I've tried Leona, she's definately a little more tanky, but I find that going aggressive will just take too long finishing off one person, and they'll target my partner down first. Going Volibear adds a lot more "Threat" in that they focus you down because they think they can/have to, it doesn't add that. extra damage from the passive - an extra 20 damage to one target at level 1, up to bonus 175 damage at level 3 if you and your lane partner sync up perfectly...

If you get "walled" out of your lane early on by a high-damage high-CC lane, like morgana and ashe, and not be able to block them off... then yeah, with Voli you'll be kinda screwed as you need that threat in his game IMO... but they're both great choices, Voli and Leona. There's no one catch-all-champion that wins games perfectly and is easy to play - if you have skill and know what to do with a champion, they can be just as powerful as some of the other choices.
