the Deceiver
Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (4,240 games).
LeBlanc, the Deceiver, dashes in with Distortion and can return to where she started, and Mimic recasts one of her basic spells. Master+ took her Mid mostly and to support sometimes, Electrocute on virtually every game, with Luden's Echo then Shadowflame opening both printed paths. She lost most often to Katarina, Zoe and Ryze. Sylas and Yone she had the better of. Ahri, Yasuo and Malzahar were near-even.

How LeBlanc performs against enemy mid laners
Recommended items by enemy team composition
LeBlancMid average
102030

Deny the reset — it wants a kill to come back out; a warded exit removes it
Dodge the primary — its rotation is one skillshot; sidestep it and the rest is chip
Punish the cooldown — LeBlanc is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 9/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average
PMirror Image
When LeBlanc drops below 40% Health, she becomes invisible for 1 second and creates a Mirror Image that deals no damage and lasts for up to 8 seconds.
Passive — never cast
QSigil of Malice
LeBlanc projects a sigil, dealing damage and marking the target for 3.5 seconds. Damaging the marked target with an ability detonates the sigil, dealing additional damage. If either part kills the target, Leblanc refunds the Mana cost and part of this spell's remaining Cooldown.

Base Stats
WDistortion
RW - Mimic: Distortion
With the previous version of Statikk Shiv that drove nerfing her AS ratios no longer in the game, we’re bringing these closer to a typical champion’s baseline. Simultaneously, having some room for power, we are giving her some AP ratio buffs to make sure she's still interested primarily in AP assassination builds.
RMimic
We want to better reward LeBlanc players for landing some of her less guaranteed damage, rather than giving her more gank or lane support—both of which she does really well already.
Base Stats
LeBlanc’s last set of changes made her more viable in the highest levels of play, but have also led to her being a bit overwhelming for the rest of us at home. We’re delivering some base stat nerfs that should make her weaker for most players without impacting her viability in high level play too much.
WDistortion
RMimic
With a hope of seeing some flighty assassin play in mid lane, we’re buffing LeBlanc ahead of Worlds by giving her better wave control and PVP burst, especially in protracted side lanes where she’s able to reliably get access to her target. We’re also wary of LeBlanc’s current status in support, so we’re backloading this power into those later-game side lane positions.
EEthereal Chains
RMimic
LeBlanc, like many other assassins, is a bit difficult to balance because when she’s strong, it’s quite frustrating to play against her. We’re giving her some more reserve buffs this patch so that her players get rewarded when they outplay their opponents, but without making those opponents too miserable for getting behind early.
Riot's data lists 15 looks for LeBlanc with their own art, the base skin included and 47 chroma variants.

Riot Data Dragon 16.20.1. Growth curve: League of Legends Wiki — Champion statistic.
LeBlanc, the Deceiver, is a Assassin and Mage champion in League of Legends. Riot rates the kit 9/10 for difficulty, 1/10 for attack, 4/10 for defense and 10/10 for magic. LeBlanc spends Mana and has 15 skins with their own art.
Mysterious even to other members of the Black Rose cabal, LeBlanc is but one of many names for a pale woman who has manipulated people and events since the earliest days of Noxus. Using her magic to mirror herself, the sorceress can appear to anyone, anywhere, and even be in many places at once. Always plotting just out of sight, LeBlanc's true motives are as inscrutable as her shifting identity.
