I love Leona. Before Leona I never enjoyed supporting, in part bc all I had to play was Soraka. I enjoyed setting up kills, getting some on my own, and feeding my carry. But lately I realized just how dependent I am on my carry's skill. There's nothing I can do if my carry's still csing creep behind me except run back while taking significant damage. If he's trading with Graves/Soraka there's nothing I can do about it. One of the useful skills Leona has taught me is gauging the success of an engage and well, in that situation I realize there's nothing I can do without jungler assistance. It's not that Soraka's too difficult an opponent, on the contrary she's slow and lacks any escapes. The problem is my carry's too dumb to realize that damage is going to be healed up so auto-attack trading is a no-no. You're supposed to poke, blow her heal, wait for the armor buff to disappear (or jump on the person without the buff), and then engage. Except I can't engage when my carry's chances of survival are low and their Graves is going to get fed. So, TLDR; I'm going to try Blitzcrank. That hook is op enough that I can probably get something accomplished without an intelligent carry.
