Arriving in Summoner’s Rift in late 2010, LeBlanc left his mark on the world of League of Legends. In addition to its effect in training, it focuses on the minds of players and spectators, especially during competitive matches. However, it will be necessary to wait until 2019 and the novice selection for the pale magician to obtain his first volume on sport. If this sounds like an anecdote to many, you should still know that Noxian’s impact on gameplay and meta has always been very significant.
From legend to history
In the early years of the game, LeBlanc occupied a cautious place on the competitive scene. This remains a fairly marginal choice until Season 4, which is seen as interesting in the lane phase, but not as effective in teamfights. Because there were so many matches to play in Tag Team Decisive Battles back then, the macro was both worse than it is today and less interesting to snowball. Taking Leblanc is a tough decision because the mid laner thinks he can completely heal his opponent and destroy them during the spear phase. LeBlanc will have to wait until Season 5 (I don’t know if you know this) before entering another dimension thanks to the nimble fingers of a certain trickster.
Going back to the context of the times, after winning the World Cup in 2013, SKT was crushed by Samsung White and Blue teams in the 2014 summer season. These two teams put on a show that is still considered the one of the most beautiful tournaments in the history of the game. At the end of the season, the two Samsung teams separated and many players left for China. SKT needs to be restored and Faker’s Leblanc will play a key role in this recovery. The former world champion shines with him in the regular season so much so that his arrival at MSI was undefeated in competition and all seasons. This is an almost mandatory ban against SKT, except for the final round of the final. EDG leaves Leblanc for SKT, but Pawn has already plotted Morgana against him. It works and EDG manages to temporarily end Korean hegemony in Summoner’s Rift. If he hadn’t given Faker the right to win the tournament, the champion would have gone to another dimension after this competition, out of pocket, and become a determined and potentially decisive champion.
transition to offspring
From 2015 to 2017, LeBlanc returned to the Loliennes diaries. The cult leader of the Black Rose has become a staple for every midfielder in the game, and everyone has the potential to break into the competitive scene. He took center stage again in the spring of 2017, but for the wrong reasons. Along with Camille and Rangar, they form the trio of OP champions this spring, and the trio are almost always banned from official matches. Despite this popularity and Faker’s two recent World Cup wins, LeBlanc remains on the sidelines with his esports looks despite being one of the hottest champions for several seasons. While this is understandable for Faker, who has the right to favor other champions, it’s kind of odd that Riot Games isn’t trying to take advantage of this by releasing a special skin for one of the main events in the competitive scene. . . Finally, it will be necessary to wait for the victory at the Worlds of Invictus Gaming 2018 so that the newcomer finally gives him the skin he deserves.
In the aftermath, Riot Games chose him to present the 2020 World Cup. The fact is that after Rookie’s victory in 2018, LeBlanc continues to lose popularity in the competitive scene. Amid new champions and remakes, other nominees have settled into their character niches, and while it’s interesting, LeBlanc is no longer the best champion in the game, dominating his lane and lingering in his jungle. . It’s squishy all at once, it still works well, but the others are even faster. We should all look alike because if LeBlanc is no longer among the five most controversial champions in the game, still in the top ten in every major region. (But since the overall win rate is under 50%), it’s proof that League of Legends can still learn from it.
