In my eyes everyone is LeBlanc in lore until proven otherwise. Gangplank? Pirate LeBlanc. Aurelion Sol? Space Leblanc. Lewis the gator? Scaly LeBlanc

the like economy is booming
The Black Rose somehow making Nickyboi sick in an attempt to stop him from revealing their history is the most Black Rose thing ever.
Leblanc makes more sense with neekos abilities than her own, her whole thing is diguising herself as others!
yeah her kit is absolutely dumb
neeko is the secret identity of leblanc confirmed?
honestly, it would be a pretty good way to differentiate them. Neeko disguises as allies while LeBlanc disguises as the enemies
I don't know how that would work and if it would even fool teammates, especially ones in the same voice chat and would immediately tell she's the fake, but it would make sense for her
@Jaded_Jinx so basically like zororark from pokemon unite?
@@LabRatz-Ivor I never played the game, but sure, if that's an apt comparison
I was honestly thinking more like the Spy from TF2
Leblanc is up there with Janna in terms of “are you fucking kidding me” in regards to their league model
The thing I like about her LoR design is that it pushes her more towards looking like a mob boss, which feels right for an unseen leader, like she’s supposed to be.
Took bad the stats are the most oonga boonga you can get 5/2
her coven lore is the best!
Elderwood LB killed Coven LB defending the elderwoods, then stole her appearance, name, and magic. Prestige LB is resurrected Coven LB as the vessel for her god.
The thing that frustrates me about them reverting her midscope was that, if I recall, they said one of the issues they had with it was that she was a balance nightmare because her Q sigil bounce effect gave her insane sustain with Gunblade.
Which just made she wonder why they didn't try to change how it worked so Gunblade didn't heal that much, like make it so the bounces were counted as AoE so it got reduced healing? Also they removed Gunblade so that reason aged poorly
LeBlanc really could be one of the baddest bitches girlboss qweens in the level of Renata but her awful base design it's so fugly to even imagine "ya she looks like a powerful aristocrat". She really needs an ASU to at least give her normal colored shadows for her skin too
THIS
yeaah she is a baddie in LoR and her skins. She deserve proper ASU
Leblanc needs a Visual Update, its such a shame how neglected she is right now. Also her lore has the potential to be cool as fuck, they just haven’t really done anything with it.
She’s so ugly in game and has like three voice lines she deserves so much more
Im honestly disappointed that you didn't mention the "Leblanc is Jarvan" thing where you could see her reflection in the amulet of the monster in front of Jarvan, and it adds so much to me that it basically made her one of my favorite characters in the game who always gets fucked up by the writing, like in Rell's lore, you're telling me the mastermind behind it all didn't plan to take out the test subjects corpses from the location?
BULLSHIT!
I also realized that Leblanc’s aa is just her slightly moving her staff in a sassy way while keeping her hand on her hip like a diva.
"Kayn doesn't get any skins."
Kayn has 6 skins. Among them there is a Prestige Edition... and TWO Legendaries! There are half a dozen Champions who are OLDER than Kayn who have less skins than he does. Ornn and Zoe were released in the same year as Kayn, yet neither of them have even a single Legendary.
Let's not pretend that Kayn gets overlooked for skins.
Zoe got prestige arcane trickster skin at least.
Patiently waiting for a Leblanc legendary skin
He still thinking of the past when Kayn didn't have skins.
Though honestly Kayn would probably have even more skins if he wasn't a multiform champion.
Considering Kayn's popularity, he would for sure have more skins if he wasn't a multiform champion
he has 2 legendaries because it's better to do legendary for him than epic and it has similar amount of work. also riot will earn a lot more from that
Back when I started playing League, Leblanc was like the only champion I played. Which is funny cuz I didnt even know that her W did damage... This was back when LB's Q still did some damage tho, so I just maxed Q and used her w as a dash lmao
My honest take is I wish they took the part of Neeko's passive that lets her turn into champions (her old passive basically) and gave it to Leblanc. It probably wouldn't be very fair but at least it fits with the whole deception theme.
The real LeBlanc looks exactly like old Swain
12:30 the real reason was because it was impossible to balance, the skill cap was absurd between someone who mastered it and an average player
I mean, they allowed other impossible to balance stuff into the game (Katarina,Azir,zeri, etc) so why not keep the rework?
@@asingulartowlett1389 It's funny that you say that, in summary the assassin update was a disaster, they removed burst damage in exchange for other tools causing the majority of assassins to be either broken or useless, in the end they reverted or reworked all the changes except for Katarina, she has received only minor changes since then.
