Been gone a bit over a year - is Leona still complete garbage?

lol I died again·Oct 12, 2015·1 votes·776 views

I left some time in S4 during the League of Moobility.

I saw Leona's E got an incomprehensible nerf. When I left, she had horrifying base MS and required an MS active and nearly her entire kit (and sometimes, literally her entire kit) -- just to have it not be a 4v5. And she was casually hard countered by_ everyone_ because it was the league of mobility; anyone even remotely skilled or with a fragment of mobility could not be hit with her rather slow ult.

Is she still trash tier? If so, do we still pretend she's not for some insane reason? Maybe she got buffs that I didn't notice? Are we out of the league of mobility?

It would be nice for her to be playable.

I don't know why people are comparing Leona to Braum. Braum can defend and peel for ADC amazingly, nobody can defend ADC as well as Braum can, not even tahm kench, he just eats adc which is not cool since ADC has to be dealing damage in teamfights but devour can save a lot of lives. Leona on the other hand is very aggressive support, still can peel for ADC but can't defend them, however provides insane damage with passive and skills early game, and is very good initiator. (braum sucks as initiator tho)

Except for top lane. I'm not saying Top Leona is great of course, I'm just saying Top Braum is awful.

Top lane Leo is a beast, that AA>Q>AA = 300 damage at lvl 1 in less than 1 second LOLZ, to fun

Romans VI XXIIIOct 12, 20152 votes

actually the only thing braum has over her is his shield and escape potential. other than that Leo is still the All in CC Queen.

Also a stun that can be proc'd from range.

in laning phase it's not difficult for the adc to be focusing one of the other botlaners

But still requires Braum to land a hit, either an aa (which is more difficult) or his Q.

If Leona lands her E, she's likely to hit her Q. Her E goes through minions, while Braum's passive can be finished by an ally. I'd rate their stuns as relatively equal in difficulty.

Leona's CC is worse than Braums imo she's my go to support when I'm last pick

Romans VI XXIIIOct 12, 20151 votes

how is it worse? bruams is situational leos is guaranteed, and she has more of it.

Right now she can win trades 1v2 at level 3. Her ult has an extremely low cooldown for what it does and its range. And her pool party skin is amazing. http://i.imgur.com/d8qn3Te.png Worth playing.
