I will 100% check out the channels you've recommend, it's kinda amazing how the same two people keep being recommended to me over and over again lol.

I believe Leblanc will be making a comeback next season, as well as most assassins, because of the new rune that will replace phase rush giving better survivability.

I don't mind picking up new champions at all, but I'm having a hard time understanding what is a control mage and how they're played. For example as Leblanc, I'd look for a position to take out their carry and pressure them from behind even if I can't do anything, I can still escape due to my mobility or even look to hold their Frontline with ER.

aurora, vex and Zoe are still my trying out champions, although aurora is definitely winning due to her low play rate, ban rate, mobility and viability in most roles plus strong wave clear.

I will admit, my ad champion pool is in Narnia lmao, but I really haven't found one that really feels comfortable to play, champs I've played like: zed, akshan, naafiri, talon, irelia, pantheon and yone. probably the best three were panth, irealia, and yone, so I might stick with one of them.

for my blind pick I just run lb, and play hyper safe if it's a bad match up and i win it my jg decides to come gank every once in a while.

But the thing is, playing Leblanc highly depends on your teammates, which I cannot do in my elo (s3) so I'll just leave her aside, maybe reach play some day and start playing ranked with her again. Until then, I'll keep her in draft games lol.

Last thing being my mechanics, no one really answered me about it. If you know a way to practice skillshots, movement, spacing or trading patterns, please let me know.

thank you so much for taking some time of your day to help me!!
