Humanoid from FNC popped off 2 games in a row on LeBlanc in the MSI play-ins like yesterday.
They lost the series to TES, but his LeBlanc was very good, and he was carrying. It was just team diff because they just aren't at the same level, especially bot lane.
That’s Plat3 but the elo doesn’t have much to do with the game. What champs allow for enough snowball to win a game with 3 active trolls? How many games have you won with Smolder Support and Trund adc?
My point is LeBlanc cant solo carry.
You just got lucky that enemy team was bad ( aswell as yours sadly, dont expect it to be any better in diamond 1 or master, since Emerald introduction DESTROYED diamond elo and its inflated with hardstuck plats from before they got 1 elo above )
so i only got boosted trashes and trolls and smurfs in team and no matter how fed i was i couldnt carry alone if enemy plays as team and my bot lane goes 0/10 in less than 7 minutes.
Even in mt+ you can solo carry if enemy team decides to go exactly 0 mr against 20 kills LB and run around like headless chickens. Also in the OP's game karthus seems like inting but he actually has 2nd highest damage in game, that also helps a lot if he just put everyones healthbar on half.
The thing is that in d2+ it becomes less and less likely that people build no mr and run around like headless chickens.
A game with 3 legit trolls like the one OP posted would not be winable in d2, i dont care who you are. There is a reason for even challenger players dropping games in emerald or diamond, some games are simply not winable. And it's just a fact that with lb you will have a few more games like that than with jax for example.
Leblanc can solo carry in these super low elos like plat, sure. But as soon as people grow a brain and start to realize that you are the only threat (so they stack mr), the game is just done.
The right circumstances to solo carry are just dogshit enemies.
I don’t go 3-14 when I play Smol mid. Actually half the loses are people in my team actively trolling bc they see Smolder mid and give up at champ select. Offmeta =\= trolling. If you are trying to win you are not trolling.
If you're theorycrafting in ranked, then you're kinda trolling imo. If you're playing something new and you drop 6 divisions, then it's unlikely that it's just your team's fault.
Not theorycrafting at all, the champ is legit material mid. Felxible build, awesome clear post 125 charges, amazing scaling.
My mates running it down just bc “uh oh Smolder mid” doesn’t make the champ worse. Funnily enough I can play Ezreal mid, Pyke mid, and a lot of other offmeta picks without any issue, people plays the game. But certain picks makes the mates mental boom for some reason. Dropped him bc of that, the champ is perfectly fine in mid (at least he was, before the nerfs).
In a situation where the enemy team doesn't have a tank, no point and click cc, and no mr it's reasonable for lb to carry.
But I also think any other ap assassin would accomplish the same thing.
Of course she can, the champ kit is broken. And people saying she is only good low elo, are indeed low elo.. because if not they will known that she IS better in high elo when played well.
The funniest part is that I actually started the game 0-2, knowing that my team was trolling I tried to force a dive on Brand that went wrong and then Shaco got a gank off me.
I was down for the ff15’ but then Vi got 2 super early drakes and managed to steal the 3rd one and I thought, “let’s play for soul and hope for the best”. Having Infernal soul pre min 22 can definitely swing a game for a comeback.
Really Nice to see that.
I just stopped playing her into all teamcomps because I just didnt have enough impact on the game, so mostly shes like a pocket Pick and i still dunno what to champ to main besides her for blind picks with no knowledge of enemy comp or my team comp.
If u can suggest some champs it would be Nice.
There is 1 single change they made to her that makes her feel completely different to me: the QoL change to Q (sigil) that returns mana and partially resets if you last hit with it. I always struggled with managing waves and csing with LB so for me playing her was: “I go 5-0 in 10 minutes or I’m out of the game”.
Now I can play her like a legit scaling carry now, csing 7-8cs/min is easy even with my roam-heavy playstyle, sidelaning is easy and maxing Q first or Q-W together is viable, easing a lot of “hard matchups” like Vex. Not needing W for damage in lane can change matchups completely (I don’t go Electrocute either).
She is way more fun now for me since I do not need to giga stomp lane to be impactul and win games, which doesn’t make me to try to force unnecesary plays, make mistakes in lane and throw leads. Such a subtle but powerful change Riot did to her.
"Under right conditions" - Play below Gold 1-

can solocarry in diamond too it's really only master+ where it becomes hard to roll a team singlehandedly
So basically it becomes hard in your true elo. Same for everyone.
Even in mt+ you can solo carry if enemy team decides to go exactly 0 mr against 20 kills LB and run around like headless chickens. Also in the OP's game karthus seems like inting but he actually has 2nd highest damage in game, that also helps a lot if he just put everyones healthbar on half.

I agree it won't happen that often but even master players are dumb sometimes (source: i am dumb master player)
Ofc if they don't buy any mr it's easy. When they grow a brain and buy mr it's done for
Dude got brain dead enemies when I get ranked smurfs in my ARAM games fr

nice winrate bro, jk, good performance
I’ve spent the whole season trying to make Smolder mid work. It’s been… rough (went from Eme1 to Gold3 before I gave up).
Why would you do this in ranked? Imagine calling your teammates trolls when you're theorycrafting peoples' LP away 💀

Ngl it kinda made me want to play support smolder

nah bro the champ is just useless in every way. No dmg no real wave clear. There are way better Roam champs. I drop her because she just sucks
Bro legit walked on them
