Leblanc is so sick. She’s more of a team player than Akali but she gets the job done better because she has a slow/snare and still does really good damage. Good thing she is a combo character as well so it keeps me entertained. It’s a team game after all so I’m gonna main Leblanc.
everyone you main is so fragile…
Lol so true…
I’m finally done moving, just gotta unpack shit…I have no internet until tues though so I may going to barnes and noble to steal theirs lol
Unless mags, holla at me and I can make a trip and lan with you tonight for several hours if you down, I play on a laptop.
leblanc isn’t really a team player dude. ._.
i’ve played her since release and actually talked to a few top players who play her to see what they thought. i can type up all the small shit i learned from talking to jiji for all of 10 minutes about her.
but yeah, just give akali red buff imo. she survives way longer than lb, does more damage late game and has a better chase/escape mechanism.
Unless someone has an aoe move it still gets akali. Hell I used Judgement and Akali got sliced up.
I wish I was playing Morde with a Zil behind me. I’d be in heaven. “Hey uh. Zil. Ult me so I don’t die and I can turn this into a 3v1. Kthxbai. Goes and Ults someone”
lol, so true. Watching my friend play her was made her real fun to watch. She is really good at keeping people out early game and just dumps everything at once. People die.
Late game she dumps everything at once, does not kill anyone, and then runs away. It was hilarious to me.
LeBlanc just… er, dies. Building survivability on her is an exercise in futility, because to do what she needs to do best she -needs- at least 4 DPS items because her base damage is low for lategame and everyone and their mom has a banshees + whatever HP/DPS item they’re using at endgame.
So far, the best build I’ve toyed with is the ‘abuse this whore’s level 6 damage’ build, where you start rejuvenating bead, however many health pots/mana pots you can get, and go mid. just harass as much as possible, and with meditation (utility tree) and mp5 seals + rejuv bead’s HP regen + the pots, you’ll be able to stay in lane and get all/most of the last hits without an issue. (use your auto attack. no seriously, you have to get like EVERY last hit of the wave in order to have the gold you need by 6.)
you’ll get a kill at 6 with Q -> R -> W -> E ignite. it’s inevitable. oh yeah, and when playing leblanc just bind smartcast q and r to your regular Q and R, you need it to just instantly shit on someone.
oh yeah, and core item build: bead, mejai soulstealer, sorc boots, sell bead, buy haunting guise, then buy rylais. then buy needlessly large -> zhonyas. banshees in that last slot if you’re lucky enough to get that much gold lol
edit: forgot, rylais and zhonyas is interchangeable depending on your opponents and how you’re doing. if you have 20 stacks on soulstealer, then fucking buy that ring lol
oh yeah, and you have to duo a tank with her. without a competent tank, and i mean a real tank (amumu, rammus, someone with a “DONT YOU DARE FUCKING TOUCH HER” button) you will spend all of lategame either limping away or dead. jungle amumu is your friend, because he lowers their MR and you can go roaming 2 man gank squad with him. stun + silence + snare = ggpo
AD Garen is actually fun…like really fun. I have more fun with him than I do tank Garen. Just…it still makes since to get Judgment first, but now I’m maxing out D.Stike now. I get like 120+2xx damage. Its insane. Couple that with a slow from F.Mallet, and me having exhaust and flash? You’re not getting away. I’m going to kill you. Thats inevitable.
I’ve been messing with alistar recently, he’s way more fun and way better than I expected him to be. I’ve only lost 2 games with him and both those were because every lane but mine feeding. In fact in one of those games we lost even though my lane mate was trynd who I fed 3 kills in the first 10ish minutes(I was 0/1/3 he was 3/0/0), some how the other lanes messed up so bad a fed trynd couldn’t save us.
I thought Cowbro wasn’t so good since they took away locket. 
I’ve had pretty good success with him, even in solo queue. He’s an amazing babysitter and get can his lanemates kills really well, basically as long as he has flash up you cannot be anywhere NEAR alistar without a heavy risk of death. With an early sheen(he needs the mana and the sheen proc makes him DEVOUR towers) flash pulverize->auto attack->headbutt->auto attack->cahse 'em down->heal->auto attack does a LOT of damage and punts them far away from their support/towards your dudes.
" Choose fights wisely. Don’t fight 4v5 fights and blame your ally for not being there. If your ally is pushing, while 5 is pushing, Defend at your tower. I see many times in solo queue, when people pick bad fights and blame their team for not being there. Pushing while defending is a valid strategy. DONT BLAME YOUR TEAMMATES FOR YOUR STUPID MISTAKES! It’s solo queue, remember. Don’t suicide , if your teammate decide to suicide. There is a person on your team that lacks common sense. He’ll always run into 5 and blame you for not assisting him. Let him die, don’t help help him. The key to winning Solo queue is to command your teammates every step of the way. TYPE IN CAPSLOCK IF YOU HAVE TO. "
This is my fav
Damn Mags. . .playing LoL who woulda thought. . .add NinjaCW I might actually play with you guys lol
raeli you really like Haunting Guise? Why?
Yeah I know Leblanc can be a solo assassin early to early-mid game. But her chain holds down tanks for team to kill which can be tough late game.
I’ve just been using basic AP Akali build. What is her most damaging build? I’ve heard and seen some crazy damage stuff by Akali. I know hitting MotA late maxes out damage, but what else?
@Minerva I try not to play all squishy characters. I have a half assed Mundo and Shen in the back in case the team really needs a tank. But they are much more boring to play so I hover over my squishies first lol.
I’ll add you later, CW.
Yeah I feel like haunting is an overlooked item…its cheap and one of the few that offers magic pen
One of the few items with raw magic pen on it. Void Staff is bunk because it won’t let you get to true damage no matter what and you shouldn’t be killing tanks anyway.
Early game, haunting guise w/ spell pen reds and quints + masteries and maybe sorc boots is true damage, which means you’ll rip apart people even if they build mercs.
Plus it gives two other stats that are useful to LB too. And its cheap and easy to build into. It is almost always the third item I build on Leblanc, and I’m convinced it’s core on her.
Yeah, now with her buffed chains and shit she’s useful in teamfights lategame, but you really should take advantage of her amazing early game to GET that okay late game, imo.
LeBlanc should be assassinating as much as possible, mainly because she’s really ineffective at farming with her tiny ass mana pool and long cooldowns on the only skills you would only want to use for farming (W, R)
Yeah, Guise is great. I wish I could stack them. You can play her more conservatively, but I’ve found that it really doesn’t work. You need to be able to go in there and rain havoc on their carry and supports and then GTFO if necessary.
Plus LeBlanc owns everyone 1v1 you could put in mid except Morde and maybe Anivia, so why the fuck not?
Locket was never a good item on Alistar. Even before the Alistar/Locket nerfs, Soraka was a better off with it. People only got it because it was a recommended item and it seemed to have synergy with him, but basically all it did was make you into a weaker but sturdier second Soraka.
The winning strategy for Alistar has always been Sheen, Boots, Glacial Shroud, and then roll people with chain CC.
Is Haunting Guise better to go for than Rylai’s Scepter?
edit : For Leblanc.
