I do agree LeBlanc is in a rough spot right now. The question is, how do you want to buff her? Her ratios are stupidly high already and tweaking them would just cause the problems that her release version did. The range on her spells are downright decent, and buffing them would again lead to the problems that required her to be hotfixed in the first place (Q range used to be like 750 or something, her zoning skills were off the charts). Her base stats are on par with all ranged mages, so the issue is not there either. Single target CC is also a strong point of her kit with a slow/root and a silence that goes as far as 4 sec. in a combo rotation and can possibly have no downtime with enough CDR (math: her Q has a 3,6 sec. CD with 40% CDR. Assuming a 1 vs 1 with no interference it's possible to use Q + R for the first 2 sec. silence, then use W or E to trigger the second 2 sec. silence, wait for Q to come off CD, use it and trigger it with whatever skill you didnt use to trigger R. What counterplay is there for any mage against a 6 sec. silence, aside maybe from Zhonya's to interrupt the combo?

So yeah, what do you purpose for changing LB? Less mana costs? Shorter cooldowns? None of those would adress the real issue.
