You teach your readers about lebllanc's level 2

make the most of it. Against favorable lane matchups,
you want to be positioned around your opponents melee
minion wave to really zone them from CS. Warding your
flanks will prevent you from getting ganked easily.
Against champions with AoE abilities (zed, lux, ziggs),
you want to stand usually away from the minion wave.
Pathing is a bitch and you don't want to make your
opponents life easy by allowing them to poke you (or
attempt to do so) while still getting CS. One of leblanc's
strengths is that she can force all of her opponents
actions to have an opportunity cost. Your opponents are
very weak once they have their main damaging ability
on cooldown and you can continue to zone them from
CS if they don't respect leblanc early on.
Likewise, against skillshot reliant champions (ezreal,
KINDA corki?), you want to be positioned in the minion
wave.
Against even lanes, or lanes with more kill pressure on
you, you want to be positioned further back, and wait for
openings to distortion in and whittle them down with
leblanc's mimic before all-inning them later.
As always, it's more valuable for leblanc to have full
health than for her to zone opponents from CS. If you're
in danger of getting hit by a skillshot, it's usually okay to
just distortion away to avoid taking damage.

This is not quite the message that you wanted to

capture. Leblanc is reliably better at ganking lanes
than she is at tower diving. Before you even think
about leaving mid, you need to assess the minion
wave of your bot lane and see if it will push favorably
to you by the time you reach your side lane (towards
your tower, or it's pushing really hard towards the
opponent tower and you see a window to tower dive)

So give your readers some actual tips!

It's obvious that it's better for a leblanc to land a double
4 man distortion than it would be for her to WQRE some
carry. Where do you draw the threshold? You don't have
to be right 100% of the time, you just have to really
teach your reader how to think.
Against what team compps (instant CC) is it better to
wait instead of trying to assassinate a carry?
Around what areas is it easier/harder to find flanks
(include: ALL areas of river), various lanes, towers,
gates, etc
