By 'late game' people are mostly referring to raw amounts of damage in a proper 5 vs 5 teamfight. Sure, LeBlanc uses E, Q, R or Q, R, W and the squishy carry is gonna get gibbed if he's not positioned accordingly or nobody peels for him or he doesn't have at least one defensive item. But say, what would someone do if he was playing Karthus instead of LeBlanc? Activate W, spam Q, die, press R. In a teamfight who would do more damage? Karthus would deliver like 3x or 4x the damage of LeBlanc. Same goes for anybody with AoE nukes like Katarina, Orianna, Xerath, Anivia, etc. That's why her late game is weak. LeBlanc in a nutshell: lots of burst, lane control and roaming potential vs bad farming, no utility, no AoE. As LeBlanc, you always want the game in your control. Games who last longer than 30' to 40' usually end up badly for you unless the enemy team lacks team play game mechanics such as stalling.
