I just get a sightstone off of a flash start then rush Locket. Never felt I lacked regen and philo would have helped (you're usually all-in with your spells so no poke, no heal, etc. Leona's mana management is pretty straightforward).

Sightstone IS a gold generating item.

Farm? I don't need farm, I spend 3 times less gold on wards, and when I don't it's because I get pink wards which immediatly pays off in either a drake, a gank, or zoning the enemy while my AD farms.
That's basically the idea behind sightstone.

(I have a single support page which is armor/gp5/MR/gp5 though, and I always get the gp5 masteries.)

The most important part of GP10 before was so you could continuously buy wards and then use global gold/assists to build towards real items.

If wards are basically free then you can do more with less GP10. Just quints/masteries/objectives is enough to build up real items at a decent pace.

The other day I noticed that you can start biscuit + dshield + ward (after a little wait) with the extra gold masteries. It makes for a fun early game.

Can a leona solo lane work at all? I guess you build tanky and max cdr, but offense? Her ap ratios are pretty bad... maybe the new botrk and another ad item, or build mpen

Shurelia used to play Leona mid a lot (also confirmed by other Rioters). I don't think she still plays this game though.

ShureLily's stream was on a few days ago, but I dunno if the blue one corresponds to Shurelia or LilyPichu.

Yeah what I meant was that if the blue "persona" is Shurelia, then she was playing LoL (and streaming) a few days ago.

Yes that is her. Shurelia is like 1800~2000 Elo. Lilypichu is a terrible player lol.

Just earlier today I tried an AP Mid Leona build just for laughs with some friends, turns out with Muramana and a Lichbane build she'll end up doing well over 1k magic damage with her Q. ;-)

With the s2 DFG+Lichbane I was still able to 100-0 squishies during the midgame when playing AP Leona. I only did it once or twice and it was against pre-30 players (on a smurf myself) so... yeah. Not like it's good.

Lvl 20 myself (but mainly play with friends @ elo1300-1500+) which means I've had to play mainly support so I don't end up feeding lol.
I've just recently picked up Leona and I'm in love - the amount of initiations you can do on her is just amazing - the fact that you completely lock down a Blitzcrank is just icing on the cake. Anyway, wanted to share some thoughts:

I start 2 pots, 3 wards and then rejuv beads instead - Leona has no sustain and the healthregen just seems better than tthe mp5 from charm - or am I missing something?

I try and 'rush' boots of mobility - being able to run to mid in no time make for some strong ganks midgame. Lategame it just adds so much utility for picking up stragglers and generally just be present and constantly a threat. Overall it just feels like a better pick on most supports - although I usually get them later on other supports.

I think flash is still the strongest summoner on her - (charge W) -> E-> Q -> flash - > W BOOM for instance, nothing gets away with that combo and often you can secure that 1 or 2 extra kills on those trying to run away after a teamfight.

Exhaust with 1 point in 'Summoners Wrath' makes your early game engages so much more deadly.

Finally, please Riot give us a decent skin to her!

Iron Solari Leona? O_O

I agree with the rejuv bead instead of faerie charm. You don't even need philo. Like Alaric said, sightstone is your main gold item, then go for Locket.

As for boots... I will sit on NO boots for a looooooong time as leona, and when I do pick up boots its usually Tabi or Mobility boots.

I've been enjoying picking up Iron Solari -> Zeke's Herald. The massive CDR from zeke's is so delicious!

I've been playing Leona for a while and she is a blast to capitalize on positioning mistakes and stunlock someone to feed my carry.

However, the one support that gives me consistently a hard time is Lulu. I just can't seem to make anything work against her and playing passive just gets me and my carry harassed to hell. T_T Are there any tips to use for this matchup? I really feel like a wardbot in this kind of situation.

My standard opening is rejuv beads, 2 health pots, 3 wards and the biscuit/ward from masteries.

What are people opening and building on Leona these days? She's my go to support.
I either go for an all consumables wards/pink/pots start or rejuv/wards/pots if I think I'll need to be more passive.
I've been going sightstone -> boots -> ruby ss -> applicable boots (tabi/mercs) -> warden's and then either cowl if I'm worried about AP or finish Randuins. I know Randuins is expensive but in games that have gone on longer I just like getting it over any other support item on Leona. Could be bad but that's why I'm asking

Sounds exactly like how i would build her tbh. It's a good thing warden's mail got its cost reduced by 100, it makes such a difference, because i often recall with 1xxx rather than 11xx and i really dislike buying giant's belt first nowadays.

Feels good to be affirmed by sponkz

Cowl > aegis even on leona is the correct assessment? Aegis just feels so bad but it feels weird ignoring it after going locket/aegis every game before... Maybe versus double AP aegis would be a good pick up? It's also what I would build out of rejuv bead but that's really not critical at all. I normally sit on a kindlegem too somewhere around the time I get warden's.
