leona can leave cass to hold it 2v1 and go gank once they all hit six
The problem with Leona is that she's really bad against a standard AD Support Healer lane. Also waiting until 6 is too long and Cass is underlevelled and worthless at that point (also a bad 1v2 against support carry)
That's what they had. Honestly Leona is just a character that shouldn't have been made when other characters with such similar playstyles exist.
Kinda disagree. Leona is good against a squishy healer lane because of the combinations she sets up. Squishy support lanes can be beat if you have enough burst damage to take someone out 100% to 0%. Pre six she has one stun, post six she has 2, if she has any sort of moderately bursty lane partner that can reliably pop her passive while bursting (ahem lux) you can easily score a 100%-0% kill.
The problem I have with the leona is the same problem i have with shen. When the game gets late she kinda gets ignorable.
Time to play a Gunblade stacking Ezreal game. Thank you for the inspiration
Thanks to 9 feeders in a game two nights ago, I had the delicious opportunity to go Triforce-Double-Gunblade-Double-Phantom-Dancer-Ionian Boots Irelia. The double-gunblade was totally suboptimal, but I was in my shits-not-given mode and it was fun to taunt the enemy team with them.

Kind of interested in running a 6 DFG Karma now...
Once she gets low on health and her passive gives her a nice boost in AP, just bust out 200% of their health bar in damage.
I don't understand why you want a leona on your team when there are infinitely better options!

I am loving Kennen.
And Gragas.
And Yorick.
Just had my last match of the day laning with Italax in a duo-top against Pantheon and Poppy. We had Amumu, Kennen (myself), Orianna (Italax), Twisted Fate, Katarina against Morgana, Warwick, Pantheon, Poppy, Akali. It felt unfair having that much range against a Pantheon/Poppy lane. Had a really nice match earlier as Gragas where I basically made the enemy team's Veigar my bitch by lobbing exploding barrels over his E and belly-rushing him to get kills. Eventually the enemy team got sick of death-by-barrel and 3-4 of them got Banshee Veils.

THAT's the thing. It's not that Leona is suboptimal so much as there are just a myriad of people who do what she does better, with an easier kit to use, to boot.
I have only won one out of 15+ games with a Leona on my team. I just constantly see Leona's missing skillshots up the wazoo that they wouldn't miss if they were Amumu or others.

I had forgotten what it felt like to destroy a team feels like with Cho'Gath. Granted, our PA group all pulled our own weights against a bad team, but there were some pretty clutch plays by everyone that made the game tons of fun. Like, Rupturing where Kassadin was porting to and us converging on him in no time. Or Gangplank ult on the low hp Yi and Mundo on top lane to ease the killing spree. Good times.
EDIT: I don't bother with Clarity on anyone nowadays. Clarity becomes useless after midgame unless people run a caster without mp regen runes. Teleport gives you way more utility AND technically you regen your mana to full if you go back then teleport back to lane.
Dude we played with Mooman last night. He runs clarity on every AP character including Cho, Sion, and Heimer. Also last night's game was super fun.
So this is an argument against clarity right?
Haha. Well, early game clarity or the game last night with double clarity in a lane isn't something to scoff at. I was speaking in terms of late game. That game last night we had double clarity on bottom lane and me 2v1 top on Cho with flash/tele. So they both worked.
That was a fun game. Dual clarity was Moo and I as Sion and Orianna. So I would do my little combo, he would stun and shield pop while I auto attacked. We got some kills. We even made them swap lanes because it was going so bad, then we killed the fresh meat, too.
(note: i am fully aware that soraka could be played well by an elephant and I was basically just observing waffle + zen + zoelef + nisi carry)

I think one of the more effective ways to playing late-game Leona is to initiate with a stun on a kill target, then spend the rest of the team fight hugging your carries and peeling for them.
Rushing Sunfire Cape really helps her mid-game presence during teamfights, even if the damage is negligible once everyone hits level 16+. Also helps farm so you actually have enough items to be tanky later.

Why can I never get a freaking penta? Why must they escape with 10 health or someone else blows their ult they've been saving for the last kill?
Also, gunblade felt really nice on Ezreal. The lower cooldown on his ult and the tiny bit of AP scaling on his Q makes me want to try an AP build to mess around.

My first attempt at gunblade stacking Ezreal.
We surrendered. Our Soraka, when not busy running rambo through the jungle, would disconnect just before team fights. She then got caught in the jungle, forcing a teamfight that got us nearly all of us killed (I got away).

It worked super well because all I did was lane against Cho'gath and do some ult snoipes. Pointless, but :bz !
Going to be hitting 30 soon finally, and I'm honestly not sure if I even want to play this game anymore. Earlier today I bought an XP boost to get me though the last few levels faster, and now I'm waiting 15 minutes to be able to even queue again because of how incredibly shitty the pvp.net client is. I have been trying to get into a match for over an hour, tried repairing the client, everything. And this happens on a regular basis for me across 3 computers. I just hate the stress of paying for something then not even being able to play the goddamn game because of how terrible their client is. With no fix in sight because they seem to be oblivious to the fact that their client is the biggest pile of shit ever. Some days are good for it, others are bad. And I really hate that whenever I decide to spend money on this game, it decides to take a complete shit on me.
And theres nothing for me to do but waste 15 minutes waiting to be able to queue because they can't get their shit straight

So, is Morgana secretly fantastic, or only good against scrubs. I've been doing pretty great in all my games with her so far, but it's hard to get a kill unless they really give it to me.
NB: I was listening to getting jiggy with it on loop
The fact that you got 25 kills and had this playing, are also, obviously related :P
Just had a fun pug game. Solo queue, but not a ranked one!... Yet.
Best moment must have been when I just res'd, shit starts going down in mid. I telep to minions in mid, which are behind the foe as the rest of my team retreats. I Demacia right on top of their morde, pinning Morde, WW and their Maokai in with me. after that beating, I ran off, but not after we had scored an ace and pushed mid to win the game. Its also important to note that our mid and bot inhibs were gone :P
At 1:08 I clapped my hands once and my face twisted into a smile.
Also today I tried playing Morgana and Yi and mostly got my face knocked right off.
People say Anivia is hard, but I don't see what's so difficult about shooting iceballs until you land one, then doing icestorm wall frostbite, or icestorm frostbite wall iceball over the wall frostbite, etc.
EDIT: Start with Warwick. He has a combo super for an ultimate; how cool is that?
you can use this to install the skins without much of a hassle
You have to be a bit careful since some of the skins aren't compatible with the new system. I think the safest bet is to avoid a lot of the total model remake skins and just go for the new colors,etc.
Some of the cool ones work tho, like the ones from Crestfall (Vayne, LeBlanc, etc.)

Well it is tough to land a wall that hinders the enemy team while at the same time not condemning your teammates into certain doom. At least in my experience with anivia's.
The gods certainly weren't role models in our sense, unless you wanted to model a Mount Olympus trailer park.
