THE MOST COMMON LEONA MISTAKES (AND HOW TO FIX THEM) | Coaching from the Rank 1 Leona NA

hey guys what is up aoki here bringing you some leona coaching today we are coaching a player by the name of abba they are a silver level uh leona player that has previously peaked in gold but not only after this coaching session are we going to get you back to your peak of gold but we are going to go so far beyond that so uh right off the bat i want i i took i took a look at your opg and it looks like you are aware of the glacial build on leona which is really good because swapping between the glacial and the aftershock is um depending on match up is it's pretty solid i think either one could slot into this matchup against ezreal and maokai um honestly though the glacial works really really well against squishy champions with no mobility and when you're thinking about which runes uh to take especially keystone you're not thinking about just the adc right yes ezreal's squishy but he's not immobile guess who is on their team maokai in fact he took comet so he's really doubling down on the squishy aspect of him the only survivability that he has is that he gets a little bit of life back with his passive but if you engage onto alistar or maokai with your glacial proc there is just absolutely no way that it gets out so i probably would have gone glacial into this matchup but aftershock is totally fine i don't want you to think that that's bad but um before we get into the match let me introduce myself i got a little ahead of myself guys uh my name is aoki which you probably know but if this is your first time on the channel for some reason uh i am a multi-season high elo talent i've won twitch rivals three times have hundreds thousands of games of leona rank one leona world so i think i'm pretty qualified to do some leona coaching like this and uh hopefully you guys enjoy and learn a whole lot um so in my coaching sessions i like to talk about what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong what you're doing right you're not one of those people that's sitting in nexus or in fountain until a minute into the game you are out there being proactive because the game starts at zero seconds right so i love to see this pro activity you come down here and get a really well placed ward for the tribush but what you're not doing well is you're just sitting here what are you doing here you need to be over here covering your other entrance because in solo queue you want to it's an unfortunate fact that especially support you're going to be reliant on your team but your team's not watching this entrance so better pathing from level one as you go here drop the ward and try bush and then immediately come back here and if you're fast about it no team is going to be able to invade and get here because you always need to be thinking about the worst case scenario right worst case scenario is the entire team is invading and because you've only covered one entrance your team gets invaded you get you know your buff stolen your jungler killed all that stuff now does this happen in this game i have no idea probably not but always cover both entrances you can do it by yourself it looks the same way on the other team or on the other side of the map so you go here path here word here and then double back around and sit somewhere around here and that way you're covering both entrances so you as support can cover both entrances um and then if and then on top of that if you have both entrances covered like someone's either warding here or sitting here what you can do is reset and go back and get your red trinket which is super super nice coming into this lane as leona because it helps you keep bush control which is super important we'll talk about that but uh yeah that's the first big no-no i've seen you do is you're only covering one entrance so worst-case scenario you guys get invaded and you die looks like your jungler's opting to pass top to bottom so you're starting on the blue buff you're saying you're telling your adc to wake up she needs to all right we've got bush control now i'm gonna be harping on you a lot about bush control because this matchup is very very bush control centric obviously you know the dynamics going to change whether it's level one two three four five and six but level one maokai is either going to start his w or he's going to start his e and we're going to learn about which one he starts really fast um and it's going to be basically a power struggle between maokai controlling the bushes and not allowing you to control them or you sitting in them and being a constant threat to jump onto the maokai so the fact that he hasn't already thrown a comment means he probably started w i'm gonna i'm gonna cheat a little bit and then look yeah he did he did start w did start w level one but even if he has okay this is this is perfect this is absolutely perfect and this is the importance of controlling bushes on leona he's walking up and using his relic shield so what you're going to do here is you're going to auto cue auto him okay so very first this is ideal for leona so i want you to be able to it's good that you punished him for doing that but you could have done it way harsher and especially level one you're like the strongest champion in the game at level one and two as leona so you definitely need to set the pace of the lane and maximize your early trades so auto q auto your q is an auto reset and then honestly worst case scenario he has w and goes on you okay you win that so you want to stay on top of them extend this trade out level one much further than you did