but e IS aoe

the damage lands onto anyone you hit and applies passive. Also, its ranged so lowering the CD is more useful to prevent kiting

E is not AoE, it's a skillshot.

Maxing both are viable.

Q max means more stuns and you can continue sticking to them more.

E max lower the CD for the grab to keep it in time with Q. So when you have E up, you will also have Q up.

No it's e second because e is aoe, and cd reduction too

I guess it's the opposite, Relic Shield is better early because of the extra HP and the sustain in lane. Ancient Coin won't help you early, it's better late game with the active from talisman of ascension and the engage/disengage it provides when you're doing teamfights.
And I think you shouldn't be playing Leona as a passive support. One of her weaknesses is that she can't protect her carry as other supports, you pick her to be super agressive and burst down the enemy carry.
I see you changed your matchups chapter, maybe you should mention how Janna's Q interrupts Zenith Blade and she can't execute her combo.

A passive Leona... That better only be lvl 1.

Thank for suggestion! I did fix the "Teammates and Opponents". About the runes, I really want to maximize her abilities of doing damage to enemy team. Sometimes, extremly tanky is not a good choice because there are (usually) semi-tanker in top lane. About the items, I really don't think Relic Shield is gonna help Leona at early game, it has more use in late game than early game, I go with Ancient Coin in order to complete Talisman of Ascension which is a super helpful item for general support, it gives her more mobility in ganking roaming to gank other lane. About Frozen Heart, like i said before Leona is a not a mana hungry champion, so Randuin's Omen can do pretty much the same as Frozen Heart, and provides her a good amount of armor.

Thank for the suggestion, I was wrong in the "Teammates and Opponents" chapter!

Cheers!

I love the coding and I'm glad it isn't walls of text.
However, there are some things I disagree, specially with your matchups explanation. Saying Leona is strong against Janna but weak against Blitzcrank is really, really wrong. Also, I'm not sure about Glyph of Mana Regeneration and Mark of Hybrid Penetration.
And being a tanky champion, Leona synergizes with so many items... You could have mentioned more boots options, Relic Shield, Frozen Heart.

I'm not upvoting yet, but I believe you can improve a lot :)

Thank man! I did consider to add Relic Shield, but I just don't like to use it that much! She usually got poked a lot using it. I'm a kinda passive player so .. YEAH!

Cheers!

Thank for the suggestion! I will try to improve this guide from time to time. Actually, I didn't mean to say that no one plays Leona, I meant she is underestimated ^^!

Cheers!

A few things to call you out on
No one plays Leona my ***
Max q second for faster cd
Your items dont have enough alts and have some cdr overlap
Runes(Glyphs) are a little messed up
Needs more summoner spell alts

This guide is annoys me. Its too beautiful, it is harder to stare at than Leona herself! I can't take all the designs! MAKE IT STOP!

No really, it is really well made. But you should add more starter item options like Relic Shield or Doran's Shield. That's all for me.
