You should consider Le Blanc if:

1) You are a huge fan of huge burst comboes.

2) You are patient enough to wait for enemies to be dispositioned and can position yourself well.

3) You love champions with good mobility.

4) You can land skill shots fairly accurately.

5) You can last hit fairly well and farm fairly well without the aid of AoE spells.

6) You can control a pet object pretty well.

7) And most importantly: you know how to prioritise targets!

Basically #7 is the only real requirement for playing Le Blanc. She is an assassin after all and is meant to kill the target with the biggest threat. The rest are just thoughts that add to being a good Le Blanc player.

You should not consider Le Blanc if:

1) You are a fight-head-on type person: Le Blanc never goes in first in any teamfights. Le Blanc always intercepts enemies from the back / side when ganking.

2) You hate dying: Le Blanc needs to risk dying everytime she goes in, pros risk less for more rewards, normal players like me die a few times each game.

3) No map awareness: don't go mid. Which is really the only place Le Blanc should go.

4) You do not like champions that fall off: Le Blanc does fall off a little bit in late game, her trademark instagib doesn't work when enemies have enough MR and health.

5) You are unlucky and keep running into Galio or other tanky AP mids each game.

All in all, her strength lies in being able to remove a threat at the speed of light in teamfights. She cannot deal consistent damage to the enemy team, but she is able to enter a teamfight, dispatch a squishy, make an exit, re-enter, dispatch another.

Wards counter Le Blanc pretty hard because she requires the element of surprise to win the game, which makes her a difficult champion to play against any sensible teams. You can get an Oracle's Elixir and sweep wards, but you really need to be aware of what the enemy team is up to almost all the time.
