If the main problem with leblanc is point-click silence Q->R or R->Q, wouldn't simply requiring Sigil of Silence to be procced by Distortion or Ethereal Chains (Mimiced or not) solve the counterplay issues?

Forcing her to land a skillshot to proc the silenceintroduces meaningful counterplay, Her W is a fast dash, but it is a dash, and you can flash away after she's started it and avoid the silence. Her E is very avoidable without summoners/ a specific champion.

Chain silencing would also require more careful setup: she would have to start with a Mimiced Sigil: RWQE or REQW.

If she starts with Q then uses another ability to proc the silence, her R will mimic the second ability, thus no chain silence.

Why remove the silence altogether? The problem isn't the fact that she has a silence, if i understand most of the QQ threads correctly, it's how easy it is to apply and chain the silence. Unlike kassadin's Q, leblanc players are used to comboing for a silence already. You don't have to remove it or leave it, you can limit the way it procs.
