User blog comment:ChaseKing/Counter for Leblanc finally found???/@comment-24057740-20150609103116

When you want to find a counter you need to now at what a char is good and what he does bad.

LB is good at bursting targets and has a lot of mobility. Her Q is targeted and her W are not that hard to hit so she actually doesn't have big problems with mobility. Because of her W she is hard to gank and she can retread often without a way to deal dmg to her.

Because of the gank imunity she doesn't mind standing right before your turret range. She can even harras or kill you under the turret.

So if you want a counter you need someone who is tanky enough to survive her burst, can CC her, so she doesn't jump away easily and can PUSH.

When LB is forced to use her W to clear the minions she will miss an easy activation of her Q mark. Mordekaiser and Chogat can do this. Galio can do it to but he struggles with his mana early. Annie can survive her burst with her shield, but you need your stun to punish her, and when you hold your stun you can't push into her turret so not the best counter.

If you wan't to go unortodox you could try pantheon, that just bruteforces her away. He has basestats to deal with bruisers so not an easy burst target + a crazy earlygame + targeted stun with gapcloser. He isn't in the meta and falls of late, but with his ultimate, you can join LB gank atemps and turn them arround.

Real assassins like Eko, Fizz and Zed are skill matchups. If you can dodge a crucial spell of your enemy you will be likely ahead, but LB can dodge skillshots too and Q+W are not that hard to hit, so in my opinion Eko is in a disadvantage against LB, because he is too soft. But at the moment Eko is a bit overtuned in my opinion, or its just that every other assassin in the game is nerfed to the ground.
