Is Xerath better when played alongside LeBlanc?

There is no ideal ally for Xerath that will 100% of the time be his ideal synergy. However, overall, LeBlanc is a very bad teammate for Xerath. By locking into the same side as Xerath, she lowers their win rate by -5.6% to 45.0%. This signals that there is a terrible strategic relationship between Xerath and LeBlanc that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

LeBlanc has a greater difficulty than Xerath. That means you must be cautious when arranging LeBlanc comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to do well with you.

When playing alongside, Xerath players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. When paired, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Conversely, by bringing Xerath and LeBlanc together, you will not be granting your other teammates enough AD. Plan to have other champs on your team that fills this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your LeBlanc teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
