Okay, so I've been maining Leona since my debut in gold this season, she feels really great and all, but I don't seem to be able to carry my team often... For an example, I just lost a 6/4/28 game on Leona and there was nothing I could do about our lost... I've been stuck in Gold IV promos for like forever (a week) and I really need help on how I can improve my game to be able to advance further in the rankings, I just really don't know what to do anymore :/ The team couldn't focus any objectives, Lee Sin was always killing itself (jumped into a 1v5, 2v5 at least 5 times) and Vladimir was always away doing something else. Anyway, I just really to know how I can carry these monkeys (tfs reference) anymore because if I can't win a game with a ratio over 7, I just won't be able to win my promos for Gold III at all with Leona. Thats how I feel with Leona

Based on what I see in the Match History, it looks like you had a case of a bad player dragging the rest of the team down. Lee just seems like he was asleep at the wheel or something based solely on his K/D.

One of the things I personally love about Leona is how much protection she can give her ADC against divers. I don't know why but most Leonas always like to be on that front line diving the enemy team and don't get me wrong, she definitely can and should do that in certain situations. The thing about it is, and this is especially true imo with a Zed on the enemy team, youre better off dumping all of your control into protecting your ADC rather than engaging on the enemy team. Late game especially when ADCs have the ability to tear even full built tanks apart in seconds keeping them safe from enemy assassins becomes the key to victory.

That's about all I can say really, aside from getting your team to push objectives when they have an advantage, which you can do as any role.

Also, I notice you have a Aegis of the Legion even though Lee already had Locket of the Iron Solari. Im not positive, but I don't think the aura stacks so theres no need for two members of a team to get that item. This is especially true since the only real source of AP damage on the enemy team was Teemo. And I feel like Kalista would have been better off with a GA (or maybe even a Zhonyas, even though she doesn't have any AP scaling abilities the active would help against that Zed ult, but im sure GA would have been better) as opposed to the Banshees.

At the end of the day its really hard for a support to be that game changing carrier that humps their team to victory single handedly.

Considering youre in gold I imagine it would be sort of hard for anything to really hard carry all that easily, but maybe im giving golds more credit than theyre due. =P

You can't carry with Leona if your team isn't willing to rally around you. She is extremely difficult to kill and has CC out the ass, but it is not possible to itemize her for damage without making yourself squishy.

Welcome to the support role.
