Introduction

Hi, my name is DarkKnightIvan, and today Im going to show you the best High ELO build for Leona playing as a support.

Pros / Cons

+Great Initiation
+Great Peeling
+Very Tanky
Leona is a natural tank. She can soak up a lot of damage and assist her mates. Leona's skills increase the overall damage of your team due to her passive. Her long CC combo can lock down high priority targets for a whole teamfight.

Early Laning

Early Laning
The early game is all about getting an advantage on farm and money.
Try to utilize every Relic Shield stack and push the very first wave to their tower. At this point most junglers will not be ready to gank, yet.
By pushing the first wave to the enemy tower you will be level 2 before them, trading now will result in a heavy win for your lane and basically win the lane.

Mid Game

The first Tier 3 towers are starting to fall. Gain control over dragon and keep up your 3/3 wards on the map.
Since you cannot spam wards, stay with your ADC and get more money with Targon's Brace.
Little skirmishes will break out, use your vision wisely to win these.

Late Game

Due to your gold income with Face of the Mountain, you are pretty much one of the tankiest people in the game now.
Your Eclipse scales with your maximum armor and magic resist, making it incredibly strong lategame.
Your focus now should be:
Catch enemies that are out of position > Peel and Protect your ADC > Initiate

If your team does not have another main initiator, it is your job. In that case, initiate a fight with one of the combos in the combo section above and then back off to peel and protect your ADC!

Warding

You are only able to put up 3 Stealth Ward and 1 Vision Ward.
Here is a map of possible locations. The limited amount of wards force you to use them according to the situation. Ask your team to use their ward-limit as well to cover as much as possible:

Summoner Spells

A simple rule to choose between Exhaust or Ignite is the amount of assassins in the enemy team you need to keep away from your carry. Even one assassin can screw your ADC over.

Which means:
Assassins in enemy team? YES - Exhaust
Assassins in enemy team? NO - Ignite
