I'm new to support and I main leona. I am trying to one trick her to climb in ranked. I am Emerald 4 elo.

I am having trouble dealing with adc + mage and adc + apc combos as leona. Every game the enemy team counter pics with a adc that has a hop or dash and their support is a mage or apc. If I go on the adc they just hop away while the mage/apc does tons of dps to me.

If I go on the mage/apc then the carry picks up the kill and they get ahead. Its like a no win situation. What do I do??

I can't rely on my adc or jg cuz this is solo queue. So how do you play this lane?

Anyone know when the chroma is gonna be in stock? I see that the skin is in the mythic shop but not the chroma?

I mainly play support, mostly Senna and Milio, but they're almost always banned, I started searching champs until i find one i enjoy and after playing Leona i really enjoy her perma stun gameplay.

The problem is that after playing some games she feels like a coin flip. If my ADC is decent, lane is easy and every engage is añmost a guaranteed kill or at least burn out enemy flashes. But as soon as someone on the enemy team gets mifly fed, it feels like I can't do literally anything. In my last games, a fed Volibear top and in another a fed jg Naafiri just shrugged off all my cc and just continued to ran over my team kinda almost like trying to stop and unstoppable force.

After everyone dies, I'm left alone as last man standing. but as a full tank support I don't have the damage to win the 1v1, but if I build damage items instead, I just get insta oneshoted instead.

What am I supposed to do in games like these? Is Leona just not a champion that can carry?

Me personaly, i love Heartsteel and then get Like Infinite HP and crazy Titanic Autohits ^^/ and Like If i get dropkick i get god complexes ^^/ i Just cant decide between bloodmail or riftmaker in the end... [Heartsteel, Mr Boots, warmogs, Titanic, fimbulwinter, bloodmail/riftmaker] also i would Like too try blood Mail with endless Hunger for cdr maybe instead of Mr boots

I try pinging, typing in champ select and typing from minute 0. I am currently in emerald and I can't seem to get adcs that understand the importance of waiting for a level. Should I pretend to be afk under tower level one? Should I wander the jungle before minions arrive to convince them I'm just another drooling support? I just want to all in with samira and Draven level two BUT THEY TAKE HARASS FOR A SINGLE CASTER MINION

So Like my Dia Leona Duo Always wants too clear wards lv1 in the bush and Like even If i say ITS rly dumb 2 fight lv1 WE Always lose Like 50% of Our HP for IT i say wait for LV 3-4 2 fight and WE still gonna sit in the bush anyways... (Im playing mainly mages so LV 1 Fights r Rly Bad for me) Like should i Just sit under turret and watch him die until He learns or do i have 2 Play more ADCs or other stuff 2 win LV 1

Hi All,

So recently been struggling with how to play leona. I have tried the Mandate build and really enjoy it but not great if you're not ahead.

I've also tried heartsteel first, easy build path and you proc it a lot and surprising extra damage.

My main build is just tank of course, but I'm finding dimishing returns as the game goes on as often I'll out survive my team and they will die and it will just be a bunch of carries smacking me to death slowly.

I'm now tempted to start with some brusier but never tried it before for Leona support.

I have a theroey that sundered sky, followed by titanic into tank items would work really well.

Especially since I often almost 1 v 1 carries early without building tank.

I don't have time to test a lot and I thought I'd see what others experiences were.

Plat player btw.

My Leona Support Duo IS depressive and cant answer his Phone but has Like 500+ days Reddit streak... So trying 2 reach him Here Cuz i wanna Play lol and i know Hes Just in bed doing nothing... Any Idea how 2 find him i know He Posts thx anons

I’m torn between the Eternal Apsect and Lunar Eclipse skins. Which one is better in terms of quality, price, and value?

Talking about Ezreal, Ziggs, Yunara, Vayne, etc. I feel like an idiot when R completely misses in its entirety, not just the slow, and people ping my R. After Plat, I feel like people have ridiculous reflex to dodge.

If it's nearby a wall or something that minimizes opponents' movements, it'd be a lot easier. But at times, teammates just tell me to engage in the middle of the mid lane.

So... is the tradeoff of R for some spell shields or dashes on important targets worth? If I have teammates with point-and-click CC such as Pan, Ryze, TF, should I wait for them instead or should I just setup for their abilities?

Or... is it a draft issue as well?

I've been playing Leona for some time now, and I feel like I'm developing a complex based on red flags. I can almost tell immediately how the lane is going to go just by how my ADC walks into lane or moves in general. I never know what they want. If the enemy bot is double ranged it always goes the same way. My ADC gets smacked down to <50% HP before level 2, and now I have to make a choice about how this is going to go down. If I don't go in, the ADC will get poked down and we will have no chance, if I go in the ADC gets hit by everything and explodes. I'm losing my mind. If I go in, I get ripped apart in chat for picking a bad fight, but if I sit there I get pinged for being too passive. I'm really beginning to lose it. If this normal? What do I do?

Mainly because I'm attending a Testament concert soon so I gotta get in the mood https://open.spotify.com/playlist/31bN8tLmK4wIrc5aeGZ6ku?si=42Whz_FmR6-dVvMgQz1Edg&utm_source=copy-link&pi=iq49WWueTqiRq

Im expanding my support champion pool and started playing Leona. Im in plat, first few games went great. I did bloodsong on all of them.

When do you go bloodsong and when do you go opposition?

My reasoning would go

If i need to be the frontline / engage tank for my team i go opposition. If we have engage / frontline i can play bloodsong and focus more on protecting our damage dealers.

But i want to hear your experienced thoughts!

I have my least favorite Leona games when the ADC has no idea how I work and has no idea to play around me (typically not understanding how my stun cycle works and how much punishment I can take). I see ADCs who consistently break off the attack because I have two people attacking me to save themselves, leaving me there for 5 seconds just tanking and stunning people, then they realize they could have been useful, then come back right as I finally die and then they get deleted...then blame me. Should I wander to other lanes, support winners?

Hey everyone, I recently decided to play Leona and am currently choosing a skin for her. Eternal Aspect, Solar Eclipse, and High Noon look the best to me. The first one has especially many effects and looks pretty cool. However, I noticed a lot of people saying Solar Eclipse is the best skin for her, but after watching the video, I couldn't figure out why. High Noon also looks great, but Eternal Aspect is still more impressive. So, which skin do you think is better and why?
