Man, play who ever you want lol. Don't just play a champion cos an LCS player used them or cos their easy, strong, or are in the meta. If we all play with the meta then the meta is never going to change. I play LeBlanc cos I like her kit. Not because some player called her 'OP', or cos someone says she is strong, I just like her as a champion and I like her theme. Honestly the I hate the meta, it makes the game boring and you always see the same champions.

Outtrade LeBlanc? I'm going to assume you are still talking early game. Again she excels in the laning phase so it's not going to be easy but it isn't impossible. From my experience AD casters are pretty good against LeBlanc, they generally have: Mobility allowing them to dodge her combo, generally they don't use mana so they can spam while she can't, early game they deal a lot of damage as you have less armor than magic resist. They can (and should) buy hextech drinker which gives them damage, magic resist and shield both are very strong against her.

Champions that have shields are generally strong against her (Morgana, Galio and Diana are 3 that counter her IMO). Predicting when she uses her W is vital in ensuring you getting your skillshots, both Lux and Ahri can outtrade her if they get their snare/charm on her while she uses W + she will suffer minion damage. CC is strong on her too, not only for ganking potential but for trading. Annie post-6 can easily burst her down, Lissandra is also a good option when your against an assassin. Then you have the champions that can outrange her. And then you simply have the champions she counters. Again though, these are just guidelines.

I agree that LeBlanc could use some tweaks, but really, she isn't as bad as people think.
