play veigar then... he's a lb that scales better and is insanely strong in team fights with his e. that spell may as well be an ultimate

i play alot of mid and own LB as well as every mid lane player and i know that Annie can counter LB and Veigar but if you put 2 good players 1 LB 1 anyone else LB should win almost every time her 1v1 is the by far the best in the game to anyone thats not a tank or a bruser all you can do with Annie is hope to god you land her stun as she dives at you if not your dead i say nerf her 1v1 ability and make her a bit stronger for a late game cause as of now she should shut down any mid player if that player knows how to play LB that is

I actually just had an idea about this. Her OP 1v1 ability is allowed because she supposedly has no team fight presence (I disagree but whatever). To remedy this, lower her ability to instakill anything that is not a tank, but add some AOE to her chains. Either make her chain similar to Leona's dash (where it passes through and damages multiple enemies, but only snares the last one), or make it so that at the end of the tether duration there is an AoE explosion around the enemy champ. This coupled with her blink gives her 2/4 abilities that are AoE (team presence) and when you consider that she can mimic her chains with her ultimate it would actually allow a skilled LB player to contribute to a team fight.

I'm not sure exactly how to directly nerf her 1v1 damage however. My vote would be to just simply lower the base damage of her Q and mimic Q. Not only will this make her more manageable in lane (its not like you can dodge her Q with anyone other than fizz/vlad), but it also gives incentive for the LB player to actually mimic something other than her Q.

She falls off hard late game, that burst won't kill anyone late game and then what... she has nothing

From what I've seen...it isn't true.

Yes Galio tends to get a lot of MR. But he's also skill shot based which LB dodges skill shots like a boss and LB has the tendency to cancel his ult in team fights.

So he flashes in and she jumps out of ult range and q>e cancels his ult. She waits for q to come off CD and the QRs a carry anyway...

My duo partner is a big LB player and he doesn't even bat an eye at someone "countering" him with galio.

I loved LeBlancs concept and really tried hard to play her well, however I realised I would only be able to play her decently. Im afraid that youve been facing the "pro" LeBlanc players (probably the only ones left playing her .)

In short, it usually takes a lot of skill to play LeBlanc to properly live up to her abilities. Probably why people believes shes OP.

People need to stop complaining about LB. She isn't one of your "balanced through out the entire game champion" She has one of the strongest early games but one of the hardest late games if she isn't super fed. It's a high risk high reward champion, and people fail to realize this. The diversity in the types of champions is always being complained about. like "Oh this skill is just like this other person's skill" but when they have a champion who doesn't have as normal of a game-play as some player's like then they all come to the forum to QQ about how op this "different champion is" GET OVER IT AND STOP COMPLAINING
