What kind of build should I do on Leona with a Kog/Leona lane when I got Heart of Gold and Philosopher's stone ?

I went Trinity -> Zeke last time and it went pretty well, but should I really go for trinity first

If you don't have a jungler like Alistar or Skarner who usually rush Shurelias you should build one asap as Leona after your second gp5. The MS boost from Shurelias and your ult will easily catch people off guard and let your team finish them. If you finish it midgame where fights are centered around Dragon pit you should be really fine.

I guess at the higher levels you will stop rushing Trinity because people will frown upon you, since they do not expect you to go for damage. Try out some more Aura items like Aegis, Randuins, Iron Solari etc.., and if you are having success with it just stick with it, but if you see your mates still fail after all your passive aid just go for whatever the fuck you want.
Kanye West
Leona's job isn't to do damage, and even with a trinity you're not going to do that much more damage because your kit and stats weren't meant for it.
Shellghost
Just concentrate on cooldown reduction, mana and defense. Frozen heart being a perfect example.

Leona supports by locking an enemy in place for approximately 5 years.
Shiirn
frozen heart is pretty much the perfect item

anyone that has mana can build it and benefit in major ways
Vulf
Just don't build frozen heart when someone else on your team has one/is building one since the aura doesn't stack. Basically if there is a Warwick or a Ryze on your team don't bother building it. A lot of bruisers get this item actually so you might want to ask your team if they plan on building it.

There has been a few games i've played where my team or the enemy team had multiple FH's. Now if a couple of those FH's where randuins during team fights things might have ended better for us/them.
Shellghost
But a frozen heart isn't just the anti-Tryn aura. It's the second highest PhysDef item with cooldown reduction and decent mana. Just because one person has one doesn't mean that no one else is allowed to have one.

The aura's range also isn't that great iirc meaning it will only effect the enemies within the small range of the holder, not sure about that one though.
Vulf
It's 1000 which is okay for stuff that is always in the middle of things. My point is that a randuins + a frozen heart is going to be much more beneficial and useful in a team fight as compared to double frozen heart. If you have enough gold left over after randuins+shurelyia's then by all means grab one if you want to help yourself over your team opposed to maybe picking up another aura item.

I'm not saying FH is bad on leona. Depending on who is on my team (initiator, Teams needs a tank) i'd probably build it regardless since the stats are so good for her.
silmarilen
having 2 frozen hearts on a team isnt bad, but thats if both of them are on a tank/bruiser (or ryze), if someone has one already and you are a support there are better options.
Shiirn
Glacial Shroud is already one of the most amazing buys in the game - for 425g, you get 225 mana (note that 200 is what a 400g blue crystal gives you) meaning you're already paying under 20g for 15% CDR. This is before frozen heart, which is 630 for another 5% CDR, 75 mana, and 19 armor (Mana would cost ~150g, the armor costs ~300g, CDR is as always a hard cost to codify, but it makes it the second highest CDR item in the game along with morello's), before taking into account the 1000 range -20% dps-from-ad-carries aura.

Compare thornmail, which is 2000g for 100 armor and a 30% reflect passive (the armor itself would cost ~1500g, you're paying 500g for a passive, making it the most expensive passive in the game, discounting tiamat-minus-the-regen-stats) and is absurdly situational (Does the ad carry attack you? Is nobody else attacking you so the reflect doesn't get dispersed among their team? Am I able to force them to attack me despite my armor?) as well as Last Whisper cutting the armor down to 60ish, while FH still remains just as powerful with the aura.


t;dr frozen heart is the most cost-efficient physical defense item in the game if you have mana and don't hold a heart of gold for 30 minutes


i can go into a rant of frozen heart vs randuin's but i bet that'd bore people even more
neonat
I find both frozen heart and randuin useful. I used to get randuin as quick as possible, but nowadays when I play tank I get frozen heart first and there isn't any time to get omen. If 2 people have randuin's omen, is that of any use, or is one person wasting a slot having that equipment?
Vulf
It's an active so it will never be a waste. Not only can randuins active be used offensively it can be used defensively as well (Longer duration AS/MS slows during team fights, really good MS slow for an escape).

