People should seriously try HPR/5 quints on Leona more often

One of Leona's biggest weaknesses in lane is to poke, right? So why not take some health regeneration quints to offset incoming harass damage? It's not like you can avoid taking potshots when you're trying to use a .

I've been using HP5 quints for about 2 years now and haven't changed them out, and on Leona they are so useful. But everyone else insists on flat HP, flat AR, or something offense-oriented, which isn't the most useful thing to do. It leaves you having to recall more than you'd like.

But of course, I must be downvoted for having an opinion.

~~Supports already have a lot of HP regen itemization. Personally, I'd rather have flat HP or armor early. 3 HP regen quints gives 8.1 HP / 5. This translates to ~~

Well I was about to make an argument for flat armor, but 8.1 HP per 5 * 12 ticks per minute = 97.2 hp / minute .. ?? Did I calculate that right?

Leona has 576 HP at lv 1, gets 87 HP per level. If you picked armor quints, this would add 12.78 armor, which increases your effective HP by the same amount unless there's an AP mage support, which increases her effective HP by ~ 110 or so.

Eh I can see it being a pretty good pick actually. I've seen it on Soraka a lot.

You would couple that 8.1 HP5 with her base HP5 and the amounts she gets from item 3097 and upward, along with any health potions she takes at the start. Altogether, this allows her to take considerably more harassment from an enemy.

Additionally, flat armor only works against enemy physical damage, but against magic it doesn't help.

yelloow = scaling health regeneration (+18hp/5 at lvl18) than quint (15hp/5 And armor quint (12) than yellow (9) But yeah it's pretty good ^^

HPR? I can only guess that stands for hit point regeneration. But where did you pick up such a weird acronym? The quints themselves are called Health Regeneration. And the health gain over time would be HP5.

It's moreorless meant to be HP5; people have different acronyms for it.

Essentially, 3 HP5 quints would give Leona an extra 8.1 HP regen/5 seconds.

Regen isn't bad during laning, but people generally use flat hp or armor because they're much more effective stats during fights. I'd have to survive fight for a good 50 seconds to get the same effective health out of regen runes as I do from flat health quints