Yeah fair enough, tbh was just using them as examples
Champions with eight dashes are my favorite type of 200 years designs
She has two dashes c:
Elderwood LeBlanc is actually one of my favorite skins in the Game funny enough.
Same! She has a little bluebird on her shoulder. I remember the devs gave it a name in the old lol forums.
Her kit seems more like an illusionist rather than omnipresent doppelgängers
I see why you liked the Leblanc Rework Nickyboi but as a Leblanc main, my main issue with the rework is that it was just the complete opposite of quality of life, like everything about the rework was unintuitive and annoying, and there were like weird delays in cast times and stuff. What drew me to Leblanc was her Fluidity, how her spells flowed together naturally, and the rework took that all away, that’s why I stopped playing it after a dozen games, it just felt like a different champion.
We in the Leblanc mains subreddit used to call the reworked Leblanc LeDelay and Leclunk. I will say I liked her ult clones, but the universal clone was useless and her kit was unintuitive af. I’m glad they reverted it but she’s not much of a deceiver.
@@GarnetDust24 I know I was there
@@ninjakirby777 shakes your hand
Some people really get it backwards.
It’s not “this champ design is bad because it doesn’t fit their lore”.
It’s “this lore was inappropriate for their champ design”.
League might have some alright lore, but it’s all built on retcons. The truest essence of these old characters is their ingame.
Leblanc being behind Annie and Rell even existing is kinda crazy. For the uninformed she’s the one who fucked with Annie’s mom causing Tybaulk to reside within the mom who then transferred the power to the teddy bear in order to save Annie and sacrificed herself in the process. The Ravenbloom conservatory is the place that her mom came from and where Annie goes and burns down in her LOR cards. In a mirror to Annie Rell was in the Roseguard Academy and the experimentation she experienced was caused by Leblanc as well. There’s actually a reference in the flavor text of the ravenbloom lor card to Rells academy being destroyed meaning that Rell and Annie are roaming within the noxian lands and could possibly meet(if riot ever decides to actually do lore)
Here's my pitch for including 900 Year Old LeBlanc in current LeBlanc: in her recall, she summons a mirror and admires herself, but the self in the mirror slowly ages until it's decrepit. You wouldn't have to model it, it would just be a flat texture on a flat mirror
I havent seen the video yet but i hope theres mention of LeBlanc being a pro league football player the way she just tackles enemies into dust
I've described Leblancs visuals for the same way since she came out. "BDSM magicians assistant".
LeBlanc's new old utl was just ended up being a glorified blue ward on cool down, which is why it was removed.
This champion's model is so old it hurts 🖤🕊️
I love Noxus but the fact that one of its founder is a Striper Magician™, makes me irrationally angry
Stripper Magician, a wonderful addition
To parties and funerals even police suspicion
I think there's something shiny behind your ear
I can also make your daughter’s virginity disappear
Really sells the, "Anyone can succeed in Noxus."
Technically what they kept from the rework were the minor nerfs, like W being slower and E no longer slowing on hit
Lmao nice to see you reference the earthworm line XD
RIot jsut make ehr evil. Her and Lissandra has almost the same motivation of preventing another bigger power from rising.
3:12 I can't wait for Brian to debut in game
congrats on 200k! idk how late i am but just noticed :p
I did like the reworked LeBlanc's global clone, that was really fun to use, but having to wait to proc her Q/passive was such a pain in the ass. She's an assassin, she's supposed to go in quick, deal as much damage as she can and possibly go out. Waiting for a mark to be complete just kinda killed it for me, it was probably more healthy for the game overall, but imagine it on any other assassin. Rengar ults you, but he has to wait 1.5 sec before he can kill you, Zed ults you, but he has to wait 1.5 before he can shuriken you, Kha jumps on you, but he has to wait 1.5 sec before he can eviscerate you. It just felt bad to play with for the champion that she was designed to be
I miss the early LeBlanc .. it was maybe season 3 or 4, when 6x Rod of Ages was such a good troll build :D Around 6k hp and 500 AP, hard to kill, the damage was similar, fun times ..
I wish we heard more about LeBlancs successes, in specific. Right now it seems like her schemes have resulted in a lot of problems for Noxus and her power base. For example Rell, Annie, Shurima, and so on.
I didnt play league for long but leblanc was one of the champs i really liked. Never really clicked with her gameplay but i really wanted to. Sort of like rosaluma in smash.
I wish I had the multi-tasking and mental fortitude capabilities to play her. I just always lose track of which w I have out and where it goes and end up confusing myself more than the enemy XD
I’ve been waiting for this one for MONTHS! There nothing I love more than illusionists and girl failures 💜 that amazing fan design is from riot hylia. I think he’s the head concept artist for riot RN we love him sm.i remember in her old lore her name was Evaine which is basically my name so love that.
