What's good in solo queue isn't necessarily what's good in top play though.

Relic shield isn't worse enough to justify the gold difference when you take into consideration

a) W
b) the nature of Leona trades
c) How good Leona scales with items
d) Leona can put 21 in D, does not need as much of the utility tree as a lot of the ranged supports. (or I should say is too good with 21 D to justify deep utility ofc deep utility "could" be useful)

it (unintentionally I'm sure) is a lot better on ranged supports who want to auto trade a lot, because it allows them to get a lot more out of the trade than an adc with a dblade think, Annie, Karma, Lulu, Thresh

oh and Sona ofc, Sona virtually nonviable w/o dshield I would say she needs it more than any other support.

The problem with relic is the level 1-2, where leona sorta gets shoved on and enemies get level 2 earlier. If you can hit level 3 without getting dumped on by an all in at level 2, then relic shield is better. But Dshield mitigates a lot of the level 1-2 shenanigans that happens.

You could just buy 3 pots and it would be literally the same except you would get more gold and heal your ad a bit.Most people know you have to 1v2 pretty much really early when you playing with leona.It is standart to stay in xp range and miss a few cs not the end of world.

if only relic shield had some sort of mechanic that helped you push the lane faster at level 1....

Everyone goes Dshield on supports now...

Relic's active is actually counter-intuitive now that I think about it. It heals the ADC, but is only really usable for melles. If you are a melle support you are usually tanking the harass much more often than the ADC, thus the heal is the opposite of what you really wanted. On the other hand, Janna would love to be able to heal her ADC for getting some cs.

Also, I said this a long time ago, but the problem with all support items now is just like the original jungle items: They were either so good laners got them (old Targon) or not (so now everyone gets Dshield into Sightstone and then finally gets stone because the active is important). Its taken them more than a season to figure out how to keep jungle items in the jungle, without making junglers totally crippled in teamfights. I assume it will take just as long for these.

theres no reason for a melee to take the harass unless he's engaging himself. THe ADC has to trade with the other ADC and the melee will take incidental harass looking to engage, so it makes sense they both get healed

W actually makes Doran Shield comparatively better. 8 dmg out of 50 is much less than 8 dmg out of 30. 21 Def makes Doran's Shield even better.

You also generally want Ancient Coin as your gp10 anyway.

Dorans shield damage reduction occurs BEFORE all defensive scaling I think. Otherwise it would be broken
ancient coin is much worse as gp10 , I often get 800-1000 gold from the relic shield shit.

Problem is there is nobody who can get talisman and it is a rather strong active.Otherwise targon gives a lot more gold yeah.
