Why it works

  1. Leona stuns. Her Q stuns with the next attack, her E briefly immobilizes and her R stuns the center and slows the outer ring.
  2. Sunlight. Leona's passive marks the target and lets allies deal extra damage when they hit it.
  3. Miss Fortune punishes. Her E slows an area and her R fires a cone of bullets that can crit.
  4. Two targets. Her Q and her passive damage two targets in a row, useful against grouped enemies.

Weak points: Long-range poke and supports who avoid the engage; it depends on coordination between both players. To verify
