This is how big of a W scaling Leona would get if Riot's goal was to make her "scale"
I just read the latest Leona nerfs, basically she would need 150 **BONUS ** armor/mr to break even with what she used to be at. On top of the increase in early cooldown increase plus W damage decrease(since you max this first usually).
If Riot's goal was to heavily nerf her early game, in order for her to receive the equivalent reward for how badly her early game is punished, her W scaling would have to be something like:
Armor :: 25/35/45/55/65 (+20%) >>> 15/20/25/30/35 (+70%) Magic Resist :: 20/30/40/50/60 (+20%) >>> 15/20/25/30/35 (+70%)
For it to be worth it and actually "scale"....That's how ridiculous the numbers will have to be for it to be worth it. Want scale? Lets do a fair scale...not the high cost, low - mid low reward..nerf
I personally don't like the change in direction for Leona to become more scaling based, I just wanted to point out, if Riot really wanted Leona to be a scale based champion, 70% rather than 40% ratio would be what is needed for Leona to Viably "scale".
