League of Legends: Perfect Guide to LeBlanc, the Tier 1 OP Mid Laner After the Buff
This video provides a detailed analysis of LeBlanc's runes, item build, and skill combos, and shows how to effectively use LeBlanc in a mid lane matchup against Orianna. LeBlanc is currently a Tier 1 champion, and if you're good, you can dominate any opponent. The key is utilizing W and R skills and responding to ganks.
1. Runes, Skills, and Item Build Perfect Analysis 🧙♀️
- ✅ LeBlanc has risen to Tier 1 OP champion after W and R buffs
- ✅ There isn't really a counter, and if you're good, you can gain an advantage against most champions
- ✅ Synergizes well when the jungler is a ganking champion like Nidalee, Pantheon, or Qiyana
| Runes | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Electrocute | Almost always. If the opponent has a lot of health, choose 'Health Absorption' instead of 'Three Potions' |
| Transcendence | Essential. Resolves mana shortage |
| Skill Maxing | Explanation |
|---|---|
| W > Q > R > E | Typical skill build |
| Item Build | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Luden's Tempest | Always rush this. Maximize poke and skill damage |
| Horizon Focus | If the opponent's magic resistance is low and you're well-fed, consider 'Rabadon's Deathcap' instead of 'Horizon Focus' |
| Void Staff or Rabadon's or Zhonya's | Choose 'Void Staff' or 'Rabadon's Deathcap' depending on the opponent's magic resistance. If you need to survive, 'Zhonya's Hourglass' |
| Boots | If there are many AP champions or a lot of CC, 'Mercury's Treads' are good, and 'Ionian Boots of Lucidity' are also good for poke-heavy play |
