User blog comment:StrategicMagic/Leona - Wasted in Support/@comment-5556439-20130411234956

If you did any kind of Theorycrafting that you claim to support, then you would realise just how weak Leona would be against Hyper-Carries. Until you have irrefutable proof that she is even a slight smudge of effective in Top and doesnt just get completely out-traded everytime she tries to fight then not a single person will agree with you. And until you find that proof, well still take the naturally tanky OP as fuck awesome game changing support tank that she is in bottom lane that works every game over Jungle and Solo top Leona. The reason why she just wouldnt work,  against the REAL hyper-carries that solo top like Fiora, Gangplank, and Jax, is just look at her speed, ratios, and base damages. She was NOT intended to be top, if that was the case then they wouldnt have given her universally trash damage levels and they wouldve minimized her outrageous CC levels. Her kit would be completely different also. You have a so-so arguement that honestly just "sounds like more meta-btiching, QQ moar noob". If you think she is effective at Top, then see for yourself if she is and play her Top every match you can. Were totally fine with you having an opinion, just dont complain about something that you obviously have limited knowledge about.
