Tips To Deal With Leona Counter 8.19

1) When Leona is about to engage, she will activate her W/Eclipse as it provides her with Magic Resistance and Armor giving her damage reduction while going in. So if you see Leona’s Shield glow suddenly and she starts coming towards you, expect an engage from her and her team so be prepared to back off or flash out since her jungler might be nearby as well.

2) If Leona misses her E/Zenith Blade then start focusing on her since now she has no potential of stunning you from a distance and has to get close since her E/Zenith Blade is her only gap closer which lets you kite her in lane and poke her if she gets too close while her E/Zenith Blade is on cooldown.

3) Leona’s ultimate Solar Flare calls down a beam of solar energy at a targeted area stunning those at the center and slowing those at the edges after a very short delay. So with good awareness and reaction time, it can be easily dodged out from stunning you.

4) Watch out for level advantages since Leona and her ADC can engage immediately at level 2 and level 6 if they get it first and will not hesitate in trying to get a kill or two. So try to maintain a distance when this happens. In botlane, after a wave and 3 minions, the 2 laners gain level 2, so keep this in mind and play accordingly and respect them by maintaining distance if they are going to achieve level 2 before you.
