Why was leona buffed not too long ago?

UnbeatablePlayer··2 votes·491 views

I've been wondering why she got buffed. She's got 3 cc's. I'd love to see anybody play an immobile adc vs leona with only a qss and try to escape her cc chain while a fuckin malphite ults you.

Because she was really only marginally buffed, and before the buffs her 3 ccs didn't mean much, apparently, because no one was bothering to play her.

I saw plenty people playing her, buffing an already op champ is not the way to go

buffing an already op champ

Leona is not and was not op.

She is the all-in champ with the flimsiest defensive capabilities in bot lane (Contrast: Blitzcrank Alistar Thresh Nautilus ). Not to mention she pays for her offensive support by having zero in the way of defensive utility (Cough Braum Taric Cough)

Once again, Leona is not overpowered. https://champion.gg/champion/Leona 50.3% win rate with 18% play rate.... hmmm, that's slightly high, but not out of the realm of the reasonable given that she is support.

I still don't see anyone play her. It's always Braum/Thresh these days

I wasn't so much a buff as a lateral swap.

Her damage was slashed across the board to make room for some slight buffs (Ult gives glowing sword, reduced CD on shield of daybreak)
