^ first thing, it's threat, not thread

As far as Leona's role on the team, she fits perfectly if you got a nidalee or similar at top soloing. Imo, a quick pull and stun goes a long way against soraka's silence or janna's whirlwind. And where did you get 8 seconds from? Did you miss all the comments saying how this champ NEEDS CDR? By the same logic we can say that Lux is a piece of shit, but noone is doing that. She's plenty of threat after casting her initial CC, because guess what, if you know how to play you space your spells out a bit, so your allies get the most benefit off your passive, say 140x3 = 420 raw magic dmg, just for free, for being there. Get a frozen mallet and that carry will be flashing away from you the first chance they get.

So in conclusion, Leona might be subpar when compared to other roles/champs on the team because of the way you compare her. Despite that, she doesn't rely on flash or enemy error of overextending in order to initiate. Very few champions besides her can do the same, so before you go running your mouth, figure out how short sighted you are first.
