Leona QOL Buff

I was labbing some stuff in practice tool which included a build path for Leona jungle, when I noticed that if you build attack speed on her at all, her DPS suffers if her Q comes up during a prolonged engage because there's a pretty significant input lag not normally present on other on-hit modifier abilities ie Nasus Q, due mostly to the set speed of the shield bash animation. Could her Q be changed so that the animation speed scales up with attack speed rather than stalling out her damage altogether, so that there's no delay in using it. The tradeoff would be that her E-Q combo would be less effective if not timed properly because the stun would apply before the root wears off rather than only applying after the animation runs through. It would introduce a little bit of a skill element athough not much, and help make viable some alternate roles other than a hard engage support.
