Leona i find is one of the tankiest tanks (probably cause Eclipse). I've stood several seconds in the middle on the enemy team and not die. Its hilarious... on another note:

IIRC a rioter once said that Leona was balanced around her not having much gold. Which is probably why full build leonas take decades to kill.

Tbf supports usually take a while to get tanky and due to their role of either locking down the enemy carry or peeling for their carry they function better as an off tank than a primary one.

Not saying the other people are right, but their point isn't invalid.

Also damn that game brings back memories.

That's not what off tank means, at least in the moba community.

Off is short for offensive; think Mundo type tanks.

I learned off tank in the sense of primary tank and secondary/off tank. And leo is kind of an off tank by either description. She is a pretty ineffective tank if she isn't trying to kill people.

Note that I am not saying she can't peel, just that as far as tanky supports go she is one of the worst at peeling and one of the best at going for kills/lockdown.

It was just a figurative saying. What the person meant was there was no frontline, since leona has to stay at the backline peeling for adc, even if she goes full tank.

Well that explains why I always go 7/2/16 as Leona and my adc always dies like 10 times...

Don't worry about it.

Clearly, your ADC was far enough behind that diving the enemy ADC was the clearly better decision.

Just don't think about how it came to that point and you're fine.

leona is an initiator though

leona is an initiator though

if there's a target to be picked off, go right ahead. If a team fight breaks out though she can't just initiate and leave adc alone to deal with enemy frontline.

no, leo is actually a straight main initiate in the same vein as malphite or maokai. she goes in first, and her main goal is to drain cd's out of as many enemies as possible.

Gets Annie ARAM. Starts to hear complaints about us not having a tank and them having one.

Annie: item 3027 item 3075 item 3047 item 1057 'e'

Time to catch a pedo. Cause this little girl can take a beating. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Tank supports usually don't get tanky until very late game due to lack of gold though. Where as a well played Maokai Garen Amumu will be walking through the enemy team mid game or even earlier.

That leona frontline is very cute, I think you should come closer :) Trundle

One lone support isn't really that much.

Definitely more than "no" tank, but compared to some giants up in top lane, it's pretty lacking.

One tank isn't going to do it because the enemy ALWAYS has a Lancer.

Tanks have to be assassins that can kill anyone in an extended fight and never ever die Fizz Ekko and Co.

When the enemy team's only tank is the support that isn't going to do well in early game because they're laning against me

After the first 4 members picked their own champion picks such as:

Mid: Anivia Jungle: MasterYi ADC: Ashe Support: Janna

And last but not least, the 5th player going top...........picks Riven and then complains team has no tank.

Most annoying nuisance I've ever met.

The Aqualious1 votes

Gotta love a majority of Riven players

It may be just me, but before Leona gets tanky, you are indeed playing without a tank.

Vesarixx1 votes

Or when you're still in champ select and they are last pick as either jungle or top. Had a guy do this before locking in XinZhao, then continue to complain about the lack of tanks for the entire game.

Don't you know? You're the hard carry. You can't be bothered being the tank, you're the secret Faker who's going to carry these scrubs right out of Bronze every game unless they feed the enemy carries and get too heavy for you.

You can be the tank and still carry, just pick a juggernaut!
