Leona Theory Crafting

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Even with sub par AP ratios the CDs are manageable and with Eclipse providing bonus MR and Armor it is very possible that she could be a serviceable AP OT. Lich Bane included....Wonder why all these ideas I'm having seem to work so well lately. Must be my Q&A thread(s) being read by Riot :o[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Her ult gets 80% Found another AP tank to play....YES[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]80%.......YUPP looks like Riot still doesn't understand the concept of "balanced"....Granted the term balanced is relative to the number of viable ways to build her. 700AP 2600 HP Leona with a Lichbane...YEAH they (enemy team) be fucked. Considering the range it (her ulti) seems to have. Not to mention the rtard combo u can do Eclipse+Zenith (hits the squishie carry last) Shield Bash Stun+Ulti+Eclipse explodes. THEY DEAD....I can see why they decided not to let her proc her own passive that'd be OP with Lichbane proc amiright?[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]^^ lol[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Sokay though she seems like she'll be fun. Considering Riot forwent the standard Pam Anderson "mountains of mayhem" bust size it seems like they might have actually created a solid well rounded champion...How she can effectively tank/nuke/ dare I say MOVE in high heals is the OP thing. She should get some sort of slow debuff when moving through "muddy" terrain...Phreak said it himself she is highly mobile SUCH A MYSTERY!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]So Lich Bane will make her even more maneuverable...WOOT fun times![/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Of course :D Lichbanes how do they work? It's SCIENCE WHOA[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Just because she deals a lot of magic damage doesn't necessarily mean she's an AP tank~~ A lot of abilities are conducive to building her like an AD offtank or like a tanky DPS because of how much CC, defense, and mobility she has. I'm thinking: [[Greater Mark of Insight]] [[Greater Seal of Resilience]]/[[Greater Seal of Clarity]] [[Greater Glyph of Warding]]/[[Greater Glyph of Shielding]] [[Greater Quintessence of Swiftness]] [[Regrowth Pendant]]+[[Health Potion]] OR [[Boots of Speed]]+3 [[Health Potion]]s OR [[Doran's Shield]] OR [[Doran's Ring]] [[Philosopher's Stone]] [[Heart of Gold]] [[Mercury's Treads]] OR [[Ionian Boots of Lucidity]] OR [[Ninja Tabi]] [[Sheen]] [[Trinity Force]] [[Eleisa's Miracle]] if you didn't get Merc Treads Tanky items: [[Banshee's Veil]], [[Force of Nature]] [[Randuin's Omen]], [[Sunfire Cape]], [[Frozen Heart]] [[Aegis of the Legion]] Hell, maybe even [[Abyssal Scepter]]. CDR may be very nice on her. The more you can stun, the better. That's the main reasoning behind Frozen Heart. As a tentative final build I'm thinking: Ghost+Ignite or Flash+Ignite 0/9/21 or 9/0/21 masteries (probably 9/0/21), possibly even 9/21/0 if going for a tankier build [[Mercury's Treads]] [[Frozen Heart]] [[Force of Nature]] [[Trinity Force]] [[Guardian Angel]]? Sixth tanking item With 9/0/21 masteries and Frozen Heart, you reach 29% CDR - becoming 39% once you get a blue pot, putting you close enough to the cap that you can just spam Q and get stuns, Triforce procs, and Sunlight procs off all the time.[/quote]

[quote=Queso]Here are the numbers: [quote] [Passive] Leona's Sunlight - Leona's damaging spells affect the target with Sunlight for 3.5 seconds. When allied champions deal damage to those targets they consume the Sunlight debuff to deal additional magic damage. Bonus damage is 20/35/50/65/80/95/110/125/140 (upgrades every 2 levels). [Q] Leona's Shield of Daybreak: 45/50/55/60/65 Mana 12/11/10/9/8 sec Cooldown Leona's next autoattack deals an additional 40/70/100/130/160 (+0.3) magic damage and stuns the target for 1.25 seconds. [W] Leona's Eclipse: 60 Mana 14 sec Cooldown Leona raises her shield to gain 30/40/50/60/70 bonus Armor and Magic Resistance for 3 seconds. When the effect ends she deals 60/110/160/210/260 (+0.4) magic damage to nearby enemies and prolongs the effect for a bonus 3 seconds if any enemies are struck. [E] Leona's Zenith Blade: 60/65/70/75/80 Mana 13/12/11/10/9 sec Cooldown 700 range Leona projects a solar image of her sword which deals 60/100/140/180/220 (+0.4) magic damage to all enemies in a line. When the image fades the last enemy champion struck will be briefly immobilized and Leona will dash to them. [R] Leona's Solar Flare: 100/150/200 Mana 105/90/75 sec Cooldown 1200 range After a brief delay Leona calls down a beam of solar energy to deal 150/250/350 (+0.8) magic damage and slow enemies by 80% for 1.5 seconds. Enemies in the center of the effect are stunned instead of slowed.[/quote] http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/ikdfq/leona_numbers_and_stats/ the source of this is somebody pulling the numbers from out of some data files, so possibly they're wrong.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Pretty crappy ratios for the most part, thus proving my point that you should probably try to build her like a trinity tank instead of an AP tank. Your Q reaches under a 5 second cooldown with 40% CDR.[/quote]
