EPTI go with mpen reds because Sunlight's damage is very non-negligible, especially if you land your three aoe skills on a good number of people repeatedly.

I don't understand why you guys say CDR boots are weak on a CC machine like Leona. They're not as universally useful as mercs, but they're very good if you need to be more of a presence in teamfight imo. I go with mpen reds because Sunlight's damage is very non-negligible, especially if you land your three aoe skills on a good number of people repeatedly. iirc there was a red post that confirmed that Sunlight counts as if it's damage were dealt by the person triggering it, not Leona. this was put in place so that Sunlight wouldn't KS your carry, but it does mean that it uses their MPen and not yours. | ||

I did get mercs//ninja tabi when I was doing my like, non support leona where I got farm bot lane with a support and went wits end+frozen mallet or trinity into warmogs and atmas, but thats because I'm an actual threat to kill the people I cc and not just to set them up for my team, in which case if you're taking damage you're either ccing at a point nobody is following up on it or the other team is stupid. (and if they have aoe like kennen ult I tend to stay away until they are used on basically all melees. | ||

You 100% sure on that? I get way too many KSes for that to be true, I think >_> EDIT: even if that's true, still most of my damage is magic, so mpen is fine | ||

One of the most retarded things to see. But as Smash mentioned Panth+leona lane is pretty fucking insane. We shut down a vayne soraka lane really hard. Too bad vayne still hit really hard. Like wtf. | ||

Heal/CV Leona is like my favorite support atm. 3 stuns so many stuns. You can shut down someone for 4 seconds by yourself easy. With max cdr your Q is on a 4 second cd. 1.25 second stun every 4 second OP. Your passive also does ridic damage if they're not expecting it.

I've been running jarvan Leona with my team and putting a strong ad lane top like vayne graves or Cait and its been working out amazing so far. It seems like Gosse style Jarvan/Leona is really about the cc chain and Jarvan's nice early game burst. I've never played it but I'd imagine that Panth/Leona would be just as strong or stronger. Jarvan's knockup is basically a 1 second stun. Panth has a 1 second stun that's arguably easier to land. Panth's also has a ton more damage than Jarvan. | ||

J4/Leona sacrifice a bit of early game dominance for team fighting abilities. Even if you don't win your lane as J4/Leona(you shouldn't), the amount of utility the two champions provide is huge in any team fight. Pan/Leona is basically crushing the other lane, Mogwai is right that when you reach lvl 2 the other lane dies or you are doing it wrong. The downside of this I believe is that that team comp's team fight abilities is not as strong as J4/Leona. So pick and choose, although I think Pantheon/Leona is stronger in solo queue just because how hard you roll the other bot lane while J4 is better in arranged. | ||

These games have largely been over by the time I've finished Reverie/Mercs, maybe a HoG or Aegis, and I've been spamming wards+Oracles - however, if things go on for longer, should I save up towards Glacial Shroud/Frozen Heart, or just build a few Kindlegems for HP + CDR? Is it ever worth buying Soul Shroud? Also - any good VoDs/replays of Mantheon/Jarman+Leona bot lane shenanigans? Haven't managed to persuade any randoms to give it a go at my ELO, alas. | ||

my last game [summs: exhaust/ignite] (AD Nid/Leona vs Cait/Nunu): started with rejuv 2 wards 2 pots into straight emblem of valor. i was only able to afford it after winning 2 team fights. this isn't a typical lane though since nid is weak early game. once she hit 6, we won every team fight if i initiated with ult. grabbed HoG and didn't build philo for a long time. i noticed i was starved on ward money. i usually only had a ward or two in my pocket the entire time until late game. overall i think it worked well. i want to try this start again with a more conventional lane (i think it can only get better anyway). | ||
