It depends. 90% of the player base doesn't find trouble laning vs her, even to the point there's still stupid people that think that she's weaker now.

'''But if you happen to be in a higher league where LB mains actually know how to play leblanc (60% WR in Diamond, #1 win rate in Diamond) I am sad to tell you that there is no counterplay to a good LB right now. '''Everytime some stupid bans his counter instead of her she stomps her lane and gets fed instantly, forcing the enemy laner to build a ton of MR (pd: she can also buy mr and restomp you), hug his turret and lose half of his farm while she gets fed in other lanes. She's still kinda weak later in the game because of not having enough influence in fights but most of the time we don't get to that point.

Old leblanc had clear ways of counterplay (Pushing, DPS, rushing Resistances, waiting for late game). If I picked a mage like some of the picks you named it was fun because if LB was better than me she would stomp me but if she wasn't so good I would often manage to kill her. It may have been sort of unfun when she instantly took all your life without any retailation but that was part of clear playstyle everyone got used to.

But now it's not that way. Can't trade with her. Can't outpush her. Can't outroam her. Can't gank her. Can't play safe against her. The only way I see it is to have a greater influence in fights later in the game but that would rarely happen with that horrible laning phase. So no just ensure she gets banned every game (I never banned her before the rework unless I suspected some hardcore LB main was on the enemy team).

And for the guys who think she's ok or even underpowered, your Normal Game/ Silver V experience doesn't really help here.
