They killed Leona

Zenith Blade width lowered from 90 to 70.

If it's something I learned from Ziggs, Elise, J4, Dr. Mundo, etc. it's that the WORST possible nerf you can give to a champion is via reducing their skillshot hitboxes. Often times you see their win rates and popularity plummet by a pretty large margin when their main skillshots are much more difficult to hit.

A width of 70 is MUCH smaller than a width of 90. It's the same as Lux's light binding, which isn't very hard to dodge. Except Leona has it at half the range.

She probably won't be played anymore. Other champions like Thresh, Nautilus, and even Taric can now hit their CC a lot easier, along with the fact that they can provide a lot more other utility than Leona ever could.

They fixed what it should have been initially, as the particle didn't match the hitbox very well

Taric can do the same thing (esp. after the mana buff now) but better, because his engage is point and click.

Just you wait till that rework

What an overreaction. It's not like it was that hard to land to begin with. She still has her amazingly high base damages, long range large aoe stun/slow ult, defensive bonus from W, etc. etc.
