Nami vs LeBlanc Counter Pick

A 25-unit range edge matters more than it sounds. Nami attacks from 550 to LeBlanc’s 525, and since LeBlanc has to step into Sigil of Malice range to begin anything, that margin holds the first trade even despite a 335 to 340 move speed deficit. The tally reads 55.5% for Nami across 299 games on patch 16.13.1. LeBlanc’s damage is magic, front-loaded and bound to cooldowns, while Ebb and Flow restores health on its bounce between allies faster than a single Distortion rotation strips it away.

Mirror Image sets the punish threshold. Below 40% health LeBlanc turns invisible for a second and leaves a clone behind, so committing Tidal Wave the instant she drops low usually wastes it. The better order lands Aqua Prison before the passive triggers, because a stun on a champion with 598 base health and 22 armor ends the exchange outright. Difficulty ratings sit at 9 for LeBlanc and 5 for Nami, and Mimic recasts whichever basic spell she reads correctly, so execution is doing visible work inside that win rate. By level 18 the split is 2,434 health and 93.4 armor against 2,056 and 117.4, meaning late fights turn on whether Ethereal Chains connects rather than on attrition. Kit reference: LeBlanc.
