LeBlanc Scaling: Grade B
Reasonably well, with conditions. LeBlanc keeps real value at full build. Grade B, Okay late, in The Scaling Codex.
Reviewed for League of Legends Season 16 (2026).
Verdict. Strong until late but conditional poke-only value.
What remains
Distortion's return trip makes her the safest harasser in the game, able to take a third of a health bar and be home before the answer arrives. The chain plus its mimic is still a two-stage root that turns one caught player into a dead one.
She stops deciding fights and starts setting them up, and a picked target before an objective is how the real fight becomes four against five.
Front to back she has nothing to sell
Her damage comes in bursts with rests between them, and a burst that does not kill leaves her unarmed through the rest that follows. Against a team that groups, holds spell shields, and refuses the pick, her late game shrinks to poking and waiting for a mistake good teams do not make.
You are a pick threat, not a teamfight carry. If the chain misses, take the return trip home.

How this grade was judged
The grade weighs range, target access, sustained and burst damage, crowd control, mobility, durability, healing and shielding, resets, cooldown structure, objective and formation control, split pressure, and how well the champion survives a long fight. Builds and forms that scale differently are graded separately. This is Vambient's gameplay evaluation of coordinated late-game fights, not a win-rate calculation. Full methodology.

The grade measures one thing: how much a champion can influence a coordinated late-game objective fight once both teams reach full builds. It does not measure early strength, snowballing, or win rate. A weak late-game champion still wins by ending the game first, which is what the rest of the library teaches. How the grades are decided.
