No, it is not. But I'm not in the hype of treating everything TSM/any pro team guys say as set in stone and doing everything as they do, including calling Champions useless just because pro players don't use them in competetive play.

It's not a matter of skill of playing her, so don't bother doing that either. I am not going to pretend that I'm pro with her and it's not the point. It's a point of her having weaker tanking abilities than other tanks. You may have your opinion, based on your experience (which I might add is not extensive when it comes to Leona's mechanics, since she was released only yesterday so gratz on trying to dismiss mine when you can't have any yourself) and you may repeat it for as long as you wish. It won't change the fact that objectively, many Champions have better scaling or stronger tanking skills than she has, better and more reliable CC (her ultimate's Stun, for example, is not what I would call reliable, neither is her E, if not playing against very, very slow reacting people) and are able to jungle or hold a solo lane without being easily harassed. Also, concerning pro players, as far as I'm aware, Rain Man from TSM didn't even call her a tank and stated that he would build her much like Irelia. So I'd say that she will neither replace Amumu, Alistar or Jarvan as tank in competetive play, nor she will be played much after first two weeks, first one after release and second, which will be her free week if she won't recive major buffs in the next patch. That would be my opinion, based on what everyone can read on this page and compare with skills and scaling of other tank/tanky Champions and on a couple of games that I played with her myself, against her or with her in my team. I will gladly continue this as soon as you will have something better to base your tatements uppon than dismissing other people's arguments with smileys and claims of being unskilled or repeating one opinion of her being superior to other Champions without giving any reasoning whatsoever.
