aggressive with your other spells while being able to return to safety.
- Using Distortion can help your positioning to land Ethereal Chains.
- You can chain Sigil of Malice and Ethereal Chains to prevent characters with blink from escaping for up to 4 seconds.
Playing Against LeBlanc
- LeBlanc's ultimate can create fake LeBlancs during her spellcast or, rarely, at a distant position.
- The fake LeBlanc created at a distance will always run at the nearest Champion, cast a harmless spell, then immediately disappear.
- Attacking LeBlanc first avoids most of her tricks, especially if she's recently used her dash, Distortion.
- Stunning or silencing LeBlanc will prevent her from activating the return part of Distortion.
