How to win lane as LeBlanc against Annie · 46.38% win rate (2,566 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
A burst mirror where your damage travels round-trip — combo second, return first, and let her rotation hit the after-image.
Track: Annie's R — Summon: Tibbers (130–100s cooldown). Flash-Tibbers off a stocked passive stun is her whole threat — watch the glow under her feet.
Read from LeBlanc's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Annie.
This is LeBlanc's own plan; across 2,566 pooled games the lane is leaning Annie.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | LeBlanc's Sigil-Q burst out-trades Annie at level 1 since Annie needs four spell casts to stack her Pyromania stun first. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Distortion at level 2 lets LeBlanc double-proc and leave before Pyromania is stacked — count her casts and dash in only while the counter is low. |
| Level 3 | LeBlanc | 925 against Disintegrate's 625 — so LeBlanc roots her and detonates from outside stun range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through levels 4-5 LeBlanc keeps punishing Annie — Molten Shield is a 10-second cooldown, and her stun still needs four casts to load. |
| Level 6 | LeBlanc | At level 6 LeBlanc's Mimic-doubled Chains kill Annie before her stun-into-Tibbers combo comes out, and a 130-second Tibbers that misses is a 130-second window. |
| First item | LeBlanc | With her first item LeBlanc's Q-W-RW kills Annie in one rotation — bait the Pyromania stun with a W dash, then commit on the empty counter. |
| Two+ items | Annie | Annie's fully stacked stun-into-Tibbers combo becomes a guaranteed one-shot that outpaces LeBlanc's own burst once fully itemized. |
LeBlanc holds a clear edge in the early levels since Annie needs to land four spells to stack her passive stun, and LeBlanc's Sigil-Q trade simply deals more damage faster without a setup requirement. LeBlanc should punish Annie hard whenever her passive is on cooldown, since Annie has no escape and is extremely squishy. Annie is forced to play safe and farm carefully to avoid feeding easy kills.