Randuins + FH do stack with each other "Multiplicatively" which is why that combo is ridiculous late game.
JesusYamato
Add to that a malphite E and you reduce jax/vayne's aspd to nearly 0.4
silmarilen
nasus W anybody?
Shiirn
wither becomes, for all intents and purposes, a 5 second slow that becomes a snare the last full second.


Randuin's is a bit strange.

The passive reduces attack speed and movement speed, but by bonus amounts - if you're a vayne and have 70% additional attack speed (greaves + PD) then hitting someone with a randuin will reduce your bonus attack speed by 35% - giving you essentially 35% bonus

Compared to the active, which calculates the orignal 100% speed, meaning 170% * 0.65 = 110.5%, compared to 135% from passive

They don't stack, i've found.

FH + randuin active = X attack speed * 0.8 * 0.65 = 0.52X

Halving dps. Yay!


It's more useful for a pure tank, but it has less utility for the person that has it - practically no CDR means that it doesn't help peel as well, less mana means you can't peel as much.
silmarilen
in a teamfight you're supposed to wither their AD carry.

Poppy apparently has a meh early game (dunno, haven't played her in a looooooong time) so all you have to do is farm and not feed. Then late game you god mode everyone on the enemy team... at the same time

Having a 32 (or a full 40) armor page is fun overall. Works neat on Irelia against retarded physical harras lanes combined with a babysitting jungler.

I sometimes also do that for giggles on J4 against Riven or Renekton starting E and cloth 5. People just run into your nearly 80 armor lvl 1 and are all like "Nothing to do here".

tyrael6192
Cait is much easier in lane because of her stupid range and she can trap brush etc, but late game vayne overpowers her hard because of her stupid steroid and her stupid true damage % of max health. So if u can hang in there as vayne and just farm (as with pretty much any ad carry) then she is the optimal choice for later

If I get to play top or mid I will crush any Vayne by just counterpicking her with picks that also do great in lane. (Olaf, Malph, Lee, Kennen, Ahri, Kass). You need some sick positioning to not get raped by me in teamfights. And her laning phase is fuckin horrible, she only wins vs Graves.

Morde will last-hit or throw his ghost into an insta-gib-in-progress. A morde that relies on his ult tick (plus maybe ignite) isn't in a teamfight, he's in lane. Buying a QSS never makes a champion useless or even particularly weaker, it's a retard-magnet that should be counterplayed by someone who knows how to do so. It's a hundred times more effective as a deterrent due to people like you than what its actual purpose is.
Colin Hou
when it comes to laning, as morde pushes too fast, he would be the first target of junglers, that's not a good idea for a champion with no escape skill.

btw QSS can also disable ignite. all the damage is about 20% percent of target health (not including the magic resist

morde is still a strong champion, but that's when it comes middle-solo farming and group fight.

ignite -> deathfire -> E -> R boom!! (when mistake happened on oppo-team ad carrier, people with brains won't get too close to you when your E is ready even they've got a QSS

uhhhh... it doesn't actually look like she does too much damage and she's a quirky champ, so it might take a while for people to get used to her. My first thought was zyra = plant heimer
Shiirn
Zyra is what I like to call a "Burst DPS" champion - she has high dps for a few short seconds. She does very well against assassin comps (time spent killing her plants is time wasted, and leaving the plants alive gives her great DPS) but very poorly against aoe comps (plants die anyway).

Her passive seems completely stupid and out of place, but oh well.

She can waveclear very well with a bit of AP, and her ganks are nice, so she'll see some good play in solo queue once people figure her out. Won't be that good in tourney 5s though, too squishy and too easy to single out.

It's funny because that's why they nerfed Ahri. Tanky but did a shitload of damage

They need to be consistent..
Shiirn
Ahri's problem wasn't that she hit for a shitload of damage, it's that her "skillshots" pretty much always landed if you could get a charm, as well as the "orb clipping" that you can do if you have low ping (Hit someone at the very very edge of the Q range, it hits them for the magic and true damage at the same time, derp)

Low cooldowns meant that her base damages allow pretty high DPS, and her scaling is rather bad so it's best to go tanky just to spam QW some more.

I'd be far more scared of a roa+Athene's ahri than a deathcap dfg ahri.

Her burst isn't the problem, it's the consistent DPS of her W and clipping of her Q.
