How to play as Hwei

Keep the wave pushed so LeBlanc has to spend spells on minions, but ward before stepping beyond mid lane because her gank setup is dangerous. Hold EQ when she still has W available and try to fear her committed entry.

Avoid chasing LeBlanc under her tower or past the midpoint of the lane; keep her from roaming and focus on safe wave pressure rather than forcing a kill.

LeBlanc's Distortion(W) is her main way to close on Hwei, and its committed dash gives Hwei a brief chance to land his EQ fear; LeBlanc can avoid that threat by changing her angle.

How to play as LeBlanc

Bait Hwei's EQ fear before committing with Distortion(W), or approach from an angle where he cannot easily fear your dash. Use Chain(E) when his crowd control is spent and avoid taking repeated poke while walking up.
