Elderwood LeBlanc

Picked up Elderwood LeBlanc after seeing it completely dominate my lane opponent last week, and after 55 games with it, I'm genuinely impressed by how different this skin feels compared to her classic animations. The nature theme completely transforms her deceptive assassin vibe into something more mystical, and while I initially thought the 1350 RP was a bit steep, the execution here is actually insane.

The Q feels noticeably smoother to land, probably because the magical orb has this distinct green glow that makes it easier to track in teamfights. But what really sold me was the E chain animation. Compared to other LeBlanc skins like Prestigious or Ravenborn, the root visual is so much clearer with those twisting vines that you can actually see wrapping around enemies. During a dragon fight yesterday, I managed to chain their fed ADC through three other champions because the tether was just that visible against the river terrain. The W pad leaves this beautiful flower pattern that's easier for me to track when I'm bouncing around in skirmishes, though enemies can see it better too which makes it purely cosmetic rather than pay-to-win.

Is Elderwood LeBlanc worth it for mains who already own multiple skins? Absolutely. The ult clone has this subtle leaf particle effect that makes it slightly easier to control in chaotic fights, and the whole skin just feels more responsive than base LeBlanc. My experience with Elderwood LeBlanc has been overwhelmingly positive, especially if you're someone who struggles with tracking your abilities in messy teamfights. And that recall animation with the tree transformation never gets old when you're ahead and want to tilt the enemy laner just a little more.
