Thanks for the advice. I don't play Ryze though and I don't wanna do much talking about the match up right now. The only AP I do play that does pretty solid against her is Morgana. I just mean, I hate that there's a champion whose so strong early that I have to completely pick around her and play a champion that is less fun than what I normally play. Which is mostly what I mean by, "she's annoying."

She gets run in tournies by Regi now. So obviously not just a noob stomper. People have always just said "build MR" as a counter to her but that doesn't really work. LB with a standard build versus an AP mid who's building MR so that he won't die just means LB is going to assassinate your carry midgame while you're completely worthless. Unless you're playing Ryze of course, cause he build MR anyways.

I have also had a few beers so yeah. All I know for sure is that I hate LB, she's not fun to play against at all.

BASICALLY, I'm just trying to say that she's annoying. Maybe not op broken but annoying. And the only advice I've ever heard from high Elo people of, "just build MR," is pretty shitty advice imo.


Hm, well I guess I can't argue with the pros.

As a long time LB player though, these are things that annoy me:

1. Magic resist runes (an AP mid must)
2. Someone who knows how to aggressively auto-attack (LB can do nothing pre-level 6, and her cooldowns do her no favors against auto-attack harass)
3. Health potions (boots+3 against a lb, IMO)

If you start with a dorans ring, there's no way you'll survive the lane. Also keep in mind she can't push lanes for anything. She wants you there for the kill, if you don't give it to her, she'll be 10x less lethal going into mid game. Oh, and exhaust has ruined my day plenty of times.

What? I have a ton of kills pre 6 as Leblanc. Levels 2 3 4 and 5 all have kill potential.

QW does good damage at 2 and 3, QWE is good at 4 and still good at 5.

Obviously her best burst is 6+ but she definitely has kill potential pre 6

Anyone who can push really fast from a safe distance can make LB unhappy. She can still kill you, but you at least shut down her ability to gank other lanes easily. If I had to run vs LB Id run mr blues, and play brand, cass, or morg. Just go in, blast the lane forward, then immediately retreat.

exactly my experience. leblanc can't push a wave at all, so if you are pushing the wave then she will really have to extend to pull off her full combo on you. then she will miss out on cs from the tower taking last hits.
I played a gragas once and he just barrel rolled the minion wave to my tower and didn't bother harassing me. A mid gragas is really hard to gank too since he is pushing from a safe distance and has a dash to get away.

Thoughts on Anivia? Just played her a few games (free week! :D) and she seems super fun, I even got a double kill while in egg form. Considering buying her, is she considered legit? She's not quite the best when it comes to burst but AoE stuns are hard to come by and her damage isn't shabby. Best lane pusher by far too.

Ahri vs LB is fun too if she gets aggressive too early. While she's about to combo you can still shiftQ+W in her direction and somehow trade enough that she can't risk another trade. v0v

Might have been a stupid LB tho. =S


@Anivia: She was the first 6300 champ I bought and I regretted it completely. As a scrub her attack animation is horrible (if you ever played Dota you'll disagree tho) and her Q/W need very solid predicting and understanding of the game.

However, a strong Anivia is fucking scary. If you're into her don't give up quickly.

Anivia is a lot of fun. You can be screwed in mid game without blue, though. And she's sooooo slow (base speed 300). She's not a great teamfighter but poke/defending towers she really excels at.

List of champions I can think of off the top of my head that are great noob stompers and not much else:

That's... about it. And all of these guys are just a bit subpar at your own level of play, get players who are slightly worse than you in your game and I guess you'll do well, and you can still do fine with them at your own rank. So noob stompers is not even the correct term.

Yi and leblanc are like my favorite champions


well I don't put LB in that category

Anivia is just one of those champions that feels better to play with a premade. She's definitely not as "easy" as some of the other solo q AP mids. e.g. Sion, Morg, Cass

Yeah, sorry. I was trying to say that shes not as strong as other APs in the "sit in the middle of the fight and do damage" sense while being very valuable in other ways (not that she lacks damage just she has less than Ryze/Karth/etc). You put it better than I could.

You press Q, miss because the enemy irelia dashed onto you, you panic ult her, but it lasts like 0.6 secs due to mercs and her passive, you drop W under you, get stunned, get hit for over half your hp, you flash, but she procced phage on you already so you miss one more Q and she kills you, then turns on your team.

the QW burst leaves you completely naked after it's completed, it's an all in, and and starves tons of mana at the most valuable point in lb's game (she needs the combo at lvl 6). 1 health pot completely rolls back all that damage anyways. everyone wants their dorans ring though, which is why lb is so stupidly good in mid.

if you're facing lb without pots, accept that you're going to be killed. look at your health, apply the math, and blue pill for more MR/health -- it's not like your turret will ever be in danger. you don't need more dorans rings, they're worthless.

ive gotten kills pre 6 plenty of times as well, but i can't really speak highly of those opponents.

The above chart is more or less accurate for cassiopiea. You should never die in lane as cassi, other than to a well co-ordinated jungle gank. Her harass is so good, and she out damages anyone in lane. Brand had the potential to kill you from a safe enough distance, but really should be easy to dodge his combos if you go boots first. You just have to be smart about pushing your lane, when its safe, since most ap's try to trade farm with cassi in the early stages of the game.
Every misfortune is a blessing in disguise.
