LeBlanc, The Deceiver



Illusions of Grandeur (Passive):
LeBlanc always appears to have maximum health to her enemies.


Ryzebot's note: This doesn't make much sense to us right now.  It's all the info we have, and we'll keep you updated on whether this really is her passive.


Shroud of Secrecy (Q):
For the next 5 seconds, LeBlanc manipulates the air around her to enter a state of semi-invisibility. While in this state, LeBlanc is still targetable, but is nearly invisible, isn’t displayed on the minimap, and all of her information is hidden from the enemy. Her base dodge increases by 1% per second every second for the duration. Upon being attacked or using this skill again, LeBlanc will leave her Shroud of Secrecy.
When leaving Shroud of Secrecy, LeBlanc detonates the spell, inflicting 75/125/175/225/275 (+0.8 AP) magic damage to those nearby and stunning them for 0.25 seconds.

Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14 second after unstealthing

Cost: No Cost





Calling of Confusion (W):
LeBlanc chants a sinful melody, inflicting the selected target with Confusion for 2/3/3/3/4 seconds and dealing 50/100/150/200/250 (+0.6 AP) magic damage.
For the duration of Confusion, all visible champions on the victim’s screen have switched names and appearances with another champion on the field, and all anti-ally targeting restrictions are lifted.

Cooldown: 15 second

Cost: No Cost



Apparition of Artifice (E):
LeBlanc conjures up a controllable Doppelganger of a chosen enemy unit, lasting 5/7.5/10/12.5/15 seconds or until destroyed. The Doppelganger retains 5/10/15/20/25% of the original target’s health, and 10/20/30/40/50% of their attack damage and ability power.
If the Doppelganger is destroyed through enemy action, it explodes, inflicting 40/75/110/145/180 (+1.2 [Doppelganger's] AP) damage to nearby enemies.
If the Doppelganger expires naturally, LeBlanc is healed for 40/75/110/145/180 (+1.2 [Doppelganger's] AP) health.

Cooldown: 30 second

Cost: No Cost



Darkness of Deception (R):
LeBlanc summons a distorting mist over her team for 5/10/15 seconds, causing allies to appear to swap names and appearances. LeBlanc can cast this spell again to end it early.
When Darkness of Deception ends, the mist surrounding LeBlanc’s allies explodes, each doing 100/200/300 (+0.5 AP) magic damage to surrounding enemies.

Cooldown: 90/80/70 second

Cost: No Cost

Haloween 2010 Content Teaser

Byronic Hero gives us a taste of some new limited edition content in his announcement


Summoners!


Now that you know the story of the Harrowing, it's time to give you a little taste of all the sweet content that's coming in the next patch. If you're a big fan of creepy costumes and candy consumption, you'll be pleased to know that there'll be plenty of that to go around come October 18th. Here's what's on the docket:


  • Limited edition Holiday Runes
  • Some sinfully sweet editions of your favorite in-game consumables
  • Frighteningly festive costumes for your minions
  • A sinister overhaul of Summoner's Rift featuring a more nocturnal motif
  • A terrifying new login to get you in the mood
  • Limited edition champion skins for a few League favorites who're really in the spirit this Harrowing!

Now, it's one thing to tell you what's coming up, but we all know that a picture is worth a thousand words. So if you've been wondering what your favorite Field of Justice looks like after dark, here's a bit of a preview!



The last time LoL had limited edition content was for the 2010 Winter Games Celebration.  If that was any indication, you might want to start saving up IP to get some new runes.  They probably won't be as good as normal Tier 3 runes, but it'll be fun to buy them just to show them off.  Also, those of you who actually buy RP will have some new spooky skins to get your hands on.  Oh Riot, how you come up with ways to seperate us and our money.

TR1CKST3R's commentary:
Well well well.  This is certainly nice to see.  Lots of champs needing buffs get them, and those champs that are in the top tiers are getting nerfs.  Evelynn's remake might mean she is no longer LoL's version of Dan (Street Fighter).  Amumu and Galio are getting the nerfbat, so maybe they won't be the top picks/bans all the time any more.  Oh, and good ol' Jax might be good again.  Maybe we'll see a new era of Jax QQ.

The Teemo rework is big news.  Now he is the mushroom version of Corki.  However, a Riot dev has stated that after those changes listed he is actually OP (!).  Expect to see the changes implemented but the numbers toned down in the next patch. 

Haloween Skins 2010 -- Speculation

TR1CKST3R writes:

Riot dev Jeff Jew has confirmed that a new Teemo skin is in the works.  With the proximity to Haloween, it would be a safe bet to say that this new skin is one of the haloween ones coming up.  It's about time Riot got back to making Teemo skins!

Other skins have not been announced, but that has not stopped the speculation.  Fiddlesticks is a good bet to get a new skins as he/she/it is already a scary character.  Perhaps we'll see a Candlejack skin?  Maybe a pupkin head skin?  We'll just have to wait and see.

I could imagine other champions like Galio and Morgana getting new haloween-themed skins.  I'm doubting Ezreal is one of the new batch considering he just got one and he has a bunch already.
