Playing as LeBlanc

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. Distortion in, then come back

    Take your trades with Distortion (W): within 4 seconds, recast it to return to where you started.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Playing against Anivia

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Sidestep her ice

    Dodge Flash Frost (Q) by stepping to the side: without the chill, Frostbite (E) doesn't double its damage.

  2. Play hard before she hits 6

    Push your wave and take trades before she hits level 6: without Glacial Storm (R), she struggles to clear the wave and can't hold an area.

  3. Drain her mana

    Force her to spend her mana: Flash Frost (Q) costs 80 to 100 mana, and Glacial Storm (R) drains some every second.

  4. Destroy the egg right away

    Focus the Rebirth (passive) egg as soon as it appears: if it hatches, she comes back to life at full health.
