Pros: hardest and best nuker in the game, can pose a real problem to the other team if played correctly Cons: single target nuke and cooldowns that require you to think about what you're going to do in a fight. Fight awareness is an extremely important attribute the wielder of this occasional tactical nuke must have.

YES she can nuke really hard, but she's also squishy and SKILL SHOWS.

Recommended build: Rush Mejai's, Sorcere's boots, deathcap and don't spam skills, only move in to get the kill and go out afterwards, if you need health go back to base or make sure you're close to your healer and your healer knows what he's doing. :p

Things to keep in mind: once you dealt your damage you have no getaways unless you're risking it with ethereal chains which often don't hit meaning you'll miss crucial damage from the trigger. LeBlanc will be a sitting duck after her nuke, don't go in and use all your skills if you can't ensure the kill. During the laning phase it may be a viable option to weaken with double sigil and distortion into them for the next trigger (deals maximum damage). Make sure you keep your distance, she is as squishy as she is damagy.

LeBlanc also requires another playstyle. Because of her distortion, you can easily kill people within turret range by taking only a single hit, granted you don't get stunned within range, of course. Distort through wall --> double sigil + ethereal chains, and press w to go back safely. She naturally nukes a squishy to half health if not more, so grab those stacks for your mejai's until it's too late for the other team.
