As a Leona Main, any tips?

Hey guys, I’ve been a Leona Main since Season 5, and although I’ve had quite some success with her (reaching Plat 2 seasons in a row and almost Diamond recently), I wanted to know ...

Any tips on how to survive the current meta? I get blasted so hard by everyone. Can’t tank to save my life, let alone my ADC’s. Sure I can survive a bit longer than most champions but that’s not saying much.

The core problem feels like I do my job, I catch people out, but I melt the moment I jump in and even if my team wins the fight, it feels crappy to never walk out of a fight victorious.

This is especially true when I win bot lane with my ADC but we lose the game because of another lane feeding. I can’t help but wonder if Leona is even good for this meta, when I can pick Alistar and tank with his ult, or Braum who blocks so much damage with his E.

Any tips so I can keep playing my main? Please and thank you .. oh, and praise the sun!

Well they just released a few skins on her.

Soooo, wait for the buff?

I find my biggest problem is lack of health often times. Ya I get the Relic shield start but I usually follow up with either Locket of Iron solari or one of two between Zeke's and Knight's Vow. And with the amount of burst and true damage augmented in the game, It's quite easy to take me out after going in if the team doesn't follow up at all or if the w goes on cd.

Do you use W Before you engage or after you engage

If you feel yourself blowing up more when going in maybe start peeling back with your ADC rather than hard solo engaging. Every game is different and situational for what your role in teamfights are so depends on the game.

What runes you using other than aftershock? I use to love conditioning on leona, sucks that it's now in the same row as boneplating/second wind....it just goes so well with her w...feelsbad.

Main issue is the hard nerf to health in runes and tank support item in general. Leona by herself combined with her w and aftershock is nice but health is often à problem late game. She could use hp/level increase.
