Love the videos and all the experimentation! My favorite thing to do in League is find weird picks. There's something unique about Leona's Q that I didn't notice you taking advantage of in this video. I didn't watch specifically for it for too long, so I apologize if you already know about this, but I figured it was worth mentioning just in case. If you aren't aware, this will take her to another level. Like a lot of auto-attack enhancing abilities, she gets the standard auto-attack reset as soon as she hits the Q button. But, here's the cool part, she also gets another auto-attack timer reset after the Q-empowered auto lands. So, if you auto-Q-auto (make sure you click on them again for that last auto to actually go faster), you can get 3 autos off insanely fast. For those early trades, that's a pretty huge difference. To be clear, this is not the same as a Nasus Q where you can auto-Q and get TWO autos off really fast. In that case, the 3rd auto would still have to wait a bit while on CD. In Leona's case, if you make sure you actually issue another attack command by right clicking after the 2nd (Q-empowered) auto, you can get a 3rd auto off just as fast as the 2nd auto. Again, you do have to right-click on them after the Q-empowered auto lands in order to quickly chain that 3rd auto in there. It won't happen automatically.
Love the videos!! Watch them every day! Could you make a countering video where you walk through what your thought process is for picking champions based on the enemy team? Like a coaching session on lane/team comps?
Theres basically a triangle, engage beats sustain, sustain beats poke, and poke beats engage. Assuming you're lower elo like most of us with questions like that it really just boils down to that. How do you counter a yuumi? You go in and burst. How do you counter tanky engage champs? Either get a pick or sit far back and chip their health. Stuff like that. Works in lane too
@@Bakuham ehh what youre saying i cant really agree with, you could argue yuumi is anti burst and fucks over anyone who has a one shot combo and then becomes useless
Bald AP Sion: (Tear) Liandrys, Cosmic Drive, Demonic Embrace, ShadowFlame, Seraphs with sorc shoes. Runes are either; Sanic build: Phase Rush, Nimbus, Celerity, Waterwalking And Presence of Mind, Legend Tenacity Or Lane Hell Comet, Manaflow, Transcendance, Scorch And Cheap Shot and Eyeball Collection You still split, but you max E, W, Q. Phase Rush can proc for free when you W pop into a Q and E. It is a free disengage. Sion gains HP for minion kills which means his AP increases with Demonic. W max second spikes the shield power much faster and is increased by AP. Near instant wave clear and tiny W and E Cooldown. Can bully very, very hard if ahead.
Unfortunately, supports don't make enough gold. The most savage thing a Leona support could do is rush Anathema's Chains and attach it to whomever is easier to hit with E, and if they hug tower put it on their jungler. P.S. Evenshroud is a good follow up item if your jungler is actually giving you ganks.
I recently came back to the game after quitting in 2015 . Leona was my old main . She is the most underrated champion ever . I never got to masters or any outrageous rank but god I use to carry games as the support back in the days . She is a absolute CC machine an a powerhouse early. I'm glad she hasn't been crazily reworked. Although I could imagine she's probably been nerfed over an over through out the years. She deserves so much more love
when i play leona, i do a brusier build runes: PTA ~ Presents of mind ~ tenacity ~ last stand ~ demolish ~ unflinshed, attackspeed double armor or both mr and armor items: dorans shield, tear (first back isa must) Tri force or bork as first or second, third titanic, and then finish fimble, if you got max stack finish it instead of titanic, rest i take dead mans or force of nature, but i choose frozen heart (if there are alot of auto attackers) i would like to see a video about that, how good you find that idea ^^
you'd be going overkill on CC. With all this CDR Leona already pretty much completely locks down another champion, so a slow isn't really useful, and while Glacial could have some value, you need grasp to be able to trade in lane, and the traits in that tree are generally really good for Leona.
The year is 2072 as SRO is being visited by his grandchildren "boom what up little Billy, did I ever tell you about the time I never missed a cannon minion?"
Solo lane Leona is so fucking funny. You can really go full tank, AD bruiser, AP bruiser, or full AP and still do really well because she just doesn't let her opponents move for like 7 seconds. Everfrost and Divine Sunderer or Triforce work great on her for the bruiser builds. Basically go HP hybrid items afterward or tank. Everfrost especially because it's just an extra CC in her kit for no reason (and her damage is really decent with it LOL)
Why is this Nasus so afraid to attack back... did he not run conq or grasp? Like I have never seen such a passive nasus before. I would have fought a Leo in a20 attack minion wave like that... lol
I've seen Leona win the nasus matchup with divine sunderer into full tank. Eventually nasus always the 1v1 though. Just takes a lot longer with sunderer.
Honestly you say perma stun Leona and you dint even use the best boots on her that also gets you a insta EQRQ combo with only one sec until EQ woupd be back up after the first rotation. Serieus man do this again and get the Ionis boots of Lucidity. You wont need mercs with it. If they got giga AP and/5CC hard champs you still dont need Mercs you just get a QSS into Silvermere Dawn. Nothing can basicly stop you from that point exsept long range true damage.