you played way too safe here for a maokai level one with no aftershock because remember he he has comet man he he's squishy you can kill him honestly you can at least blow his flash so we'll watch that one more time maokai walks up and because you have great placement in the bush which is exactly where you should be you get to jump on him auto cue auto him here and then honestly path forward stay on top of him right get the aftershock damage early game is like no joke it's it's not insignificant so definitely could have extended that trade much longer and then imagine if you did imagine if you stayed on top of him he's panicking maybe ezreal panic flashes you drop your ignite and then your q cooldown is only five seconds so like if you follow him up here you have another stun by the time you're here but all right level one went okay let's see how we let's see how we do because you've already you've already showed yourself that you win level one right so i need to see you being way more aggressive right you've got two options here you can kill these two minions hit level two and kill them or you can sit in this bush and zone them from hitting bubble two but you're not doing either you hit level two as soon as this minion dies right so your two options should be to start the fight on maokai because you know you win level two right leone and to maokai caitlyn into ezreal you win in every facet so your options are to start the fight right here right now or to go over here use relic shield get your level 2 and go on to the maokai this is perfect this is absolutely perfect maokai started the fight maokai started the fight so stay on him stay on him bro you are leota why are you backing out you are the strongest champion in the game level two so let's watch that again because the early levels on the owner are super super important so first of all you need the game knowledge to know that on the second wave you kill the melees and you're gonna get level two off of this minion so be ready for that it's a very important part of laning but this is literally the most perfect scenario i can even imagine maokai engages on to you exactly where you want to be look how much damage you did to him when you were afraid imagine if you had committed to that you literally just killed that guy alright so now we're level two now we're going to be looking for more engages um this is a little bit of a nitpick and i honestly i i always struggle with taking this into coaching sessions because skins are cool i get that i know that but most leona skins are pretty clunky um she has a surprising amount of animation cancels things like what we talked about earlier auto q auto e flash you know e auto q stuff like that uh they have somewhat precise timings and these big flashy you know high production value skins make it a little a little harder to land things i found you know her e just feels like a little sloppy on this skin i find myself missing these a lot more when i use these skins but you know use it if you want to it's it you've got so many more things to worry about all right so once again your job as leona is to control the bush and you do that by having a sweeper level one which we don't and also auto cue autoing wards so your q is up when this ezreal places this ward why are you not auto queue autoing it you know how you remember how much pressure you were able to exert when you controlled this bush you exert even more pressure when you control this one right so just auto cue out of this and you get a little bit extra gold all right so starting now you need to be thinking about where the enemy jungler is we are not certain which buff he start at what their blue is missing but just basically starting at like 245 all the way to like 345 is what is called a jungle timer it's a massive jungle timer um for an action to take place and you know most of those actions are either a gank on top lane or a gank on bot lane and that just has to do with like the timing of how most champions are able to clear jungle gap jungle camps so teemo um not super familiar with how teemo paths but we can assume that he went uh started his red and path down basically what i'm trying to tell you is that you should be having your eyes wide open for jungle activity around right now you need to be watching the enemy bot laners and thinking to yourself hmm are they acting the same way they were a minute ago are they acting different and if so why could be that the jungle is near could be that they're trying to get priority in lane could be that they're trying to bait you in to fight into a fight knowing that their jungler is near or it could be you know a moon was getting invaded or it could be just this is a massive massive timer and there's a lot of options for a jungler like teemo to take so just be careful about committing into fights right now like this seems like a pretty good trade but worst case scenario teemo could be literally right here right and then you probably die so just be aware of that timer and just be uh understand that your role as a support is to always match the actions of the jungler your jungler and the enemy jungler it's it's a big part of your role um is to you okay what did i say what did i say and what are we doing we're not responding at all we're not responding at all this is this should be something that teemo should absolutely lose the game over a risky invade like this like yes okay he cheeses the red maybe he even still kills amumu but your mid needs to be rotating with this and you absolutely need to be rotating to this but we're not seeing any response and that's kind of why i