Leona needs a better passive...

ZenithEevee·Oct 29, 2014·2 votes·529 views

Alright, i'll get this straight out there, Leona's passive DOES NOT fit in with her kit..

1: the Majority of her kit yells out Self reliance and CC, while her passive yells out Team reliance.

2: Leona, even as a support, Is very Aggressive, as her E literately puts her face to face with the enemy, and her passive does nothing for Her as a solo laner.

3: As a final thing, Leona would be much better with a Lux passive, where She and other ally's can activate it, instead of just other allies.

Supports aren't designed to solo lane... and when they do well you know what happens Soraka Lulu Alistar

I only seen one soraka that's not support, and she was a mid.

Lulu Top did not work that well, imo.

Alistar.. I mean, cmon, the guys a freakin bull.. that's like trying to make mundo go where he doesn't please..

Lulu top did work well. Easy poke, shield off poke, dual usage in either speed boost away from or polymorph an incoming threat.

AD Thresh top isn't viable?

1: I disagree, I think her kit yells out lock down while an allie beats the hell out of them. Making her passive fit. 2: Again, her aggressive playstyle is complimented by her allies being aggressive, Leona shouldn't be able to be aggressive by herself with the amount of CC she has and have amazing solo damage on top of it. 3: Rito has commented on the reason Leona's passive not being more like Lux's is because it would make her potentially OP in a jungler role.

I have seen it a few times as well and it wasn't bad, so you can imagine how crazy it would be if she could proc her own passive and have godly clear times.

You do also remember Leona, as far as I know, does not have a scaling attack damage, And at an extra 35 damage, and that's just around like lvl 5, at that level, its not that much damage.. I mean, unless your building AD JG Leona, it would only increase it by a max of like 4 hits..

The first two bullet points were my own opinion, the third about her being too strong in the jungle was more of a statement straight from rito. (that I happen to agree with)

Also, the big points you made for Leona needing a better passive is 1) because it fits better in her kit, and 2) because it doesn't help her solo. Neither of which really justify buffing a support champ - do you feel she is weak in lane / team fights?
