She is still an assassin. She still deals enough damage to keep her in that bracket.

She even got a buff to her Q, didn't she? One spell, at least, got upped while we were all focused on her W changes.

You need to be careful how you define a mage or an assassin, because in the end they can all delete people rather quickly. Instead of losing the assassin title, you might just be looking at the picture in the wrong light.

Anyway, Leblanc is a unique assassin champion. This means that she shouldn't be another generic assassin that just dives onto the target and bursts away from there (Zed, Talon, Rengar, Kha'zix, Diana, Akali, Katarina, Fizz, Kassadin and so on).

No, instead Leblanc should make use of her misdirection theme, as I keep saying in most posts. Her W was nerfed to stop her from literally just dive bombing the target to death. She still can use W for damage but it is now favourable to use it for repositioning, kiting and generally keeping away from the enemy while damaging them.

Her Passive has the delay for the very reason that Leblanc should have some reason to attempt to wrong foot the enemy and dodge their counter aggression. Her Q still deals good damage and her E has both the delay and the damage.

Its rather funny; tanks are usually said to be the boring class. They do the same shit with different visuals, essentially, but no one considers how samey many of the playstyles of Assassins are! Let's make Leblanc different and dance around the target! :D
