Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and waveclear with Q, forcing LeBlanc to use mana inefficiently to farm under tower.
- Post-6 the matchup shifts heavily in LeBlanc's favor as her full combo can 100-0 you before you can react with W, and your immobility makes you an easy target for her burst.
How to Trade
- Use Q to poke when LeBlanc goes for CS, then immediately back away to avoid her W-Q-E combo retaliation.
- Save W specifically for when she commits with W, as the reflection can turn her all-in against her, but never use it proactively for poke.
Wave Control
- Push waves hard with Q to keep LeBlanc under tower and prevent her from roaming, but maintain vision and position safely near your tower.
- After level 6, focus on shoving and backing rather than staying for extended trades, as her kill pressure becomes too high.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W on her Q poke or use it to engage trades, as you need it available for her all-in attempts.
- Never push past river without vision after level 6, as LeBlanc's mobility makes ganks extremely lethal and you have no reliable escape tools.
