I can't quite tell how I feel about her yet. I've played two games with her so far; both custom, all basic bots aside from me, one win, one loss.
Shield of Daybreak is eh. For me, since I'm not really certain how to use it yet, it becomes a button mash that is on whenever I'm in combat and especially in the combo used when other champions are below half health.
She's great with the initiation on Zenith blade, but that tends to get her in to too much trouble as she's just not quite tanky enough (low health, easy to hit, low damage on her hits). I've also found that so far Zenith Blade's aiming is a little off... I wonder if that's a characteristic of skill shots themselves? I rarely play people with skill shots, but it seems that this is way off. Like I have the line directly over someone who's not moving and it still misses. Also, not a great clearer as far as waves go. Whereas Malphite (my favourite tank-esque champion) has Ground Slam and Amumu at least has his auras, the only clearing ability on Leona is her Eclipse after effect.
Eclipse is definitely nice to have, but again, doesn't have that wow factor I had hoped.
And her ultimate is .... weak if I'm being diplomatic, total shite if I'm not.
The passive, Sunlight, I don't know if it works or not. Allied bots are too stupid to hit people when they have that debuff.
Her use really comes in chasing/initiating with the Zenith Blade and then unleashing every other ability to get an opposing champion down about a quarter of their health, and then running away and leaving the carry to clean up.
She's fun to play, but I can definitely see how people are crying "underpowered".
Anyone else played her so far? Any thoughts? Any suggestions?
Also, I take back all my doubts about Valkyrie skin. Super cutie! ;)
