You are aware that while she is sick at duels she was near useless in a focused teamfight?

These days teamfights focus on the highest and squishest damage dealers before doing anything else, and if they're smart, they'll send in their tank first. This was catastrophic for leblanc, since only two of her abilities are AoE (Distorsion and Mimicked Distortion), meaning that she had the capcity of a Xerath against a fully built tank.

But she was always dominating in laning, 1v1. While I am aware that most of our community are idiots who charge at the burstiest people without ANY BACKUP WHATSOEVER, she can kill any champion easily during early game. But her silence ensured that she got free damage off on you, and if you can't hit her after that, you must be incompetent because 1: You know where the teleport pad is and 2: You might at least try to get off a quick on hit effect before the silence procs and 3: If you are stupid enough to let a leblanc proc silence on you, you might as well disconnect now.

But taking away her silence meaning she cannot effectively kill the highest damage dealer during a teamfight, making her pretty much nothing. Also, without her silence others with silences (like Garen) can easily proc on her, rendering her unable to escape.

Next time when you complain about a 1v1 with her, just look at the bigger picture(teamfights) before complaining, k? I'm not saying that she was nerfed in duels or laning: just in teamfights. She can still easily kill you without much trouble: I tried a morg against her once and she is still a pain in the ass. But in lategame if the leblanc is incompetent, she'll be distrotioning around the place, allowing us to easily cc her.

You will still die in a conflict with leblanc 1v1, but have you considered how useless she'll be once everyone groups together? She had better be lucky for her team to finish them all off otherwise she'll be relying on her super-long cooldown on Distortion to kill. And I can tell you first hand: without her silence, she's nothing but free damage during teamfights.
