Talk:Leona/@comment-3985944-20110714022516

I'm not sure I'm entirely satisfied to be honest. [B]The concept of a female tank was great, but she doesn't look like much of a tank of a tank to me.[/B] When they described her, I believe [B]Phreak's words were, "Leona is a pure tank"[/B], in the intro of the Champion Spotlight.

However, Leona doesn't appear to be much of a tank. [B]She just seems like a another [I]tanky-dps[/I] hybrid to me.[/B] 4/5 of the Champion Spotlight was Phreak chasing away from his team to go single out an opponent for a slay. Also, what happened to her 'Soft Taunt'?..

[B]Don't get me wrong, I think Leona is a good champion overall. She looks like a lot of fun to play, but I feel like Riot didn't exactly deliver what most of us wanted out of the character. [I]A 'pure tank' female.[/I][/B]

In my opinion, her [B]Eclipse (AoE Shield>Damage) should be adjusted.[/B] It is just a beefed version of Jarvan's shield. This doesn't really provide any sort of a taunt at all, if anything [B]it currently just promotes you not being focused and enemies [I]running away from you[/I] to avoid the damage.[/B]

[B]I had an idea of how they could adjust her AoE to make her have a little more tank utility...[/B]

[B]Eclipse:[/B] Upon activation, Leona receives X bonus armor and X bonus magic resistance for 3 seconds. An explosion of damage will occur after the initial 3 seconds, [I]dealing less damage based on how much damage Leona receives over the 3 seconds[/I]. <- [B]This would create an actual 'soft taunt'[/B], it would promote targets to focus you to reduce your AoE team damage. This would be one way to tip the scales towards turning Leona into more of a tank, and less of a tanky-dps.
