Lulu counters Leo pretty hard it's kinda ridiculous too lol. Lulu and Janna are the only ones I have a major issue trying to engage upon. Morgana can do pretty well against leo as well but it's more of she can lock someone down for far longer and provide a spell shield

I always go for ninja tabi on her, always. I usually grab it after a wardens mail and sightstone and with that much armor and the passive early on, the adc can barely dent me, but thats me personally. As any support I legit first item rush sightstone so I guess I grab health first but As a tank I generally itemize armor because the adc is my biggest threat laning phase. I also grab a spectres cowl after in case some random apc decides to gank bot lane. With those items I can grab easy upgrades when team fights happen and I grab tons of assists.

The most optimal time to engage is when you and someone else catches a squishy out in a warded spot. You can also do some early level 3 engages (be careful against counters) to damage one of the bot lane enemies back to either create pressure if they return or kill if they refuse to leave.
