User blog comment:ClariS/My Champion Changes: Leona/@comment-41.132.77.239-20120414104740/@comment-4881935-20120414140352

I fixed it the wide variety of bonus armor and magic resist. It now gains a base amount and increase by 10% for each enemy hit. That way, even if you don't hit anyone, u still gain a good amount of defense, but it gets better the more thick you are in battles.

I wasn't actually thinking of solo top when I made these changes. I was in fact thinking of jungling and kill lane bot. About a heal...., I wasn't actually creating this champion based on Leona, but on a random champion that I wanted, but after seeing how close their kit were, I decided to change Leona instead.
