Tank items. You do damage by being alive longer than anyone else. Maybe atmogs if your feeling frisky.

Wit's end, because it synergizes with your W and doubles as an efficient MRes item.

Leona does this by providing a low-cooldown, low-duration, single-target stun with a skillshot gap-closer to start. After she closes the gap to the enemy, she’ll be performing regular single-target stuns that really disrupt the fight or peel off a target from an ally once a fight has begun. Additionally, she has a defensive stance that allows her to soak up punishment pretty effectively and also discharges a wave of sunlight outward that causes significant damage. This mechanic acts as a sort of “soft taunt” that causes her to have some threat when she’s about to unleash a big chunk of damage, and makes her an attractive target.

what the fuck riot?
Low cooldown, low duration stun: Check
Defensive stance shield: Check
AOE dps radiating from self: Check
Gap closer: Close enough

At least she's a not a melee tank with a bunch a melee spel- fuck it nevermind.

Because there're too many CC skills now, melee heroes without a gap closer (ie. Udyr) are worthless now.

Huh, I thought her sunlight ulti was actually supposed to be a global ult. Even if not, she still sounds retarded strong. :x

Sorry, but the difference between a hard gap closer and a mini ghost is HUGE. Every viable tanky dps in top level play has a hard gap closer. Amumu, jarvan, irelia, even ww.

I do Wits end rush -> Triforce normally.

After that you really don't need more damage and my standard build goes: FoN, Randuins, finish with Shurelyas Reverie.

Chaox uses same build, can improvise if you need more of something in specific.

Wait you didn't even get to this part:
Finally, her passive, Sunlight, causes all of Leona’s spells to debuff the target, causing the next attack from an ally to do additional damage. This really encourages Leona to mark high-priority targets and let her set up opportunities for her teammates. Her power increases with the length of the fight, a common tank trait (like Singed’s Poison Trail or Amumu’s Despair, for example).

So she's like Ashe in terms of initiation though shorter stun duration and distance the shot can be fired, yet she allows a stunned initiated-upon target to be blown up even FASTER.

Why set up intricate Arrow/Wall/Barrel combos to kill Caitlyn when you can stun her once and BLOW HER THE FUCK UP.

And unless she has ratios of 0, she sounds like someone you want to build damage on, not tank.

what? no definitely not
she sounds like someone you want to keep alive and keep her debuffs on the target of choice so your damage dealers can focus them down
her inborn "taunt" is that if you leave her alive, she makes your <soraka armor buff, nunu attack speed buff, morgana black shield, whatever> nullified, so you must kill her to defend your own units. so in turn, she must build tanky so you cannot kill her

So she has
LS/Shen/Gragas' skillshot gap-closer
Shen/Udyr's shield
Sion's stun
Rumble's Q as passive
and Trundle's ult as ult.

Where did the Ashe comparison come from? She's not the only champ with a skillshot initiation skill--hers just happens to be long range and comparatively difficult to fuck up. And Leona's initiating stun will probably not have ECA's range or enormous hitbox. Most likely it will be more comparable to Bandage Toss, Rocket Grab, or Light/Dark Binding. It'll be strong, but putting it in the same league as ECA is just needless sensationalizing.

If anything, Amumu is the most relevant comparison. Skillshot stun/gap closer, persistent AoE damage, passive debuffs target with increased damage taken (-MR in Amumu's case), and, if they keep her ult, wide-area AoE CC.

Actually, these comparisons are pretty pointless seeing as every champ Riot designed as a "tank" has these elements, to varying degrees of OPness (Jarman, Malphite, Alistar, etc.).
