^ I think if a support gets enough gold to spam wards and build 1 expensive item I think there is nothing wrong with doing so. If I recall as support and I have 2-3K gold I'm not all going to dump that on aura items.

Why not? Because if I focus all my hopes on our carries I'm usually guaranteed to lose. In soloQ it simply isn't viable to go 0 damage tank as you will get ignored and your AD carry will be too stupid to stay out of trouble. Also, because Leona will be in the enemy team during a fight I think aura items aren't that effective on her. Maybe Abyssal or Frozen Heart, but other than debuff auras I don't think she has much use for aura items. And last but not least, as support I'm already filling the most selfless role in the game, spending most of my money on wards, saving people making stupid mistakes, usually taking the role to avoid flame in the rest of the team and playing half team captain by watching the map and warning people for impending ganks, I think I'm entitled to my 1 selfish item which I don't always get either.

If more people would buy more wards I might feel less compelled to be "selfish", but I've never seen anyone but myself buy as many wards as I do (not even other supports). I buy them by the stack (5 wards) if I can and plant them all over the enemy jungle (usually around Baron mid-late game). The most I usually see from other people is 1-2 wards, if any at all.
