Leona Matchups Overview
Leona General information
Leona tips and tricks
You can use your AA Q AA combo to quickly destroy wards to deny vision.
Try to keep the minion wave even or closer to your side of the map as it will be very hard for you to engage in the early game if your lane is constantly pushing.
If you’re unable to get kills in the bottom lane post 6, don’t be afraid to roam and help other lanes. As your Ultimate R is a very good tool that can help you snowball, whenever it’s up, try to roam and help your mid lane.
