I wish there were some changes that allowed leona to be slightly more flexible in roles

Awhile back, I tried out toplane leona, and it was pretty fun. However, I feel that the way Riot designed leona pretty much locks her into the support role. Her passive, sunlight, only is useful as a support. Going toplane, this ability does nothing except for ganks. Maybe if there was some armor and mr shred instead of what is now would allow her to go in other lanes (just my idea for a change, there are probably holes in it) Another reason that makes taking leona to other lanes sorta hard is her ability scaling. All the abilites scale with ap, not ad(and they're rather bad ratios as well). It'd be nice if at least 1 of the abilites scaled with AD. I can understand why the W and R are AP, and maybe the E, but i really don't get why her q is AP. Her q is a shield boop. It's not a magical shield boop. You boop someone in their face with a shield. Shield booping should not be AP.

Anyways, i really hope that perhaps in the future Leona won't be as locked into support as she is now. (yeah, there are toplane builds and even jg builds, but they aren't used commonly)

Thoughts?
