Yeah, i'll continue with my strange ideas.

What do you think about Jungle Leona ? She cleans the jungle correctly, not so fast but still with high HP ( OP Eclipse ). About ganks, she can go in with her Zenith Blade , like Amumu will do with his bandage. And then she will stun everybody, as a Leona is supposed to do.

She really reminds me of Amumu, for her Zenith Blade , and for her ult, Solar Flare , which is really similar to Mumu's ult.


The only problem is that I still don't know how to build her. I basically build her quite tanky, but still with some damage and AD.

You build her the same way you build Amumu, except with no reason to have AP.

Similar to how everything that Nautilius does as a support, Leona does it better, the same holds true for Leona jungle. Her early clear time and jungle survivability leave quite a bit to be desired, and she can't counter jungle. She doesn't even get significantly more gold or xp as a Jungler. It can work, it's just far from optimal.

If only IronStylus could convince the rest of the rioters to allow Leona to rpoc her own passive on jungle creeps...

Haha +1 ! But well, I don't see how Nautilus does all better than Leona in the jungle. 3 stuns = awesome ganks. 2 different gank styles, but both can do awesome ganks. And I find Leona's survivability very decent. Maybe because I play with 6% Lifesteal in the runes..


And yeah, if her passive could work for herself on neutral monsters, it would be awesome *o*

if she could pop her own passive she would probably be played top lane more than jungle

also naut has a better pull, a snare on AA that isnt a skill, an AoE slow, i think nauts shield is better, and nauts ult isnt a skillshot unlike leonas, thats why naut does anything leona does better
Thanks to TheNamelessBard for the signature

About ganks, I prefer having 3 stuns, including one AOE stun, than Nautilus's abilities.
About cleaning camps, sure Nautilus does it better. But about ganks, I'm not sure at all.
Leona can Zenith Blade through the walls, Nautilus can't do it with his Dredge Line .

Also, Nautilus ult is not a skillshot, true. But it's a single target ability. And it's quite slow, sometimes people have the rime to go back to their tower by the time Depth Charge touches them.

No, I think Leona's ganks are better, even though Naut's camp cleaning is better. :p

Slow, no shield, no sustain.

Also because Nautilus exists.
I don't play LoL anymore.

Try it and you'll see that Leona can clean the jungle pretty easily. But well, the question is more about ganks. Leona's ganks are better than Naut's ganks, imo.

Leona is one of the best gankers if done right, but I think Leona can easily be counterjungled and other than her Eclipse, her sustain isn't the best. She doesn't fall off late-game, however, even if she did pretty bad early and mid-game.
ah, so that's how randomizing signatures works.
