How to Beat Ahri as LeBlanc (Mid)

While statistically LeBlanc is slightly stronger than Ahri in the mid lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that LeBlanc deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Ahri has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of LeBlanc is higher farming statistics (ranked 48th among role champions) (versus 51st for Ahri), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.5 versus 2.7) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the LeBlanc Mid versus Ahri Mid matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the LeBlanc player to maintain constant pressure on Ahri, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

LeBlanc tips:

  • Distortion allows you to be aggressive with your other spells while being able to return to safety.
  • Using Distortion can help your positioning to land Ethereal Chains.
  • You can chain Sigil of Malice and Ethereal Chains to prevent characters with blink from escaping for up to 4 seconds.

Playing Against Ahri

  • Ahri's survivability is dramatically reduced when her Ultimate, Spirit Rush, is down.
  • Stay behind minions to make Charm difficult to land, this will reduce Ahri's damage potential significantly.
