Her win rate is already 45% across all elos. This change will kick her out of any kind of serious or competitive play.

On the flipside, that's not actually a bad thing: Leblanc has serious counterplay issues that are causing her to distort (pun not intended) gameplay, particularly in the LCS where her low level of interactivity with her opponent makes her pick-or-ban status. She's just as bad as pre-rework Kassadin, if not worse. Putting her out of the way like this prevents her from affecting the game dynamic as much as she is now, and allows for more variety in the average picks and bans. The Olaf treatment is also usually a precursor to a rework, so with any luck we might see a hint of a new Leblanc kit that would allow her to deal massive burst while allowing her victims to fight back.
