"...strictly worse versions of leona" might I point out to you that leona has not a single form of AoE pre-6 where as both voli and naut sport an aoe slow while naut holds the capacity to root multiple targets. On top of that both naut and voli have a tool for displacement, granting them the possibility to pull/fling a target under a turret.

Furthermore both those champions are more tanky, and less prone to ovrextending. Where as a wrongly placed lance or just bad coordination can leave a leona to fend for herself 1vs2.

Saying that these champions would be worse for the team is a little shorsighted as in some situations these champs can actually perform better then dedicated support champions. I,d much rather have a naut/ voli against an ez, since Í've seen to many good ezreals time their shifts so they DO jump and tske leona with them, free kill.
