Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to LeBlanc's superior range with Q poke and W mobility allowing her to trade favorably while avoiding your Q.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure with R, but LeBlanc's W escape and passive clone make successful all-ins difficult without proper setup.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves landing Q through minions to hit LeBlanc, then using W-E combo when she steps forward to CS or trade.
- You must immediately W back after the combo to avoid her W-Q-E return trade, as extended trades favor her burst damage.
Wave Control
- You should focus on shoving waves quickly with Q and W to create roam opportunities, as you cannot effectively trade in extended laning phases.
- Maintaining minion advantage is crucial since LeBlanc can easily escape ganks with W, making side lane roams your primary win condition.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W aggressively without vision of the enemy jungler, as LeBlanc's W-Q-E-ignite combo with jungle follow-up will kill you before you can return to your shadow.
- Avoid chasing her passive clone after trades, as this wastes cooldowns and positioning for her real return damage.
