i cant believe that for about... half a year after her release NONE, really NONE considered her a serious pick, in contrary, she was considered troll and lame (not excluding myself from this btw) xD

she failed at jungling (too slow, no sustain, ganks are depending on a slow skill shot), top lane was wasted to her because she was countered by like... anyone while not snowballing at all, and she couldnt go mid against casters of course.

but then, people started playing her as support and voilà: she excells as an aggressive side kick on bot lane, the buff of heal and the current meta in which you take this summoner spell on the AD carry or/and the support benefitted her a lot and nowadays, she is a great pick and an unmatched, hefty, highly disruptive CC machine that is only matched by good old alistar.

long story short: laning with a well played Leona is a breeze even against Soraka or Sona lanes because the CC/damage burst with her passive is just insane. cheers to whoever started this, because it is genius and made laning bot so much more fun and exciting now that aggressive supports are "legit" rather than always being flamed by "why the hell you pick this champion i need heal" like it used to be not too long ago.
