I also played some talon vs le blanc and if you have fast hands you can fuck her up pretty bad, the moment she tries to chain you, successfully or not you jump on her, silence Q,W, autoattacks and she loses the trade. But its hard and risky "-) | ||

Either ban her or play something like Ziggs that can afk farm (He can also trade with her pre 6 and post 6 he should have enough items to just waveclear safely). Galio is hilarious vs LB. | ||

And I don't think it will be that OP on assassins since now everyone can run exhaust or heal. | ||

You can fight her pre 6 (you lose level 2 and win level 3), but post 6 you just farm at a bajillion range and ignore her. | ||

Most long range farming mids can typically just force a farm lane though, if they play it properly. Things like barrier ori/ziggs are pretty safe if you play it right. Zed/Fizz are also skill matchups, if you actually want a chance of beating her. | ||

When talking about champion counterpicks, you have to assume a reasonably close skill level - of course skill can overcome bad match-ups. The problem of course is that if you choose a champion just to counter another, you are probably awful with them and it won't pan out. | ||

Renekton top is always top tier... it ate so many bans so far in EU playoffs. Soraka mid is stupidly top tier too, hai's been abusing the living shit out of it, and iirc Scarra ate a ban for it even before 4.5. TF has been seeing a bit of play in Korea now, though dunno about "top tier". And Hai recently been complaining about how strong Graves is now. | ||

I find it kind of strange too, although GoldenGlue is still in HS so maybe he hasn't been able to practice as much as Dig would like either. If there's a meta for Scarra to come back into though it's this one. He can play farm oriented mid champions quite well, and the EU playoffs have already demonstrated that Karthus and Soraka are strong right now. | ||

The problem of course is that if you choose a champion just to counter another, you are probably awful with them and it won't pan out. I get that, but it's not always linear. You can have matchups which are favoured one way in bronze/silver/gold, and favoured the other way in plat/diamond, because some high-skill trick turns the matchup, or one champion is just harder to play to a certain level. fx leblanc will likely beat syndra at lower skills, but a really good syndra can q-e leblanc out of her jump, suddenly flipping the matchup on it's head as syndra suddenly wins the early trades. Or zed, where he just totally loses matchups to basically all ranged bullies at lower elos, but as you get to higher elos where zeds understand the strength of their level 2-3-4 all ins, suddenly chances for counterplay start appearing, and some matchups change. I was talking to realdevil yesterday about the matchups, and he was saying that a bad leblanc will lose to a bad lulu, but once you get to the really good lulu's and leblancs, leblanc will start winning/at least going even. I just find the "gimme a counter to lb" idea a bit silly, especially when all the responses are either fotm counterpicks (where the leblanc will have much more experience in the matchup, (and more experience on the champion in general) then you unless you seriously invest time in it. Or people suggesting their niche-ish main, where they probably just have way more experience in the matchup then the lb does, and hence don't lose/win it. Much better to just pick the most favourable of your current champ pool, or pick up a new champion which happens to be decent vs her in lane and practice that, then try and get some pocket counterpick. As an aside, I've also had a lot of success against leblancs by just having a spare "anti lb" runepage, with mres seals glyphs and quints, and ad/mpen/hybridpen reds. You get something like 31 mr from runes, and you're basically immune to her lvl 1-2-3 all ins, and invinceble once you finish chalice, and get to just play your normal game while lb can't do much. edit: this whole post seems to contradict itself at least twice, I really shouldn't write half a post after just waking up, then the other half after eating, makes no sense. W/e, just pretend i said something intelligent then read naftas post | ||
