so Back in the glory days of league during the years of 2010-2011 when riot would pump out about 2 champions a month or so, the community wanted a female tank and riot answered us with Leona during the summer of July 2011 but riot did not want Leona to be a jungler like most tanks at the time was very capable of doing so riot had brilliant idea, "hey we want Leona to be a tank but we don't want her the the jungle, so we will give her a passive that she is incapable of using by herself that will keep her out of the jungle". The lack luster passive did not stop me or mostpeople from playing her in the jungle, i mostly play her top and mid, but people are playing her has support which she was not really intended for so guess what she was too strong for a support role so from 2011-2018 Leona has being nerf and slight rebuff but mostly nerf because a champion they design 7 years ago that was never intended to be a support is being played has a support because its the only way to make use of her passive. but what killed solo lane Leona was patch v6.14. so riot can Leona get a rework to be the female tank that we was suppose to get back in the year of 2011 July that you fail to deliver because you completely ignored her during the tank vanguard update. riot you still don't even classified Leona has a support so why is she treated like one and even nerf to the level that she is now even worse than most supports

a champion that was completely destroying everyone until just a few patches ago gets nerfed for doing too much damage now she isn't completely dominating everyone "can she get a rework?"

Leona is still a tank, it doesn't matter if she is a support champion or not. She builds tanky and her kit makes her tankier and she has all the properties of a tank champion... i don't think you know what you are talking about

No one wanted or wants Leona to do Ornn levels of damage. Anyone who says they do is either a bias Leona main or doesn't know what they are talking about. Tanks aren't meant to do lots of damage, they are made to soak up a lot of damage while tossing out CC to control the fight. Leona is fine and she is one of the few champions that has seen consistent win rates, sprinkling of play throughout the pro season in every season and does her job incredibly well, peel and CC, there is no reason to force a rework just because you don't like that Leona isn't the power fantasy of what you think tanks should be.

Played her for the first time in like a year today, she's fine. Just put your big boy pants on and go ham!

What part of Tank-support do you not understand? She is both, and does it very well. To the point that she was downright oppressive in preseason. If you want a female jungling Tank, try Sej.

sunlight (passive): "Damaging spells afflict enemies with Sunlight for 1.5 seconds. When allied Champions deal damage to those targets, they consume the Sunlight to deal additional magic damage."
