It won't be viable until Leona can clear the jungle more effectively. You already have a suite of crowd control oriented ganking junglers to choose from that all sport strictly better clear times.

Zac, Jarvan IV, Nautilus, etcetc.

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.

Well, at least you added "imo" at the end.

You can't disregard her horribly slow jungle clear just because her ganks are good. Blitzcranks ganks are even better, but he's not being used as a jungler for the same reasons as Leona.

Also, what do you mean by "can clear jungle pretty easily"? That's ambiguous as ****. Every champion can clear jungle "pretty easily".
I don't play LoL anymore.

I would say, both Amumu and Sejuani fill this purpose way better, as they clear faster, can option for damage if they do very well and have also great ultimates for initiating.

Jungle Leona works, but she's better as a support. As a jungle tank, you pretty much need SotAG; problem is, she also needs Madred's or Tiamat (lol) to be able to clear. Buying Madred's as well as SotAG is a stupid idea, and Tiamat is bad on Leona.

That awkward moment when Leona's ult is AOE too, and instantly. Naut's ult lasts so much time before making the opponents jump.

@Drakon : Trinity on Leona seems not bad to me. She procs the Sheen effect with her Q. And very high MS, for better ganks.

That awkward moment when you realise Leona's ult can be dodged, cleansed and qss'd and Naut's ult can't.

That awkward moment when Leona has 3 stuns, and doesn't care about minions or walls, since her E can go through these things, while Naut can't with his anchor.

That awkward moment Sejuani jumps through your little minions aswell and can also jump through walls with ease, while adding a knockup, a slow, a stun and way more damage. Not only that, even if Sejuani misses her gap closer, she is still there, rather than Leona.

that awkward moment when you have no idea how nauts ultimate works at all, and how leonas ult has to have a sweetspot to stun
