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.
Playing against Yuumi
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Keep minions between you and her: Prowling Projectile (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and once accelerated, it slows hard.
- CC her as soon as she detaches
If you have CC, save it for the moment she detaches: once immobilized, she can't recast You and Me! (W) for a while.
- Focus the champion carrying her
Focus the champion carrying Yuumi: attached with You and Me! (W), she can only be targeted by towers, and without them she's left exposed.
- Cut her healing
If you have Grievous Wounds, apply it to the champion carrying her: they receive her healing, including from Final Chapter (R).