brought it up because as a champion like leona every every action that you take early game is very very uh important because you're an early game champion so be ready to respond to invades be ready sometimes it's going to be your jungler looking for an invade on their on their buff and what you do is you take actions to help supplement that as the support you know push your lane walk up sweep it out and then kill the jungler with your jungler unfortunately your your jungler was only a receiving end of this and you just weren't in a position to respond or didn't see it or something i do like this uh lane aggression though i do like this you're using up a lot of your health bar which i love to see you're not sitting back with the full hp bar and not contributing anything but i do like that now what i want to see from your first reset is you buy boots and you walk mid buy boots walk mid like this right okay no we bought ruby crystal about ruby crystal and path straight to bot so the importance of pathing mid is that one it places you in a better area to drop or sweep out a ward you can pop this you can maybe sweep out vision on the bot side of the river you can gank mid your options are limitless whereas if you walk straight to bot your options are limited extremely oh look at this you could have been there for this counter gank on this exact timer if you had walked mid so get into the habit it's not always going to turn into something good but worst case scenario you pass through mid and you lose like an extra six or six or seven seconds walking back through the river to bot right best case scenario you're here for a counter gank you sweep out some vision you're useful to the team right and to be honest caitlyn doesn't even need you bot right now does she oh she she's got the wave in all right great pick good stuff like i said i i always want to point out what you're doing right so you can continue doing that and stop doing the bad things this is great this is an excellent of why controlling bushes in this matchup is so important because eventually maokai is going to get low curious he's a little curious cat right beautiful yeah good stuff man go on teemo here yo you you just go on teemo there insta instantly instantly instantly this is a zero yeah this is an instant kill for on onto teemo you could even see it even he was like oh man maybe i should not be here but uh yeah it is good that you're placing yourself between your adc and the jungle but without his support here you guys win that 2v 2v2 so hard either ezreal has a tear he has nothing all right so we're going to be what do we do what are we doing here hey i mean honestly i would probably just be pressing w or or just face taking that just taking that just because worst case scenario caitlyn walks up and gets chunked by it your mumu tries to gank through this and gets hit by it uh the leona maokai matchup is pretty easy for you because it feels like maokai's only option in this matchup in bot lane is to try to poke people out and then he can't poke you out i mean you got biscuits you're leona you've got reduced flat damage on your w so his e does like nothing he'll just run himself out of mana if he just keeps doing that oh okay so luckily it expired right before your jungler came through but again that could have if you didn't tank that and it didn't expire that would have given away the the whole gank right and then teemo knows that your jungler's in the bot side he can do whatever he wants top side it it'd be bad but it looks like this is going to be your jungler gank so what you need to do is it's a little bit of like an unspoken exchange right when a jungler ganks because you guys both have fantastic engage amu and leona caitlyn not so much but she's got decent follow-up it's a little bit of an unspoken exchange because the moon was thinking okay leona needs to start this right and sometimes the support will be thinking okay do i wait for the jungler and then you just sit there waiting wasting a bunch of seconds looks like you're not wasting it so this is good i like to see this all right this should this should be free free gank now let's get into the nitty gritty of this i love the fact that you took the initiative you didn't make it super obvious they were getting a gank um and you flash eid you should never flash e on leona never ever see that flash every player and their grandmother will be able to react to that but you know what they literally physically can't react to is an e flash which is you're canceling the e or the e animation into the flash and it basically makes it so it's it's not reactable at all um you can hit ezreal with it you can hit tristana's with it but the e flash luckily you know you still land it it just comes out a little bit slower and it's onto a maokai who doesn't have a flash but if if maokai had a flash honestly this whole gank might not work because you chose to flash e instead of e flash so go into the practice tool practice e flash it'll look it'll look a little weird because she will begin her xenoblade animation and then you flash forward and it moves the zenith blade forward with you and there's there's very little counter play to it but like let's say maokai has flashier there's a very big chance that he just flashes out of this right and it doesn't land and then the whole gank is is bunk so i know it feels like i'm nitpicking right now but there is a big difference between flash e and e flash and there's no reason to ever flashy all right so it looks like we're you know we're we're trying to get out of lane here kind of wasting our time very nice actual