"In 1v1 scenarios in lane, Leona has massive trade potential. Being on almost the same level as Renekton or Wukong. She can put out lots of damage and the enemy laner can do nothing about it."

I beg to differ there her AP scalings are poor more than poor awful for going into damage. She win trades by being unkillabe That shield and that stuns are almost impossible to deal with if you just go wild and just stand there hitting her she will blast you. As XstikaX her damage depends entirely of her snowballing. And a good player will play evading her skillshots and kiting her. I've tried AD Leona in dominion tough and she got more capability to fend by herself there but go for that build in SR is dangerous. Not only because you can be out traded in the early game but sadly your team will report you.
