How to Beat LeBlanc as Annie (Mid)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Annie versus LeBlanc matchup in the mid lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by LeBlanc, ranking 48th (versus 57th for Annie) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.7 versus 2.2) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Annie Mid versus LeBlanc Mid matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Annie player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the LeBlanc player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach.

Annie tips:

  • Storing a stun for use with her ultimate can turn the tide of a team fight.
  • Striking killing blows on minions with Disintegrate enables Annie to farm extremely well early in the game.
  • Molten Shield is a good spell to cast to work up to Annie's stun, so sometimes it's beneficial to grab at least 1 rank in it early.

Playing Against LeBlanc

  • LeBlanc's ultimate can create fake LeBlancs during her spellcast or, rarely, at a distant position.
  • The fake LeBlanc created at a distance will always run at the nearest Champion, cast a harmless spell, then immediately disappear.
  • Attacking LeBlanc first avoids most of her tricks, especially if she's recently used her dash, Distortion.
  • Stunning or silencing LeBlanc will prevent her from activating the return part of Distortion.
