League of Legends: Leblanc Rework has been Confirmed

The next rework in League of Legends has been officially confirmed, and fans can look forward to major changes for Leblanc. With Shyvanna’s anticipated rework delayed beyond 2025, Riot Games is focusing on a Noxus-themed season, tying new champions and reworks to its lore. Data miners have uncovered files on the PBE labeled “LeBlanc” and “VGU”, suggesting a full visual and gameplay update. 

The Leblanc rework will include both visual and gameplay updates, likely inspired by her Arcane counterpart from the Black Rose. Riot aims to revamp her outdated model, animations, and voice lines while reimagining her gameplay to make her abilities more dynamic. This update could refresh her identity and elevate her large collection of skins.

So without further delay let’s have a look at what to expect from a Leblanc rework.

Visual and Gameplay Update

Visual Upgrades

Leblanc’s current in-game model and animations are widely regarded as outdated. Players have long criticized her low-detail textures and minimal animations, which detract from her overall appeal. The rework will:

• Update her character model: Bringing her closer to modern design standards and potentially aligning her look with her Legends of Runeterra^[1] counterpart.
• Enhance her animations: New spell effects and animations will make her gameplay more fluid and engaging.
• Improve skins: Leblanc boasts a sizable collection of skins, including fan-favorites like Ravenborn. The rework will refresh all of them, with a focus on enhancing their unique thematic identities.

Gameplay Changes

In addition to visuals, the rework will include gameplay adjustments. While specifics remain unconfirmed, fans speculate that Riot could:

• Introduce abilities inspired by the Arcane Black Rose^[2], incorporating red magical effects, soul-draining mechanics, or multiple chains reminiscent of her interactions with Ambessa.
• Move away from shape-shifting into other champions, as Neeko already fulfills this niche.
• Retain her identity as a trickster mage but evolve her abilities to feel more impactful and versatile in modern gameplay.

Why Leblanc’s Rework Matters

Leblanc’s rework highlights Riot’s commitment to revitalizing older champions who have fallen behind in quality and relevance. She represents a prime candidate for a modern update, and her ties to Noxus and the Black Rose align perfectly with the lore-driven direction of the upcoming season. Fans also hope this sets the stage for more Noxus champions, such as Vladimir or Katarina, to receive visual updates.
