She's not intended as a solo lane champion. She's got a lot of power loaded into her passive, terrible waveclear and her full combo eats a pretty big chunk of her mana pool.

You can sort of force her to work in a solo lane with an AD bruiser build - I believe the few solo lane Leona players out there pick up early Tiamat to mitigate her terrible waveclear then go Triforce but I don't know for sure. But she's not intended to function there so it'll probably never be a particularly good pick, you can just sort of make it work if you're really good at Leona in the same way you can sort of force something like Orianna support or Bard mid to work.
