I'd say its her purpose as a champion that's keeping her out of pro-scene. Most supports being picked currently by pros are champions who can be effective while staying near the back line for most of a fight (Braum, Thresh, sometimes Janna) and have very strong tools for protecting allies or picking off enemies. Shen and Alistar are a little outside this, but they both have very unique ultimates which offer a lot of game changing play.

Leona's kit is just too offensive for the current pro meta.
