How to win lane as Locke against LeBlanc · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
An assassin mirror-war where your passive votes last — whoever hits 40% first is playing YOUR game, not her.
Track: LeBlanc's W — Distortion (15–10s cooldown). Dash with a four-second return window — punish the return spot, and remember she is broke after it.
Read from Locke's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against LeBlanc.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | LeBlanc | LeBlanc wins level 1 with superior QW poke and W safety. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays hers as her chain combo out-trades you. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out once you can match range and respect W. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill-based around her Distortion cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Locke | At 6 your ult and durability flip the all-in to you. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item you out-scale her burst and punish her W downtime. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late is skill-based and decided by roam tracking and picks. |
LeBlanc beats you at levels 1-2 with her QW chain damage and the safety of Distortion, so play back, dodge the W landing zone, and don't get chained. Early she out-trades you with the QW chain-poke and W escape, so respect her level 2-3 all-in; by 4-5 the lane evens as you match her range and hold your dash for her W engage.
