What purpose does this achieve? why does a support whose purpose is to lock people up has to be now given additional power after landing an ult? Your opening up another pandora box here for top lane... i can see it coming the AP tank, AP bruiser leonas marching top lane..
We are free elo created by riot. We are entirely grateful.
SaltyKracka2 votesMeddler already spoke on this.
Basically, they want to give Leona more effectiveness and more things to do when her combo's on cooldown.
Darth Sidiouss1 votesShes a support. She shouldn't be able to do much after an all-in anyways. This change will make her more annoying possibly stealing kills bot more often, along with a bunch of Leona's going top since she has more harass on her R now.
Beldair1 votesSo just because she is a support, she shouldn't have anything to help in between cooldowns?
You don't like any buffs to any supports?
Darth Sidiouss1 votesI don't mind a buff if keeps the champion healthy, but shes already in good health.
SaltyKracka1 votesAnd she also has less damage on her basic spells.
Riot's not a bunch of retards.
Darth Sidiouss1 votesI am sure they're not but there is a phrase that goes by "If something isn't broken, don't fix it." That's the mistake they always make and then if they make the mistake THEY DON'T REVERT IT.

Yeah, because God forbid we have diversity in this game... every champ needs to be completely pigeon-holed into one role.
...and that's why you aren't a game designer.
Darth Sidiouss1 votesThere is over 100 champions in the game. I think people wouldn't love the game so much if didn't have diversity.
..and that's why you lack common sense.

130 champions... and just how many are viable?
You speak of common sense, yet seem to completely lack it yourself.
No one is saying Leona needs to be God-tier top laner, just talking about viability and the ability to use a champion in more than one role.

... and thats why braum cannot be allowed to top lane, and why bard cannot be allowed anywhere but support. Designing a champion FOR support means a lot of utility and a next to 0 damage; it makes unsatisfying gameplay that is mechanically powerful and only used for the utility.
If braums Q - winters bite - was a pass-through skill shot that stopped when it hit an enemy champion, braum would be a viable top laner. Not the best, not crowding anyone out, but for people who WANT to play braum outside of his god-forced role he would be capable of it. Supports need to be based around utility, but they also need to be capable of things OTHER than support to be worthwhile as champions. Otherwise no one uses them unless theres no other option or theres a wombo combo.
edit; theres three things a champion MUST have to be viable and worthwhile;
If a champion is missing one of those, they simply arent worthwhile to play even as an off-pick because theyre either useless when behind, or dont impact decisions by the allied or enemy players.
Marshbouy1 votesOh thats why? oh thats good then. I cant play leona becasue once you go W E Q and maybe ult you got nothing except bad auto attacks
