How to beat LeBlanc as Qiyana: the early game

LeBlanc owns levels 1 through 5: her Sigil-plus-Distortion combo out-bursts your early kit and her W dash escapes any Audacity answer, so she zones you off CS and roams on the lead. Play defensive, give up the aggression the chart shows, and just farm without dying to a chained combo. Track LeBlanc Distortion (W): 15s at rank 1, 10s max, with a 4-second return window — punish the return spot; she has no escape for the next 10+ seconds.
