Playing as LeBlanc

Tips to maximize your impact

Pop your sigil with a spell
After Sigil of Malice (Q), hit the target with another ability: the sigil only detonates on a spell, not on an auto.
Distortion in, then come back
Take your trades with Distortion (W): within 4 seconds, recast it to return to where you started.
Keep your target chained
After Ethereal Chains (E), keep the target chained for 1.5 seconds: they're then rooted and take extra damage, giving you time to land your burst.
Look for isolated targets
In the mid game, look for isolated targets rather than head-on teamfights: your burst focuses one target, and Distortion (W) then takes you back out.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Break her chain
As soon as Ethereal Chains (E) tethers you, move away from her: if you stay chained for 1.5 seconds, you're rooted and take extra damage.
Trade after her Distortion
Trade while Distortion (W) is on cooldown: it's her dash both to get in and to get out, and it comes back in 15 to 10 seconds.
Save your protection for her burst
If you have a shield or a heal, save it for her combo: Sigil of Malice (Q) detonates as soon as another spell hits you, and all her damage lands at once.
Aim at her return point
If you have CC, aim at the starting point of her Distortion (W): within 4 seconds, she can return there by recasting the spell.
Don't hit the wrong LeBlanc
When she drops below 40% health, find the real LeBlanc before hitting: Mirror Image (passive) makes her invisible for 1 second and leaves a copy that deals no damage.

Abilities and cooldowns

Mirror Image (P)
