"Why would Leona get nerfed, though? She's a good support - you're right, but definietly not top tier."

Leona's been sitting comfortably in "top 3 support" status since the beginning of S4. She's usually either got the highest or the second-highest winrate of all of the 3 across all Elos, despite Morgana (her hardest counter) being another of the top 3. Thresh is the last, if you're wondering, with the only <50% winrate of them all. (The only one that comes close to displacing any of the top 3 is Braum, but he's a weird one because of his consistent aberrantly high banrate despite constant nerfs.) So... you're either misinformed or trolling. xD

Seriously though, I don't know anyone that goes to botlane at all (aside from - shock horror - people that play Leona) that think she's at all balanced. Regardless, though - Riot hit Thresh and Braum and Morgana because "they're top-tier supports and we want some diversity" and pre-emptively nerfed Nami because "she'll totally rise to be the next top-tier support with these nerfs to other favourites" but Leona gets a pass because she's totally fine, perfectly balanced, not un-fun to play against at all and most certainly not top-tier. Hypocrisy, anyone?

(As for all the other stuff, I'd contest most of it aside from "Leona has no poke", but I've banged that drum enough. PM me if you really feel a burning need to discuss it.)
