How to win lane as LeBlanc against Taliyah · 47.82% win rate (1,058 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
You were drafted to eat exactly this — W through the wave, double-proc the sigil, and return before her rotation loads.
Track: Taliyah's W — Seismic Shove (14–8s cooldown). The shove into Unraveled Earth is her whole setup — sidestep it and the burst whiffs.
Read from LeBlanc's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Taliyah.
This is LeBlanc's own plan; across 1,058 pooled games the lane is leaning Taliyah.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | LeBlanc | You dominate early trades since Taliyah needs setup time she simply doesn't have against your poke |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Continued lane control as her combo still can't threaten you before it's fully assembled |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Full combo burst kills her outright before her own damage lands |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Combo advantage holds — wait out her 14-second Shove, then step up and detonate |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Mimic-Chain burst still wins the all-in even after she hits her ultimate |
| First item | Even / skill | Item power continues to favor your faster burst over her roam-reliant kit |
| Two+ items | LeBlanc | Full-build combo damage still favors you outright in a straight 1v1 trade |
Levels 1-2 you outpoke and outtrade her cleanly — Taliyah's combo needs real setup time and she has no answer to your Sigil range, so press every wave. She'll likely play passive and look to roam instead of trading directly. Track Seismic Shove: 14s at rank 1, 8s at rank 5 — the shove into Unraveled Earth is her whole setup, so step up once it is spent.
