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 Nami

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her bubble, then step up

    Change direction when she casts Aqua Prison (Q), then step up if she misses: it's her only stun outside her ult, on a 12 to 8 second cooldown.

  2. Back off when she blesses her ADC

    Avoid trading when she casts Tidecaller's Blessing (E) on her ally: their next autos and abilities slow you and deal more damage.

  3. Dodge the wave sideways

    Step out to the side of Tidal Wave (R): it travels a long way but moves slowly, and its slow lasts longer the more distance it has covered.

  4. Target her: she has no dash

    If you can engage, target Nami when she steps up: with no dash or leap, she can only walk away.