It always rubbed me the wrong way that her title is the Deceiver but her primary damage source is her body slamming into people. She’s silly and great and desperately needs an ASU or at least a fucking legendary. Makes me sick that there are new champions that have TWO while she has none with the same three voicelines. She’s got so much potential.
Leblanc is looking camp right in the eye
LB is one of the few champions I just refuse to learn in any way. I'm a League vet from the olden days but her gameplay is so anti skill, anti FUN that I just hate the champ, and that GLORIOUS time of her rework was amazing because as stated in the video her ult was global Fiddlesticks and it was BEAUTIFUL!
I 100% think LB needs a gameplay rework from the ground up because dying to someone in 1/10th of a second who has four dashes just isn't cool.
I like to read her current design as a kind of weaponized yet subverted "jester's privilige"
She looks like a stage magician (because she literally used to be) - everything about her reads theatricity, camp, over the top presence.
And therein lies the fun potential for subversion. Normally, that kind of visage is a mask to hide a more mundane and otherwise insignificant person - the mask is almost inappropriately screaming for attention, or, so it would, if it were to be taken seriously within the bounds of the identity of the person who bears it. But, being a performer's presentation, it "gets away" with this demand because of the underlying social contract that makes this "deception" palpable. You have to suspend your disbelief and play along with the theater, in part because you know, or presume, that the person underneath lacks the presence that their visage does.
But LeBlanc? She's the opposite. She's the image of power and control - an all-knowing, everpresent shadow ruler. There's this fun ironic dynamic of her taking on the guise of a theatrical actor which normally confers more presence whilst herself overshadowing it with her true identity.
You can just imagine somebody, upon witnessing LeBlanc in public, perhaps letting out a chuckle at the perceived pomp and camp of her presence, presuming that, as expected, it hides somebody equal or even lesser than themselves, only for her to truly hold as much, if not more power, than any king or queen.
It's what makes "pauper kings" such a fun archetype as well. The irony of performance and perception is something that is fun to play on and very cathartic when revealed for what it is.
I've always believed that Neeko's entire kit on Leblanc would make 150% more sense
I’m with Nicky on this, I really REALLY hate Leblanc gameplay-wise. An AP burst mage that is able to become an assassin that can dash in dash out without repercussions and potentially get a kill is most infuriating for me. Especially when dealing with them in ARAM good luck playing anyone squishy because she’ll target you specifically and get away with it
Finally my main 😍😍
Yeah. Unfortunately he doesn't like my main either (Akali) XD
Last time i saw a leblanc, it was season 13 with the on-hit build
Lore:
Everyone is LeBlanc until proven Innocent.
The reason she got reverted was not only did the player base hated her new kit the Q used to bounce aka they gave a hyper mobile assassin great wave clear as well, add Gunblade and she was an unkillable, splitpushing, hyper mobile assassin. The only fair thing on that monstrosity was the passive.
I cant wait till we get to the best champion Lorki
I think the reason they gave for reverting the rework was that she wasn't an assassin anymore. That it made her a mage.
I loved the LeBlanc rework for the reasons you said, it gave her some much needed depth and trickery, as well as less instant burst. The problem with it was Riot didn't feel like balancing it (I'm not joking, they didn't even pretend to). Two main issues with the rework both stemmed from her passive doing most of her damage, which is fine, but her E could both apply and trigger the passive by itself, making her E a legit 1 shot button as long as it attached and popped. Did they fix that? No. The other was her Q, which bounced to all marked targets giving her W>Q waveclear. For some reason each Q bounce was counted as single target and Gunblade still existed, so she full healed off of every wave. Did they fix it? No, I have no idea why.
Looking back its kind of ridiculous how they just left her kit with blatant issues and then threw their hands in the air like, "fuck it, its unfixable" and reverted her. We never got to see how the new kit would work with the stupid interactions removed.
bruh i knew leblanc was old but "moderkaiser was still alive" old? wtf
I main Leblanc and I would love to see them give her an ASU or even another crack at the midscope update. Don't get me wrong I know that a kit based in the idea of deception and trickery can't really be good in a competitive game cause humans have brains, fool me once as the saying goes. I think I can count on two hands the amount of times during the reverted rework I actually messed around with the clone mechanic, the fact that it put your ult on CD to do what is more or less nothing realistically felt so bad. I'd rather just do damage with a second e or get some extra movement with another W.
