A new Leona W

So let me preface by saying that I think there's nothing wrong with the current Leona W. I simply think it could be different in a better way. So this is what i propose; change Leona's W in a way that could promote multiple ways to play her. This is my idea for a new Leona W:

Upon activation, Leona gains X armor, X magic resistance, and X damage on-hit. In addition, Shield of Daybreak gains X extra Stun Duration and Zenith Blade gains X additional range. Upon using Shield of Daybreak, Leona loses the bonus armor and magic resist and consumes the Q buff. Upon Using Zenith Blade, Leona loses the on-hit damage and consumes the E buff.

I think this would be a great option for players who want to experiment with Leona as being more than just a "go in cc bot." It would add lots of options for a more bruiser oriented damage build, while still providing the base stats needed to go in as a support even without many tank items. And if a support leona should choose not to use one of her abilities, then she has better durability and damage. Thoughts?

Interesting...not sure if I'm a fan of losing the current version for this one though. I already am a fan of bruiser Leona, I've played more than a couple games with her at top and found she's actually pretty amazing at handling ap bruisers like Morde or Gragas if she rushes BV...which brings me to my main reason for liking her as a bruiser: she's actually pretty strong even if you end up hybridizing her items a little bit. Though I usually stick with an AP/MR based "anti-mage" build on the occasion I take her top, you can build her as a Tiamat/AD bruiser, an armor based main tank, or a full MR tank and still be fine at top.

Though I think the tank builds are better when playing support.
