It occurs to me that Leona is one of the most carry dependent supports. Her passive relies entirely on her partner to trigger it, otherwise it's worthless. Every fight you initiate depends entirely on your team's dominance, otherwise you will die. Leona is slow and lacks any means barring summoner spells to escape from a fight; you will get shot in the ass repeatedly by a carry before you get to a tower. Leona doesn't offer "poke" she secures kills. If your carry is hard-pressed, all you can do is block skillshots so they can farm. All being said, she's highly cooldown dependent so getting 40% cdr helps immensely. That's if you can afford it after wards, your philo->shurelias, hog->LOIS/RO, and boots. Aegis if you're a teamplayer.
