I know I should play more aggressive, but I do not know what that means. Can anyone point out my position errors so that i can improve them.
while any other mistakes are important, I think being passive in lane is my problem.
the video is only 7 minutes long
thanks for your help everyone I do not want to bump this post, but your help is great and it helped me win the last leona game i played
Yeah, I can try to get to this Friday? If that's soon enough? Else, you can also add me on league. I'm S3, I should be able to provide something useful.

MISTAKES- You hide behind your adc too oiften 0:25 you didn't connect leo q, but you forced to try to connect it. You took an auto in the process. 0:33 you failed to ward the brush morgana hides in, effectively putting ezreal and you at risk 100% of the time throughout the lane. You aren't using your targon charges to rush level 2 to cheese morgana. You are clicking your abilities to rank them up, making it harder to react if morg lands a q while you rank up. Use control+q/w/e/r. 0:59 You are not E>A>Q for maximum damage output, if you can wait for adc to proc first passive charge 1:06 You chase way too long and as a result ezreal has to blow flash, ping him to back off before you eat 200 minion damage. You need to start using potions to top your hp off. Your masteries don't let you take an extra potion, try 15/15 or 14/16. 1:29 Never targon proc caster minions, they give you the least amount of gold. 1:45 Always push out a lane when you force the enemy adc to back, it forces them to use mana to even it out or get it to your tower. 1:50 You didn't E or Q to help Ezreal push the lane, instead you tried to tell him there was no time. 2:02 You obviously see morgana headed to you, you still try to keep backing when both you and ezreal are very healthy. I don't think you're playing with smartcast, start using it. Stop rushing leona's abilities so much, take time to line up your E if you are confident they can't get away. 2:40 You are awkwardly AFKing at turret when your adc backs, either back and get sightstone/upgrade targon or roam. You are afking all the way to 3:00, when you finally can get EXP. 3:30 you are not autoing once to let ezreal get the last hit, therefore he loses cs he shouldn't have. 3:43 you aren't using targons to help ezreal last hit 4:15 you do not use eclipse to gain extra armor and do not try to fight, instead you flash away even though your Q E and exhaust are up. 4:19 NOW you use eclipse, when the whole engagement ends. 4:30 you see morgana moving up on you but you still try to 'get that last second in'. 4:50 you buy wards even though you're getting shoved in, what's the point of buying wards when you're at tower 24/7? 6:02 you don't walk in front of cait to get extra autos, you stand still to auto. 6:20 you have a pink ward but you don't use it on tri 6:46 you dove a morgana
Use Relic charges immediately when you get to lane at level 1. The first charge will refresh in time to get the first siege minion, and doing this helps rush level 2 for the engage. And be especially sure that you get all siege minions.
After landing your E, sometimes it is better to AA once before hitting Q, especially when Morg has not taken her black shield yet. The one extra auto only takes a fraction of a second and could have brought Cait low enough for Ez to finish her. The other option is to E in but save your Q in case Morg shields. Just AA and walk until the shield wears off (if you think a long trade is in your favor) or use the Q on whoever didn't get shielded.
Ez was totally correct to push before backing. The reason he was already losing minions to the tower when he returned to lane wasn't because he pushed before he backed; it was because he spent 25 seconds shopping. Under normal circumstances, he would have made it back in time to miss fewer minions than Cait did.
At 4:10, you're standing in the bush with traps. You don't know if it's warded, but you know they know you're in that bush. That's no secret. And you know Morg is in the opposite bush, and her binding is up. That wasn't a good time to be idling in a bush in the first place because it's easy for Morg to land her snare even without vision, but then you made it worse by walking onto the visible trap and needing to flash out after back-to-back snares.
Right after that, you start recalling with 750 gold. I would definitely hold out for the 800 for Sightstone. Fortunately Morg interrupts you and you do have 800 gold when you recall, but you don't get a Sightstone! It is almost always worth rushing as your first item. Vision in the lane bushes will help avoid those surprise bindings and you'll be able to ward the river too. Instead you pick up Targon's, return to lane, and ignore the huuuge wave (with a siege minion) that you could have used all 3 charges on.
Hey, if you wanna swing by the stream, I should be on tonight and tomorrow night to do a full spectate for you if you're interested. I have you on my friends list but pretty sure I did not get to spectate you yet. Stream link is here.
Alright, so I am sorry this took so very long. Life got in the way, but I got your replay reviewed.
Pros :
You engage really well, but your adc was bad and didn't back you up on a lot of them. I would recommend noting this after the first time, and pinging well in advance so they react.
Or get a non random.
Cons : Stop talking to your adc. Either get on skype or ping. Typing takes far too long.
Don't press q as a threat. Either use it, or don't use it. Else you're wasting mana.
Stop using targon stacks on caster minions. It's fine if that's all that are there and your adc needs a clutch heal. Else, it's a waste.
WARD that morgana bush. please. There's no reason to be warding behind you when you're at full health and the enemy isn't pushed to your tower. Especially @ level 3. Side note to this. Sightstone > Upgraded targons. Should have bought that on your back. The two extra charges are so much less worth than vision it's no contest.
Had you E -> aa - > Q on cait, ez probably would have gotten the kill on her early. That being said, he did screw up and hit morg with the q as well, but you could have avoided that with the extra aa.
Don't step on traps with a morg in the other bush. that's a free snare. And you lost flash for it. The traps are visible, watch for them.
