Give up from updating LB to fit her AP assassin role — current LoL is balanced for crybabies

Build

Being 100-0'd is "frustrating" and hurt the most vocal LoL players feelings. They also don't want to invest the time they spend whining to learn how to position or sacrificing a item slot into a tank item for surviving an assassin burst as a DPS squishy. Just like a tank can't be really tanky anymore, and overall the game balance can't be about the best player having the agency to win the game, because the mediocre ones are the most frustrated and vocal in Reddit. LoL is currently balanced around these unskilled players emotional feelings.

The bitching would be no less than absolutely insane in the day LoL start looking like season 4 meta where even Twisted Fate would slap the shit out of them with pure damage if he built a advantage by outfarming, solo killing and playing better. There was counterplay, like scaling, making great individual or collective plays (like team combos, macro or pickoffs), landing a important CC, or any other way of start playing better than him or punishing errors. Today, if your advantage is big enough, the game starts punishing you.

This shows enough about current LoL philosophy. Give up on LeBlanc being micro updated. The best thing you do now is picking support LB or not picking her at all, because this embarasses the people that are making balance decisions about her.

My League of Legends dream is that some day the balance team will be entirely based in China, with chinese rioters balancing around Korean playerbase opinions. No Reddit or Twitter allowed.
