The counterplay to Leona is to zone her away from her Marksman. She goes all in and doesn't have any real damage to hurt the target so you have to exploit that by going all in on the marksman so her initation is a bust.

If you are playing a harass support you should start CC'ing and putting pressure on the marksman to either back out or focus you. Leona will have to shift gears to focus you down and lay off your marksman which is where you fall back. Hopefully before Leona stuns you with her Q if she hasn't already used it.

If you are playing a sustain support you need to rush your own personal regen items and keep your mana and health up to make all ins less effective. When Leona goes in don't be the one to ever get caught.

Try to avoid. At all costs. Playing another grabber support. When two supports whose main contribution in a battle is grabbing it becomes a game of who grabs who first on bottom lane and becomes very chaotic and compeltely puts the fight in the hands of the marksman and jungler.

Avoid low mobility supports and have a lot of heavy CC or very reliable sustain. You'll also want a marksman that has a range at 550 or above. Exhaust, Heal, Cleanse, Flash, and Barrier are good item choices. Barrier in paticular as you can use it even when under diress of crowd control.

Post Level six Leona will start initating with the much harder to deal with ult rather than her E and the only way to deal with that is to continue to never stand right beside your marksman and save your ults for counter initations.