I agree. Leblanc, Zed and Fizz are ridiculous. The teleporting and immunities need to be addressed.
Riot sort of acknowledged how ridiculous LeBlanc's outfit is through a Kled quote of all things.
"She had one crazy getup! Them city-folk clothes is getting ridiculous." -Kled
Actually, IIRC I think it wasn't because of Leb players hating the revamp one, it was because everyone else playing against her absolutely hated her revamp kit. Back when Gunblade was still a thing in League, Leblanc could legit W a wave, waiting for her passive to be ready, then Q the wave and she would be almost back to full health because her Q bounces dealt extra dmg to minions (literally got hot fixed), making her a very good split pusher.
Not only that, her passive legit made her even more annoying to play against (not that the current version is any less annoying to face, but anyway) because she did not have to fully commit anything for a trade, just needed to W in, hit you and apply passive, then W out and Q the wave and you got chunked down from the Q bounce. If you find Brand's W E combo annoying, then this was basically just that but in a different form. Her E also timely enough dealt the second instance of dmg right after her passive was ready to proc as well, so the revamp version had her Q E combo neatly packed into simply hitting E.
Btw mind you, her passive proc fucking had 80% AP ratio, and her Q has 50%, that is 130% AP every 5s, not counting the W that hit you at the beginning. They had to completely butcher her W to only have 20% AP ratio and deal 100 dmg at max rank, and I think this is one of if not the most ridiculous AP and dmg nerf an ability had ever gotten.
With the reasoning behind the Faker skin, a lot of people consider LeBlanc to be his best champ. She’s certainly one of his go-to picks and I believe for a few years he never lost a match while using her.
Neeko is kinda what le Blanc should be to some extent, at least the mind games of the passive.
I think a better rework of her outfit would be more like Tharja from FE Awakening.
11 minutes early is diabolical
Well actually, there is possibly an old Leblanc! Somewhere in Arcane on ep 5, there’s an old lady look a bit too much like her during like the ceremony I think?
LeBonk time
If wild rift releases leblanc, she will change her appearance and her kits
damn, nicky kinda cool.
I wished he was real
the rework was incredible and people only disliked it because they could no longer instakill people with no risk
Gonna need a dictionary for that title..
Im pretty confident they just took the LeBlanc in FFX-2 and changed the model enough to be legally different and dropped her in. Seriously, look up Leblanc for Final Fantasy X2 and TELL me that's not the source material. Also, within 5 minutes of the game starting, the FFX2 Leblanc was revealed to be an illusionist pretending to be Yuna.
Like, especially the exposed side-butt/thigh with straps holding it all together, that's something Nomura had a hand in for sure. Belts man
You’re absolutely right! YRP in position
her Cruella DeVille-styled skin is a fun concept, probably my favorite idea for a skin of hers, but unfortunately it's plagued by being old as balls and thus looking like a glorified chroma
I love how the rune gave you 18 gold but the game said. fuck you imma tax you 1
You’ve played Seraphine more than Leblanc???
I think your version of Cassiopea would better fit resplendence, while Leblanc would fit a regal aesthetic lore wise.
There's two things that I hate about Leblanc
-the way people pronounce her name
-the way her gameplay and class has zero connexion with her lore
ya no idea why they couldn't let her keep the global clone from her rework
Hey Nicky ! Will you make a video on how was Twitchcon ?
I think a lot of us would like to know how it went for you, you seemed to be a bit stressed.
big gray 5
LeBlanc is definetly not the faceless. Sure it makes sense from superficial points of view, like her being an important champion in regards to Noxus and being a mysterious figure. But her and Swain are heavily opposed, and Swain does not trust her or the rose in the least, with good reason to.
LB is the J4 of noxus in terms of design. Sexy power fantasy leader that does not fit the region thematic anymore.
I love roadhog do you?
Would you ever rank all champions from good to evil?
isn't lelenc herself also don't know which one is the real leblenc
WAIT YOU'RE CANADIAN???
Whats the website to know when u played a champion for the last time and how much ??
Am I dumb, or does first strike say 18 at 0:42 but Nicky has only 17 Gold.
taxes
Decimals get rounded weirdly on screen
Really hope LeBlance gets a model update soon. Honestly, If it weren't for smolder, I'd say she's the ugliest champions rn.
Would giving LeBlanc a solid backstory (exactly how she got into Mordekaiser’s court, why she personally wanted him gone, etc.) ruin LeBlanc’s character? Does she need a multiple choice backstory, or would it be okay to give her more solid characterization and story?
I was the 1K like :D
I dare you to play Annie
real
It's sad you hate beauty.
