You should review the laptop that they have the M15; it has similar specs to the desktop you advertised and has mechanical switches in it by Cherry so it would be interesting to see what you think about it. I don't have it yet, but I've been thinking about getting one.

I have seen 0 seconds of this video but LeBlanc was originally designed as a tank and last second changed into a mage/assassin, similar to Tahm Kench “secondarily” being a support, or how Ryze is “secondarily” a champion.

This is quite reminiscent of the old Ekko build with Sunfire, Iceborn & Warmogs. Very fun... unless you're the one facing it.

[@olafthemoose9413]

Tried out Sunfire Demonic Ekko yesterday (basically doing the diana build) and it was pretty strong ngl.

[@lubue5795]

I did try something similar with Fizz. Sunfire into Demonic with Tank Items. It's a lot like the old broken tank Fizz with you always being able to chase after enemies, slowly kill them with all your burn damage. And the Ult is also a very strong CC spell with a suprisingly low CD. It's just a hella annyoing pick that's almost impossible to kill since he jumps around all day. But it really doesn't work well against bruisers, since they just outsustain you.

[@0tterspace]

Yup. Diana abuses Sunfire into Demonic for a while now, Ekko is on the rise with it too. The old Ekko & Fizz Tank days. For me good, but for 99 % of players the not so good times. :P

Tank karma top w/ iceborne & spirit visage plays very similar to this. Outplay potential w/ mantra W is insane. High base damage so you still deal good damage.

note: no one expects the massive heals from mantra W, disrupting game sense like you mentioned. Abilities reducing the CD for more mantra W's when enemies think they're about to kill you causing huge bait potential and easy 2v1's, 3v1's, even 5v1's since she can kite so well with Iceborn/E/W.

I'm not gonna lie, the parameters that were set for why he chose leblanc fit Diana too and its literally meta for her to build a half tank build.

[@Lilpanchi44]

Dianas semi tank build is very strong but id say she doesnt fit the parameters at all. She has no cc besides her ult no dashes away from your laner which makes her not safe which is why leblanc fits well. Diana has her q poke but thats about it if u want more dmg u really have to go in. My experience with diana top has been fine but she def lacks those things.

Sometimes it feels less like champions wearing items and more like items wearing champions. What's the point of designing an 'assassin' if players can just warp it into any other role of their choosing? They may as well build a moba where players can customize all their abilities and scalings.

[@JrKengu]

Personally, I think items SHOULD define your playstyle, no matter your champion, and its clearly what they intended with the item reworks and the mythic items. They should keep it this way. Dota2 is really fun with its items, this is nowhere near that level.

"Something we don't see in League of Legends, a tank that has high mobility" Riot: so we have to give K'sante a low commitment quick dash and also a hard commitment slow unstoppable dash and also his ult will dash through the entire length of a wall while also CCing the opponent.

first came ashe supp which is super fun. now comes tank leblanc. seems like a fun time in league eh? XD

[@WyvernKnightBright]

Nice video, seems like a super fun way to shake things up. A few things to note though, Leblanc is definately not one of League's worst champions. She's reminiscent of Akali, balanced at below 50% winrate. Her Pro-play pick/ban rate is always a testiment to how useful and safe a champ that naturally has insane mobility, chain-CC and burst in kit is. With the flexibility her kit has, I really wouldn't say that regular AP Leblanc is a button-spammer. Something you also neglect to mention is that E-ult deals the same amount of damage as Q-ult. So if you're not trying to quickly burst, E-ult is almost always the better option for the CC, and the fact you don't need to burn another ability like your W to get considerable damage. Leblanc definately is a gamebreaker. This isn't her first good off-meta build. Wasn't AD Leblanc a real build in the past just because of her in-kit kiting potential and her smooth af auto animation?

[@HappyChimeNoises]

Ryze was huge in pro play and had a 44% winrate in soloq. Some champs just suck and pros still have success with them. Lb is one of them, every LB main in high elo agrees that she sucks

[@WyvernKnightBright]

@@HappyChimeNoises Seems like a fundamental problem like Azir. Too good in coordinated play, so must be made awful in solo-que to compensate. I don't think anything less than a rework will fix her, as I see Riot taking great trepidation with buffing a champion that usually has a 99% pick/ban rate in pro.
