She's literally ignored now. There's literally no reason to pick her because you can pick someone else to do the same and besides of that also do something more.

Tell me, really, why would you pick her? For the burst and mobility? Oh, look! There are        - suddenly approach a target, kill it, and escape. But they are also able to do something more and are actually reliable in what they do. They might be worse in aspects of bursting and mobility than is, but that literally is nothing, since it doesn't matter how strong is your burst as long as it kills the target. Most of champions mentioned above won't do it as instant as LB can, but the whole difference is about how they can do something more. And that matters a lot. Just as easiest examples i can find - both Ahri and Akali are able to keep moving onto the target even if it attempts to escape due to their multiple use gapclosers, while LeBlanc jumps once (since you don't want to mimic another jump - you want, right? Or would you rather want to save it to escape?), Fizz is kind of even safer than LeBlanc and isn't limited to killing one target (neither other mentioned champions do), Kassadin is literally the #1 safety pick and if properly played barely needs any mana item, which is kind of impressive for a sustain limited champion, Katarina also destroys teamfights for the enemy team (unless properly secured down with CC, which isn't so assured in solo queue) and goddamn cooldown resets, Shaco can fight even without using abilities and has a lot of (quite annoying IMO) uses, Talon has a silence in his kit (oh the irony) and meaningful AoE, Zed is non mana item dependent (poke so easy) and is also able to duel efficiently besides of bursting. And as already said, they all can do what LeBlanc can do, and something else besides of that. What really outstanding can LeBlanc do? Return to the pads from ? Champions mentioned either can just use another dash/blink and do same thing [Ahri, Fizz, Kassadin, Katarina, Zed] or feature some other escape mechanics [Akali, Shaco, Talon]. Maybe the chain is a thing? No, she doesn't have the silence anymore, the chain is easy to break as heck. Double dash? Please!

She actually features something different. The freedom of juking.

There still is a reason to pick her, but almost all the time it's just better to pick something else.
