Leona's Bestest Buddy

[quote=Frightfuljester]I main tank, I switch between Leona and Cho' Gath depending on my team comp and i have a friend that can destroy as an off tank but we have issues deciding who best fits the situation when it comes to Leona. She stays extremely mobile in a team fight making coordination, even through Vent extremely difficult and she initiates even better then Jarvan does IMO. I was thinking Garen but he doesn't have the CC to follow her in and split the aggro effectively. Any suggestions on who might be a better partner?[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]so you're looking for a off tank to lane with leona, basically?[/quote]

[quote=Urscythe]Leona needs someone with damage output to lane with, not more control. Then again, I basically look at Leona as a weaker Blitzcrank, so why take Leona at all? Leona+Lux is amusing for the double passive for unexpected burst.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]yeah i was thinking of leona/lux lane too. those passives.[/quote]

[quote=Urscythe]Someone mentioned Soraka with Leona in another thread. Eclipse+Starcall could result in some really idiotic auto-target burst, especially if they had Starcall's MR shred on them before it happened.[/quote]

[quote=samgoeslol]if you wanna play tank, dont go leona imo leona should be played as a support to use her to most potential with leona supports you can put all sorts of champions (garen would b kewl^^) tanks shouldnt duolane most of the time imo since their place is toplane to face other sustainchamps. greez sam €: imo leona doesnt work as tank because she doesnt have any form of innate sustain -> she wont be able to face other tanks toplane[/quote]

[quote=Mrs Warboys]Apparently Leona doesn't fit the metagame or some bullshit like that. Whatever, at normal levels of play (not the top 1%), I've found her to be amazing in a duo lane bot. Champs like Brand, Caitlyn, Lux have been really effective from my experience. Her tanking capabilities are, in my opinion, second to only Cho'Gath imo (only because he fits this metagame too). Build her CDR style and she's a stunning machine who is impossible to keep off the enemy carry (especially with Exhaust). The thing is, usually I'm praising unplayed and 'weak' champs as one of the only few who seems to do well with them (compared to random dudes I see online)... but to be honest, 75% of the Leonas I've played with have been pretty decent with her. Seeing as most people suck, I think that proves Leona is pretty damn good![/quote]

[quote=Searz]^No, she's an ok support. A little lacking tho. They just need to buff her supportive aspects a little (especially her ult needs a buff) and she'll be fine.[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]She makes it so easy for your jungler to gank it is not even funny T.T[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]She does make jungle ganks very easy. I'd recommend trying Leona / Maokai. Chain CC till death when the jungler comes, there's basically no escape.[/quote]
