  • You can use the minimap ally icons to cast Hero's Entrance.
  • You can use the step back from Justice Punch to dodge enemy spells.

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.
