-I don't play Leona anymore because she's been BAD for a long time. She's just notoriously a noob crusher, although good junglers know how to abuse and pressure her. Another person has been able to climb to challenger with Leona maining earlier this season, but that's another story with all the patches. -I mostly play Leona for laning phase; to get ahead early then make the game go smoothly afterward. champion.gg statistics approve of my strategy BECAUSE throughout history win rate by game length has never favored her mid-late to late game. In recent times this is evermore true if you read the graphs--statistically she's even more early game than ever. -You are getting rid of the only reason Leona should be played, and nerfing her ENTIRE gaming phase with a "buff" that does not even kick in until she has items LATE game when she will not even make it. The only sensible reasoning to the changes is if you want to make her a solo laner to actually abuse the 40% change. Or if you want her to build iceborn gauntlet and full tank, no support items, like some Koreans do. BUT how do you afford that with laughable laning pressure now unless you are not in the bot lane? You need 1.5 full tank items to get the same ARMOR as before, and you need to choose either armor OR mr if you want health too. Therefore, you need multiple FULL TANK items to get a BUFF from the patch changes. BUT where does the gold come from now?

EDIT: I forgot to mention you are kicking Leona while she's already down. And the 40% changes favors specifically aftershock only.
