AbilitiesLeague Wiki
LeBlanc’s last set of changes made her more viable in the highest levels of play, but have also led to her being a bit overwhelming for the rest of us at home. We’re delivering some base stat nerfs that should make her weaker for most players without impacting her viability in high level play too much.
Stats
- Health growth reduced to 108 from 111.
- Armor growth reduced to 4.2 from 4.7.
With a hope of seeing some flighty assassin play in mid lane, we’re buffing LeBlanc ahead of Worlds by giving her better wave control and PVP burst, especially in protracted side lanes where she’s able to reliably get access to her target. We’re also wary of LeBlanc’s current status in support, so we’re backloading this power into those later-game side lane positions.
