High Elo (28:08):

B-Tier

LeBlanc is in kind of an interesting state, I don't think the champion itself is very very good in solo queue. The problem is the meta, there are champions that are too tanky to deal with in mid (Catalyst, Boneplating users). The prevalence of mage bot is problematic for LeBlanc because she wants to play flat-Pen builds but now she is forced into building early Void or a Haste build that does not feel good and you won't get the full value of this champion, and this champion doesn't have a comfortable scaling late game. And while her late game isn't bad she gets increasingly harder and unless you are an incredibly good LeBlanc you will struggle. If you do want to pick her, pick her in a niche situation where you are solo AP, have a ganking jungler, or win your matchup hard. She is too niche now.

Low Elo (1:12:55):

D-Tier

The main differences for Low-Elo is that ease of execution is way way way more important, not only how the champion is to play mechanically but also the game-plan, There are some champions that are not complicated mechanically but have a complicated game-plan. In low elo you want everything. You want to make the game forgiving as possible, and playing AoE 5v5 win-con is much easier to play. Scaling in lower ranks is incredibly powerful, everything that scales for free is very power, genuinely simplistic win con champions are high. LeBlanc doesn't have this.

Easy:

Yone - Yone is one of the easiest match-up as LeBlanc. He has one of the weakest early games and he can never win short trades, by the time he gets his first item you'll probably be full build.

Veigar - Veigar has no lane sustain or mobility, incredibly squishy at all stages of the game.

Xerath - Xerath has long range but incredibly easy to dodge his stun and the lane is unplayable for him.

Medium:

Yasuo - Yasuo is actually a skill match-up, the lane can go both ways depending on how Yasuo uses his W, but the overall match-up is incredibly Yasuo favoured.

Vex - Vex has very slow abilities making it very easy to dodge, as long as you don't W directly on top of her you can find kill opportunities.

Malzahar - There is no kill angles past level 6, you'll never have priority, but there's also no way of dying if you just focus on farming.

Hard:

Zed - One mistake in this lane against Zed can make it extremely unplayable. If you're ever behind in this match-up a good Zed can 100-0 you under tower making it incredibly impossible to get back into the game.

Orianna - With Orianna's fast waveclear and extremely low cooldowns you'll almost never have priority in lane and you'll have to choose between getting farm or taking trades.

Viktor - Viktor is by far LeBlanc's hardest match-up, his Q and E make it nearly impossible to win trades, especially when paired with Bone Plating and DFT, therefore you'll be forced into bad recalls and never get back in the game.
