Leona, Theoretically...can she....?
...Be, at all, with any consideration, an AD TOP bruiser? She's always support, and obviously that's because she lacks damage - almost to the point of even requiring her team to do it for her. Though curiously enough with some items + sunfire cape I've gotten a number of kills on her.
We're not questioning her ability to be a tanky support, clearly, but maybe with
she could do something? Maybe even with a
or
?? What would her runes be? Resolve/precision? I highly doubt you could go AP, I know her Ult scales off AP, as well as a lot of her kit, but that probably wouldn't work, would it?
Or could it?
is a good tanky/burn item when stacked with a lot of health, which is one thing Leona is very good at having, lol. Could do some extra burn with
.
Anyway, this is all speculation, I'm not a good person to theorize good interesting, off-meta builds that actually work which is the key thing here. I'm looking for a build that would surprise people. Her cc would definitely be good at countering a turret-diving yi. Just W when he Qs, and then Q when he lands. Get the W to go off on him and land some autos + turret fire and he'd go down fast. (though a smart Yi obviously wouldn't dive unless you were very very very very low)
, because channeling it gives you an extra spell shield, lethality, and +250 health. You can use that in addition to
, for tankiness and some lethality.
