An assassin style caster with an eye for damage and disable, LeBlanc, the Deceiver, should shake up the League of Legends Season One with a compelling ultimate ability and a devious passive.
Let's sort through LeBlanc's skill list before making any assumptions:
Sigil of Silence: LeBlanc projects an orb towards her target, dealing magic damage and marking the target for 3.5 seconds. If the target takes damage from one of Leblanc's abilities, the mark will trigger, dealing damage and silencing the target.
Distortion: LeBlanc rapidly moves to a target location, dealing magic damage to nearby units. In the following 3 seconds, she can activate Distortion again to return to her starting location.
Ethereal Chains: LeBlanc flings illusionary chains towards a target location. If it hits an enemy unit, it will deal initial magic damage and slow their movement speed by 25%. If the target remains shackled for 2 seconds, the target takes additional magic damage and is unable to move.
Mimic (Ultimate): LeBlanc can cast the previous spell she cast. The mimicked spell deals significantly increased damage. 30 second cooldown.
Mirror Image (Passive): When LeBlanc is brought below 40% health, she instantly becomes stealthed for half a second. When the stealth fades, she creates a Mirror Image that deals no damage and lasts for up to 8 seconds. This can only occur once per minute.
LeBlanc packs a silence (with a "mark on top), evasive AOE damage, a snare-shackle, an incredibly useful passive allowing her to get down and dirty in combat when she needs to be and still end up escaping after dishing out a torrent of spells, and an ultimate that allows LeBlanc to selectively choose whichever skill is needed for the task and hand and "Choose your own ultimate".
LeBlanc looks like a dangerous disabler with plenty of damage and escape potential on top, making her an ideal, stylish candidate in the "assassin-mage" archetype.
In addition to LeBlanc, League of Legends' Season One offerings include an eclectic mix of champions, including Xin Xhao, Vladimir, Galio, Urgot, Miss Fortune, Sona, and Swain.
