I want to get a support, but one that can go in other lanes as well.
My choices are either Zyra or Leona.
What is your opinion on who I should get based on their abilities and what works better in the current meta?
Thanks!
Stars Shaper1 votesZyra can go mid too and is a pain in the gluteus maximus.
TonyTonyMordecai1 votesAh. What about Leona? She has pretty good engages with her E-W-Q combo and can deal some pretty good damage, and I think Leona can go top.
Hiemdol1 votesWell, you can go Leona top, I have even seen some ambitious people take her into the jungle. But in your OP, you asked for the pick the would fit better in the current meta. Taking a high utility mage to the mid lane, like Zyra, fits well into a lot of team as long as you can play against assassins.
Taking a low damage melee tank top can have issues in the current meta. If Leona goes against a champ that can kite well, or out duel her early, she will not have the tools to make a good comeback against most top laners mid and late game. That is not to say she does not scale well, but it is at an opportunity cost. She can work really well on a low gold budget, but is not a hyper tank if she does gain a lot of gold.
Playing a hyper-tank like Maokai will make better use of the gold from top lane, as his ability to peel is very tied to his gold levels, as is his damage. And Ryze or other ranged top laners will bring more damage than a Leona could. On the other hand, like I said, Leona woks a lot off her bases stats and all the extra gold from top lane does not really help her in the same way.
But in the end, it is a game, as long as no one care if you go a non-meta tank top go for it. They are both really fun champs and i don't think either one will be a bad call.
Stars Shaper1 votesI've just seen one Leona top who went full AP (magelike because yolo). He didn't perform well. I don't know if a Tank/AP build would work.
If you don't have to unlock them you can try it.
TonyTonyMordecai1 votesI think the Top Leona only works if you go AD.
God Mode Enabled1 votesFrom a strictly support perspective, there is no better support besides Leona at the moment.
Proper use of her kit will peel harder than any other champion in the game and still allow her to be right in the front line tanking for a team, her kit when used offensively is a complete monster and her defensive peels are second to non.
there is no choice here because zyra has nothing on leona
TonyTonyMordecai1 votesK. Thanks!
Dont Smite Me1 votesif you really want a champ that can go to different lanes its zyra more than leona
TonyTonyMordecai1 votesHow come Zyra? Reasons?
Dont Smite Me1 voteszyra has some pretty out rageous damage thoughout the whole game if shes full ap where with leona she more or less has to rely on her teamamtes to do the damage while she locks them down it would take alot more for leona to get her items to have the damage that some other top laners have as base damage like Maoakia or Renekton
TonyTonyMordecai1 votesThat helps explain things, thanks!
Dont Smite Me1 votesno problem man if you have anyother qustions feel free to ask :D
Onegarion1 votesLeona all the way. Her combos through CC lock is just godlike for teamfights. She is such a great tank and makes aggressive play all the more pleasing and viable. As a support main I wouldn't touch Zyra atm. While she can have some of the higher damage especially with an AP build she lacks the overall aggressive play that Leona has and a decent bot lane wouldn't fall pray to her. There is a reason that many players don't go zyra atm and Leona is in the top 5.
If you are looking for versatility though Zyra is the better pick. Zyra can go to other lanes while Leona is pretty much stuck to the bot lane.
Don't listen to people that say Leona is reliant on her teammates because her damage is actually very high and I get a lot of FB with the early strength leona has. While Zyra's late game is better in terms of damage, Leona is much better in terms of CC and peel while still dealing good damage in conjuncture with her Passive she deals a lot of damage for a tank
CoolKnightST1 votesI would go for 
their is no way you could use 
effectively in a other lanes than support in higher brackets of play.
Both supports are extreemly different:
is more of a poke/burst style of champion. She has crazy carry potentional but her skillcap is hugh. Additionaly their is a hugh differents in playstyle between midlane & support. I'm not sure it's worth to master Zyra. is more off a aggressive/tanky style of champion. It's a really solid support with good damage and probaly one of the most used supports to get yourself into a higher bracket.If you want support that also perform in other lanes. Try
