Leona's W (Eclipse) giving shield

Lukes·Sep 2, 2015·1 votes·470 views

What if Leona's W granted a shield (scaled with her Max hp/Armor) for every/limited ally nearby when it explodes? It could be a slightly change for her role as a support by giving direct protection to the team (better peel for ADC, etc). What you guys think?

P.S.: It's just an idea that came through my mind. I'm not actually thinking in balance aspects (e.g. OP, good as it is, etc.). Just thought that it'd be interesting to have this attached to her kit as a support. But feel free to comment anything you want!

Leona is generally picked because she is incredibly aggressive, not defensive. Her W already gives her a very large MR/Armor boost as well as AoE damage, and that fits her aggressive playstyle very well.

I don't really think she needs any kind of buffs or nerfs as she is, but any kind of shield or extra health wouldn't make for healthy gameplay.

If anything like that were to go through, though, it might be a slight movement speed increase, or a shield for herself based enemy champions hit. (Again, though, I think she's fine)
