To be honest, Waleedsm1998, it's best if you take the question of "who is OP" and just strike a line part way up the champion list.

Everything above that, is in someway overpowered, toxic, cheesey or a beat stick for Riot in a bad mood. Doesn't matter if Champion X is far worse than Champion Y, they all need to be dealt with at some point. There is no "worse than", really. They are all problematic.

It's just bad luck that Leblanc picked the short straw this time.

Rengar, I have no idea why he is seeing some sort of nerf immunity. I think it is down to the recent backlash on his rework. Riot may either be balking or taking a step back to develop something.

Kha'zix benefits from the Lethality meta and that protects most AD champion as Riot let's the whole thing play out. That said, he also has far less crowd control and relative safety (misdirection) than Leblanc. Kha'zix would therefore be easier to kill.

Annie is dumb. Really dumb, but you have to remember that Leblanc has assassin level burst which puts her ahead quickly as long as she isn't buggered. She also has the mobility that Annie does not have. So its a comparison between a brick and a rocket propelled brick.

You can't really say that any other champion "deserved to be nerfed" over Leblanc. She has her problems that need to be dealt with.

Leblanc has a massive "misdirection" theme that goes unused if she can just blunder in and burst. "Smoke and Mirrors" means squat when you go for the "ball point hammer to the forehead" routine. The damage reduction might all more use of this theme.

Very few assassins have team fight potential. Some do, but honestly if you mark a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will always be marked a failure. In the same way, if you mark an assassin on their ability to do something they are not meant to, then you can mask their considerable strengths in what they can do. Even then, Leblanc can still dash in, tap out a back liner and retreat.

Age old saying; there won't be a late game if champions can win the game early or mid game.

All Assassins are bullcrap in one way or another. Leblanc is not innocent. Sorry that you will have to suffer changes to your playstyle.
