Leona wasn't meant to be a support?? I'm pretty sure she was meant to be a support tank and then just ended up not being that tanky due to the 0cs support meta.
Also I drew another League/pop culture mash up
Thinking about selling prints or something? I dunno.
I'm a bit worried by how well Zyra is doing so far, it might mean that she gets the nerfbat swung at her pretty hard in season 4.
But don't you enjoy the delicious irony of Morello creating one of the most OP champions this side of old TF and Jax?
CertainlyT worked on her as well, so obviously Morello had a bad influence.
It seems interesting (and a little bit weird) that of the three support picks who are currently dominating - Zyra, Fiddlesticks, Leona - none of them were intended to be supports.
Leona? What? She seems completely geared TOWARDS being an offensive lockdown support.
Scales with HP/CDR, which was pretty much all that was on 'support items' back then.
Has a passive she cannot proc herself, making it useless in a solo lane or jungle until teamfights or ganks.
Decent HP/HP5/MP5 growth, terrible AP ratios.
She just screams 'well designed support for how itemisation was back then' to me.
leona was released when they were still designing characters that just sort of existed in absentia of the meta we know today (yes, she was designed for duo lanes, but not the euro/dreamhack adc/support meta that was not 100% used all the time as of season 1)
she just kind of eventually found a way into the support role

They claim she was not explicitly designed for 0 CS support, she was just a tank. But I don't know, I'm biased, I still have some problems with her design. I do have to admit though that when your support has no answer to lasersword you're pretty much fucked. I had someone pick support Shen into her, we fed their Ashe so hard she got a pentakill later

Well, bear in mind two things; tanks used to have identical itemisation to supports (all philo, heart of gold -> shurelia's and randuin's, etc.) and the Metagolem build was pretty solid on her. Hell, Triforce+tank Leona is still great in Dominion.
The passive is the only part of her kit that obviously screams "maybe you want to try running her with a lane partner", even though she's clearly a very effective support.
they've said leona's passive will not work on monsters because she'd be too strong a jungler (strong clear and strong ganks) and they'd have to nerf her to compensate
Also: Warwick seems to be slowly making a comeback as a bullshit top lane.
I don't think there's another top lane pick that can secure a lv 6 gank kill like Warwick can.
Trynd is really good if the jungle brings the CC rather than vice versa. Doubly so since you can dive super hard and tank turret with ult up.
WW's been nerfed into oblivion so hard that if he's being played effectively top, honestly, good for them. @Pacificstar and I both stopped running it because of how incredibly suboptimal it is.

I've seen some Warwicks absolutely dominate ranked games recently. With BotRK and SV he can become almost impossible to kill unless you blow a ton of abilities and spells on him.

It took a long time for the idea that she might work bot to catch on.

Solare Flare cast time is somewhat shorter than Crowstorm channel time.
Too soon, junior.
Best thing about Fiddlesticks?
Max rank terrify will last long enough, despite tenacity, to get through the crowstorm channel time.

here is some math to prove it

if Fids is casting Terrify on Leona you are probably in good shape anyway.
Fiddlesticks not invited to pool party ;_;
still it would be nice to be able to jungle her, maybe a passive on w that only works on neutrals? i dunno, but leona ganks are epic.

She's slow, but it worked about as well as you'd imagine when she ganked.

It's not nearly as punishing as you may think. Think rammus like. It's just hard late game because your damage falls off
