Thanks for the vote!

I have played around with both Armour and Magic Penetration. Both has it's uses.

When I was building Trinity Force in my build, I was running armour penetration which would help a little bit early game when you are exchanging in lane. It doesn't really help as much towards mid and end game though. The point of building the Trinity Force is to give Leona a bit of everything. You will be auto attacking more in between skills so I guess this would help out.

Magic Penetration on the other hand would help a little bit more since all her abilities scale with AP. In other words you are ignoring 10 magic resist when using all your skills. If you are running down the offense tree you will gain a further 10% reduction to magic resist. This will help out in team fights as you are doing a little bit more damage with all your skills. There are so many times when I try to secure a kill that has gotten away from the team with an ultimate and they survive by maybe 20-30HP because I wasn't running down the offense tree or magic penetration runes.

In the end it does help out a little bit whether you run Armour or Magic Penetration, but Leona isn't there to do damage. It is better than nothing but nowadays I do find myself running Armour or Magic Resist Marks. Hope that helps!

Thanks for your kind words! Leona will always be my favourite champ!

Definitely is able to carry (in a tank sense) if left to get fed/farmed too. Charging into battle and eating all their skills and walking out allows your team to clean up also. :)

I've just done a quick update on the Hall of Fame as well to show you the different routes Leona can take, if you want to check it out.

I will have a jungling section soon as well. :)

This guide is the bomb for Leona. I don't care what anyone else says. This thing has made me a really successful tank as Leona and early game she can get some decent kills in. Good job Meji.
