Darkmaniak Wrote:I'm still debating whether I should get Leona or not, I've been reading about her on forums, also checking her abilities. So far she looks like a lame version of Amumu, with borrowed skills from other tanks, that were taken down a little. This is what I see:

Q-on hit stun. A high CD version of Udyr's bear, without speed bonus, although her E fixes that. The stun timer is really short, and with merc threads it becomes less than a second. I honestly think that this is a really weak cc, and I can think of 10 stuns better than her's (Udyr, Sion, Taric, Alistar, Annie, Irelia, Pantheon, Renekton, Veigar...)

W-A pretty lame shield, it has less defense than Galio's and Rammus's shields, and they both have better effects than the little extra damage she gets from it after 3 seconds, she can't even trigger it like Sion, and also her AP ratio is horrible on this skill. (Look at Sion, the AP ratio for the damage is 1.)

E-It's like Bandage toss with shorter range but slightly better utility. I haven't got much to say about this, haven't seen it used well, so I won't talk about it, but I think it's not that great.

R-It's like a weak version of Amumu's ult, the AP ratio is worse, it's not like you're building AP but it is worse, it might be ranged but you're supposed to be in the middle of the fight anyway. Also, the time of the stun is only 1.5 secs while Amumu's has a bigger range, a full stun range and it stuns for 2.5 seconds. The cooldown on Leona's is shorter but it's not like you'll use it twice in a teamfight.

Purplefire44 Wrote:But amumu ult isnt a stun, its a snare/disarm iirc.

Edit: Checked, I am correct.

Darkmaniak Wrote:They're different type of shields. Feint absorbs damage, like lux's barrier, or Lee Sin's. Leona's shield buffs defense, it can be compared to galio's or rammus. it also deals point blank AoE damage, like Sion's.




I honestly don't know the difference between Snare and Stun. I know that a Root (Lux, Morgana, swain) just keeps in you in your place and you can use skills/Auto attack. But with Amumu's ult they can't do anything.

Edit:

Had a nice experience with a Leona, so I'm not sure about her still, everything I said in my previous post was based of skill info and Riot forum threads, so I'm still debating if she's good or not.

Here's the replay, worth watching cause she did pretty good, she missed some ults but it didn't matter much. I also did a nice job as Udyr, carried the team, even if I made some mistakes.

Somewhere around 30:00, GP walks into the bush and finds the enemy team there, then shyt hits the fan.



What? o.O

Darkmaniak Wrote:Nice, you learn something new everyday. I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone use a spell on his ult, even after I've played amumu so much, probably over 50 games with him!

Eclipse just raises your Armor and MR for a duration.

IMO, very solid tank, though like any tanks I played before, gotta watch how much mana you use. Her shield makes her extremely tanky while its on.

Though her ultimate has a small radius, and is only good for CCing the enemy team (the 85% slow is insane, I must say), not for dropping damage.
