I play Anivia main and Ashe as a secondary but id like to be well rounded and learn Leona. Any tactics or help would be great. Hers what i know already: e/q combo, she can catch up with e but movement speed doesn't hurt, w can be used defensively but also offensively against minions, and she's a tank treat her like one and buff armour and health early. My equipment load out plan in chronological order is item 3065 item 3072 item 3075 item 3252 item 3153 item 3074.

Oof. Okay, you're still pretty new to the game so there's a lot to learn. I took a look at your history and you could definitely use a comprehensive build tutorial. You play a lot of Anivia, but you're building almost no Ability Power at all on her. Anivia is played as a mage. All 3 of her damaging abilities scale well with AP, so the more you build, the more damage you'll do. It isn't an exaggeration to say that every item you build on Anivia should have increase your AP. No item 3069 , no item 3800 , no item 3110 . Dealing lots of damage with her abilities is her whole deal.

Along the same lines, being a tanky front-liner is Leona's whole deal. Every single item that you build on her should give some combination of armor, MR, and health. You don't need or want anything that increases your AD or AP or attack speed. She is typically built as a support who goes into bot lane alongside a marksman. A normal build on Leona would be item 3401 item 2049 item 3117 item 3190 item 3143 item 3110 . No offense items at all. All tanky. Leona can help her team more by being an invincible initiator who either locks down an important target with her stuns or stands back to stun any assassins who go for her vulnerable teammates standing in the back. This of course means that you will not have any chance of beating an enemy champion on your own, but that's not what Leona is used for. She's designed to fight alongside her team.

If you are ever in doubt, you should follow the items that are on the Recommended tab in the in-game store. The items on that tab will be appropriate for the champion you're playing as.

I'm a support main (albeit...one in bronze) but Leona was my favorite for a while. I get Q first, then E, then W and max that first, since you're going to be tanking all the damage for your adc/team. Generally, in lane, you're also going to want to be by your adc. Maybe a little in front, but not so far ahead that they're at tower and you're near theirs. You lock them down, so just by being out of the bushes, they should be wary and back off a bit, but if they don't, you don't want to be engaged on and give the enemy team a free kill while your adc is farming.

Why waste time. She is as egocentric as the sun. Arsenal is claiming to be in ball hogging everything form.
