Leblanc Mid guide
LeBlanc mid is a burst assassin built around Sigil of Malice (Q), Distortion (W), and Ethereal Chains (E): mark a target with Sigil of Malice, dash in with Distortion to detonate it, then land Ethereal Chains to shackle and, if it holds, root them for extra damage, with Mimic (R) recasting whichever of the three the fight needs.
The build
Rune page: Electrocute, Sudden Impact, Grisly Mementos, and Relentless Hunter (Domination), with Transcendence and Gathering Storm (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens and maxes Distortion (W) first, prioritizing Sigil of Malice (Q) over Ethereal Chains (E). Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Luden's Echo, Shadowflame, Rabadon's Deathcap, with Dark Seal, Stormsurge, and Zhonya's Hourglass as later options.
Ability mechanics
Sigil of Malice (Q) marks a target for 3.5 seconds; hitting that mark with another ability detonates it for bonus damage, refunding mana and cooldown on a kill. Distortion (W) dashes her to a location and deals damage near the destination, then can be recast within 4 seconds to return her to where she started. Ethereal Chains (E) shackles the first enemy hit, rooting and dealing extra damage if they stay shackled for 1.5 seconds. Mimic (R) recasts one of her basic spells.
Matchups
Hardest matchups by win rate: Malzahar, Lissandra, Viktor, Sylas, Ahri. Best matchups: Locke, Zed, Syndra.
