Assassin / Mage
Beginner Rule
Watch where LeBlanc used Distortion (W) from — she can return there at any time.
LeBlanc is a mobile assassin who excels at burst damage and deception. She wants to use Distortion (W) to quickly trade before returning to safety, making her difficult to punish. Many beginners chase LeBlanc too far and lose track of her return point.
Level 3 – Full burst combo unlocked.
Level 6 – Mimic increases combo options.
First Item – Burst damage becomes very threatening.

QWhat it does
Projects a Sigil dealing damage and marking the target for 3.5 seconds. Following up with an ability detonates it for bonus damage.
How to play against
The sigil detonation is her main burst. She marks then immediately chains with W or E — move after Q lands.
WWhat it does
Dashes to a location dealing damage on arrival. Can recast within 4 seconds to return to the starting position.
How to play against
She can return to her starting position within 4 seconds. If she uses W to engage, she has that window to escape. Burn it.
EWhat it does
Launches a chain that shackles the first enemy hit. After 1.5 seconds roots them for bonus damage if they haven't broken it.
How to play against
Walk away from her immediately when the chain lands — you need to break the shackle distance. If you stay, the root enables her full combo.
RWhat it does
Casts a mimicked version of one of her basic spells with enhanced effects.
How to play against
She doubles down on whatever combo she was building. Mimic-W is a massive range double-dash and burst. Mimic-E is a double chain and longer root.
W → Q → E → Return
Standard trade combo.
W → R(W) → Burst
Heavy assassination combo.
Chain → Full Combo
Punishes caught targets.
Mirror Image: when she takes lethal damage she briefly goes untargetable and creates an invulnerable clone. Don't assume she's dead — the clone looks exactly like her at low HP.
