How about this?

- Change the passive so she can proc it on monsters with her own basic attacks.

You want jungle diversity? BÄM! One more champ able to jungle.

Riot has stated firmly that they do not want Leona to be a jungler. They're intentionally keeping her clear speed terrible to limit her power there. Leo's kit would be too powerful as a jungler.

Also, just making some champion OP in the jungle doesn't really solve jungle diversity.

Yep. I play jungle Leona a lot and I'm glad that she has crap clears. If she didn't, she'd be super OP, because her ganks are AWESOME.

Care to find me the source on that statement?

I don't think she would be op. Her skills have high cooldowns to apply her passive and early the jungle hits her like a truck even with the W-shield up.

Yeah sure she has some nice ganking cc, but other champs have that too - with more range mostly. I don't see how this would make her OP, it would just make her able to jungle. And even if it would make her op they could still tune the passive to fit the current balance state.

She adds CC and the Sunlight damage in her ganks, while also being an excellent turret diver. She also does a pretty good job as a counterganker.

Her jungle weaknesses are bad clears and poor objective control, as well as a vulnerability to cheese invades.
