Ravenborn LeBlanc

Grabbed Ravenborn LeBlanc from a chest last month and honestly wasn't expecting much since I usually run Coven or Championship. After around 55 games though, this skin's grown on me in ways I didn't see coming.

The Q feels way smoother to land compared to base LeBlanc, probably because the projectile's darker and easier to track against Rift terrain. Her W animation has this subtle wing spread that makes the dash feel less clunky, especially when you're trying to W back quickly after a trade. But what really sold me was during a dragon fight where I needed to assassinate their fed ADC. The E chain is so much clearer with the purple effects that I could actually tell when it was about to proc through all the chaos. Landed the full combo and we turned the fight completely. On Championship, that chain sometimes gets lost in teamfight visuals and you're left guessing if it'll pop.

Is Ravenborn LeBlanc worth it compared to other LeBlanc skins? For 975 RP it's not breaking the bank, and the recall animation with the ravens circling is pretty sick. The skin's purely cosmetic though, no actual pay-to-win advantage despite the clearer animations. My experience with Ravenborn LeBlanc has been that it sits right between the flashy expensive skins and the basic recolors. You get solid particle effects without the over-the-top visuals that can actually make combos harder to land.

If you're a LeBlanc main looking for something different from the usual picks, this one's worth considering. The darker theme fits her assassin vibe perfectly and won't tilt you with excessive effects when you need to pop off in ranked.
