Leona is known for having the following:

a) Fairly Tanky with just W
b) A gap closer
c) 3 CCs
d) no damage
e) bad AP ratios

So how do we solve this problem? Build DEEPS.

Masteries: 8/21/1 (Crit strike + ap, attack speed in offense, full 21 spec defense, and ghost)
Spells: Ghost/Ignite for KS
Runes: Armor Penetration Reds, Dodge Yellows, MR/Lvl Blues, Movement Speed Quints

Open: Doran's Blade
Boots
Phage
Youmu's Ghostblade
Bloodthirster
Phantom Dancer
Finish Frozen Mallet
Sell Doran's Blade, buy Guardian Angel


How to play:
Farm like a madman. Get your items. Abuse your stuns and beat the shit out of whoever you're attacking. They can't touch you because of your W, and they can't run from you because of your chase, and they can't chase you because of your stuns. Try to avoid fighting when your W shield is off because you get kinda squishy without it. Other than that, you run around and always kill never die.

FAQ:
Q: But Leona has no abilities that scale with damage!
A: Shut the hell up and just do it.

Q: Leona should max out CDR for max stuns, shouldn't she?
A: What the hell are you, Udyr? Leona doesn't have an ability that says "I do free damage." Why does she need more stuns when she can only poke people?

Q: Leona needs magic penetration for her spells, not armor penetration, and her attacks don't work with her passive...
A: WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK? I'm just pointing out that Leona is tanky, has much cc, and does no damage, so the obvious solution is to give her damage. And some lousy stacking spell with tiny range and shit ratios is not good damage.

Q: This is a lot of farm and Leona should be giving it to...
A: YOUR TEAMMATES ARE NOT GOING TO WIN THE GAME FOR YOU. IN FACT, THERE IS ABOUT A 50% CHANCE THAT THEY WILL IN FACT LOSE THE GAME FOR YOU. I DON'T CARE IF YOUR TEAM IS MAKING YOU BABYSIT ASHE, STEAL THAT BITCH'S FARM.

Q: Triforce
A: You fail at getting Triforce. Triforce is an item for Mordekaiser only. All of you tanky DPS fags building triforce so you can combo it with your stun, FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU for ruining a well-designed item. ITS LIKE SANGE AND YASHA.

Although this guide is top notch, I thought I forced everyone to agree that a 48 hour grace period be in place between champ release and one of these threads. And by forced I mean I said it and everyone ignored me.

I do not like your build. I tried her out as a support tank with cv+ghost and a good mix of tanky aura/cdr and g/sec items + wards. She doesn't need to deal damage and a forced dps build seems not only strange but also kind of wasted on her. Especially if you consider that a jarvan or any other AD-tank would do much more with this kind of build.

I do not like your build. Your build involves running around like a chicken while relying on your teammates to win the game for you. Your skill level becomes irrelevant with that build. This is why people that do nothing but play Janna do not deserve their ELO.

Actually thats a false and bold statement. Dedicated supports influence the game just as much as carries. The carry term is often misunderstood (especially in LoL).

Also you should not run around like a chicken if you get aegis, mercs, frozen heart and fon. You initiate teambattles and you jump on bruisers/assassins who try to zone/kill your carries. With a tank support build you are a huge part in your team.

Caller makes me laff

To be more serious though, Leona is already pretty tanky as hell with just her W. It's like Rammus's defensive ball curl 2.0. I really don't think you need many defensive items to tank anyways.

no, I don't wonder, I'm merely pointing out that unlike Neo, I don't hate you, but I still think you shouldn't be making rubbish like this guide as OPs.

Herp Derp I can't farm properly or bully people in lane so instead I'm going to play a support so I can CC you to the point where because its a team game it doesn't matter if you're better than me as long as I can CC you long enough to where my ally will be able to shoot you down and then I can laugh in your face for being bad. I'm going to try superhard in normal and ranked games because I care more about having big numbers on my summoner screen than I do at having fun. I play the game to win, not to have fun, and I build champions in the way to abuse Riot's apparent inability to balance defensive items properly.

[/sarcasm off]

But seriously, this is clearly a guide oriented towards FUN, not TRYHARDING. The title alone should have given it away. If you disagree with the guide that badly then post a build in here and I'll add it in, although with my ubiquitous commentary of course.

And I personally was upset that you made the Jarvan thread before I could create the OP. We can't win everything. If you want I'll post your build in here too, but I get to choose the headline.

i cringe every time someone takes trolling super seriously and starts getting their feathers all ruffled. that being said something really needs to be done about champion threads. maybe have it so that people have to put the patch number in the OP? and if they are joking or putting up an unconventional build have it noted?
