Soraka vs LeBlanc Counter Pick

Riot scores LeBlanc a nine for mechanical difficulty and Soraka a three, and that gap accounts for much of what happens when the two meet in bot lane. LeBlanc finishes a kill in a set order: Sigil of Malice, then a Distortion entry, then a Mimic recast to set off the mark. Soraka only needs to place Equinox on the spot where that order begins. The zone silences everything inside it and roots whatever remains there when it fades, a surprisingly tidy answer to a champion whose damage depends on casting three spells back to back.

Both champions deal magic damage, so magic resistance is the only defensive stat either side invests in against the other, and both start at 30. The real differences lie elsewhere. LeBlanc has 22 base armor, rising to 93.4 at level 18 alongside 2,434 health, while Soraka reaches 117 armor and 2,101 health. LeBlanc moves at 340 units to Soraka’s 325, and Mirror Image gives her an invisible second of escape once she drops below 40 percent health, so chasing her after a trade rarely pays off.

In 173 games on patch 16.13.1, Soraka posts a 57.8 percent win rate against LeBlanc. That sample is modest, and the favorable rating comes from Starcall sustain and Wish timing rather than any kill pressure from Soraka herself: with 50 base attack damage to LeBlanc’s 55, she poses little threat without backup.
