Leona does NOT need a buff

Surrender at 20 states that Leona will be getting changes that she simply DOESN'T need. She has access to some of the most powerful items in the game (being a tank) and also has a more annoying stun-lock then Morgana. So why is Riot buffing her? She really does not need it. She is a low skill champion and should not be rewarded just for landing a single skillshot (with a broken hitbox) that actually passes through minions.

So why does she need a buff when she already has one of the most oppressive kits for a support in the game? I am really really tired of seeing Riot give all the love to tank supports like Leona and Braum while straight up ignoring caster supports or destroying them in reworks, like they did with Zilean.

Because after her " oppressive " kit is used, she does nothing for upwards 2-4 seconds. She E's in, Q's, Ulti's and then W's as she walks out. That isn't fun for Leona players. That's boring and unfun as a kit.

These changes make her actually feel like an oppressive support without making her borderline taking her top and doing everything she wants up there.

Leona is a worse version of braum pretty much. She also can't get away from anyone really once she is in. She will often die in the teamfight even if your team wins the fight.

they are actually getting ready to nerf her heavily, but they always buff someone slightly to push them over the edge and get the omg shes OP threads going to give the mega nerf.

They're not buffing her just to buff; they're giving her something to do while stuff is on cd. https://twitter.com/SmashGizmo/status/742958846801510401 They're also changing Sona and Lulu so I'm not sure why you're saying they pref tanks.

Or...realize Leona typically gets fucked by disengage? Literally, just play Janna and crap on her