SRO: "You can't even think of a time.."
Literally Everyone: "I remember a time when you were using Cho'Gath R..."
;D
"i'll just stack up my R real quick on this cann-"
Only reason you didn’t miss the cannon was because I remembered to like the video.

1:35.. Two words Mike : Cho'Gath Ultimate. xD
I would add Anathaenas Chain as the next full item to further increase the cc-duration for chosen champion + good stats HP/AH :)
If we are going to bring supports to the top lane I want to see Braum top
I can't remember a single instance of Mike missing a cannon minion and especially no with chogath ult
Bald AP Sion:
(Tear) Liandrys, Cosmic Drive, Demonic Embrace, ShadowFlame, Seraphs with sorc shoes.
Runes are either;
Sanic build:
Phase Rush, Nimbus, Celerity, Waterwalking
And
Presence of Mind, Legend Tenacity
Or
Lane Hell
Comet, Manaflow, Transcendance, Scorch
And
Cheap Shot and Eyeball Collection
You still split, but you max E, W, Q. Phase Rush can proc for free when you W pop into a Q and E. It is a free disengage. Sion gains HP for minion kills which means his AP increases with Demonic. W max second spikes the shield power much faster and is increased by AP. Near instant wave clear and tiny W and E Cooldown. Can bully very, very hard if ahead.
1:35 I remember this one time you missed a cannon minion playing Cho'Gath
Just curious, would this build work for Support Leona as well? I feel like the support items are too gimmicky and are just all wards basically

I’ve experimented in the past with PTA bruiser Leona with sunderer/triforce to mixed success, might be worth checking out for another video!
SRO - Tries recording a video
SRO's Neighbor - "I feel a disturbance in the force."
Lawnmower diff HAHAHAHAHAH Love your vids man!

i would like to see a video about that, how good you find that idea ^^
I do the same build. Pta is so good on leo
15:40 wow that Cait juked tf our of you guys 😂😂
What about frozen gauntlet and this rune thats freezing ground for ultimate slow on leona and cc? Could be funny to make enemy angry
you'd be going overkill on CC. With all this CDR Leona already pretty much completely locks down another champion, so a slow isn't really useful, and while Glacial could have some value, you need grasp to be able to trade in lane, and the traits in that tree are generally really good for Leona.

Boom whaddup try the forbidden darius build where you do stride into rageblade and get passive up in 4 hits and get fill conq stack with stride active
love less conventional picks like this, great video
why max q over e second?
Solo lane Leona is so fucking funny. You can really go full tank, AD bruiser, AP bruiser, or full AP and still do really well because she just doesn't let her opponents move for like 7 seconds.

I waited all day for this. It was totally worth it
Since you do troll/new builds you might as well try the sunderer garen maxing q first
In ARAM Duskblade + Essence Reaver on Garen is hilarious. Q -> R -> walk away
Hahaha Pitbull skull shaver ad. hilarious.
I don't recall you ever missing a cannon minion.
SRO ending a video: GG well played, uhh, GG well played? Oh yeah, GG well played and of course, GG well played. GG well played btw.
GG, well played.
If you didn't say anything , I would've just thought the lawnmower was a Nasus soundbug
SRO: "when's the last time you saw me miss a cannon?"
Me: "probably yesterday"
Why is this Nasus so afraid to attack back... did he not run conq or grasp? Like I have never seen such a passive nasus before. I would have fought a Leo in a20 attack minion wave like that... lol
I've seen Leona win the nasus matchup with divine sunderer into full tank. Eventually nasus always the 1v1 though. Just takes a lot longer with sunderer.
Surprised you got no skin for her as much as you play the game Croc man
Not seen Mike miss a cannon since 1998
i like buying a sheen early for early dueling damage
The circle of Mike. Last vid? Shit on everyone as Nasus. This vid? Shit on Nasus...:)
What i didnt knew Leona can do that much dmg, second damage in team? Never seen that before and i play league for long time lol
Says more about the team than about Leona top ;)
Se you get your first canon mininon for the game and i hurry up to like the video so you don't miss an other one
This man out here literally stealing my build
"Did Mike get the first cannon?"
Ofcourse he gets it, the mad man is on a rampage!
win streak: 4
Leona in the hands of the croc. Me likey.
Boom what up! Just leaving a comment only here ✌🏽
The auto captions crack me up every time

BOOM! What up? Comment for the algorithm here. Back with some more comment section act-chi-on.

You should make a video based on everything I want and ignore your 500k subs as well as the youtube stats please
Commenting so Mike can get more cannon minions
Solo lawnmower only is back!
Leona ♥
"I don't win in lane but I'm good in team fights"
Soooooo you're a support 😂
Leona is fun if you want to deal ZERO damage.
personally, for me it's fun to stick on enemy carry and not let him go
NEW!!!! XD LMAO
Boom what up solo whole lot of fucking cc only here to stun some kids for nine days
Boom
god damn, close to first comment
Al pika
