She's entirely too tanky and does entirely too much damage to be allowed to stun/lockdown through minions. Honestly tired of this no skill ho, nerf her like everyone is and make her work for her trash stuns.
redniwediS5 votesShe is allowed to do it through minions because she has to become the skillshot in order to do it.
Ok sure but why1 votesOh man, that's terrible! That would be pretty overpowered if she had two other pieces of hard cc and a way to get a massive amount of bonus armour during it, but nope! She'll pop like a balloon every single time she lands her easy, large-hitbox root!
DebugBuggin1 votesyeah right, she ones of the most tanky champs in game, "pop like a ballon". And there's no skill about landing her trash sword. Blitz is skill, braum is skill, naut is skill, yet all blocked by minions. yet leona gets to go through, honestly is ridiculous. one of the riot dev team probably a leona main so made her broken.
redniwediS1 votesIt's called sarcasm mate. Cool off before you post, then maybe it will be easier to see.
Azadethe1 votesBlitz's output is MUCH higher than Leona's. That's the trade. In addition, Blitz has no risk to his pulls. Leona risks being killed.
Braum enables the adc to stun the other laners. He does % damage and blocks incoming attacks. That's his tradeoff.
of the three, Leona is actually the least reliable vs good players. Leona also gets boxed out by aoe slow teams.
Not only that, her CC is less duration than the others. The root is a fixed .5 seconds and doesn't prevent immediate flashes, etc before she lands her 1 second Q. On the other hand, Braum's stun = long enough to kill anyone, Blitz's pull doesn't can't be interrupted except by a few skills which counter displacement.
I mean... if you're losing to Leona.... don't know what to tell you. I Jungle Leona, but when I support vs Leona I always beat her with

woodvsmurph1 votesLeona needs to engage and put herself in harm's way to do so. She also basically has to use 2 abilities e+q to make it wothwhile. Futhermore, it's a skillshot. Alistar can do the same thing, but no skillshot needed. Thesh, morg, etc. need skillshot, but get to do it from safety of range; no full-on commitment required the way leona does.