wow this actually works well the blind e okay bro the leona instincts on point also good to see that you're taking hex flash um that is a really really good tool for leona all right once again like i talked about earlier your role as the support what you're doing on the map is always a mirror of what the jungler's doing it's always depend on where their jungler is and where your jungler is and it looks like your jungler is wanting to do the dragon so let's see what we need to do to be conducive to that okay so unfortunately we missed our e here not much we can contribute since we can't get in they give you another timer for it since uh you know the cooldown does eventually come back okay so honestly i would probably just wait for a muumuu to throw a cue on the steemo you're not in a big hurry and teemo has a movement steroid his w makes him faster and your e just comes out so slow especially on that skin uh so i would probably just be waiting for a mumu to stun him with a point blank q and then e on top of that right see if you had waited for your e this this is free then right and then this whole play never even happens because you guys just beat timo to death because once you're on top of him he's dead right so always be thinking about you know same way as like when we're back to the conversation of what was going on during the gank amumu's thinking oh i'm gonna play off of leona always be thinking about like how how the um sequence of events should go and then that one it's definitely just a amumu goes first wait for his and then there's pretty much no chance of failure right all right we're taking a reset once again we're passing straight to bot even though there's a lot of action going on mid there's a lot of vision to be controlling in the in the uh the river caitlyn doesn't even need you this is the worst habit i've seen you make okay this is absolutely the worst habit i've seen you make stop passing the bot you are wasting your time amumu does not need you to leash krugs amumu needs you in the river doing support things okay now you've dedicated your top laner to coming down you have to get the dragon here if you don't get the dragon it is really really bad okay hex flash over this wall hex hash over this wall oh like honestly the e was cool but what if you miss there's always a chance you know you always want to minimize the the chances of you missing right and if you just hex flash over you just hit him with the q so good looks you know good ambush but definitely since you are on a timer you dedicated your top laner to come down here there's no way you lose this fight right there's just no way don't be running do not be do not be backing up you are front line bro you have your front line with a full hp bar i do not ever want to see you backing up like this again you need to be here not here front line for your team create space right lock them down get in there get dirty baby so i'm i'm seeing slight hesitations from you you know you you take like a third of your health bar and you start getting a little spooked but other than that i you know i'm see i'm seeing some good stuff there you go okay see how much easier that was to play off of gnar stun boom no chance for it to miss and then i also like to see you understanding that it is not your job to stay on this malzahar you path forward you continue frontlining good stuff good stuff now you see you backed up though you go from doing really really good micro level stuff to doing really really newbie stuff this was great this was great you stay on that ezreal you keep him out of the fight he cannot enter this fight anymore because you're in his face you've got your w proc got your aftershock proc it's not your job to kill this guy right don't come back for him assume your team can kill this guy see imagine if you're like still on top of this ezreal at all so understanding it's like an ebb and flow thing right sometimes you have to back up but you're backing out at the wrong times of the fight and if you if you had stayed on top of this ezreal you wouldn't have had to use your ultimate with no uh leading cc you wouldn't have missed it that's called raw alting by the way it's not a very good habit raw alting should only be like a last resort if you absolutely cannot engage with like q or eq or get them locked down or whatever just it's kind of hard it's kind of hard it's a hard uh ulti to land this is fine to fish for by the way it's totally fine pushing the wave and then we go to dragon again we just continue that song and dance same thing same thing now the number one thing you can do to um help your team before a dragon fight is one plopping a control ward here i don't think i've seen you purchase a single control ward have you is this yours i don't think i've seen i don't think i've seen you purchase a single control word so one that's the easiest way to exert pressure on a map is for both pits just dropping a control word right here right in front of the dragon controls this entire pit controls all of here and then eventually they have to come check it right because they won't have vision of it and they have to eventually be like hmm we don't know if they're on dragon i guess let's go check it and then you bash their teeth in with your shield baby but uh so that's number one thing you can do to help your team do dragon or control the objective number two is pushing in this wave so luckily you guys got a kill you guys got a kill so this should be free excellent excellent also you understand that it's not your job to be dpsing this okay maybe you don't understand that all right so your job is to be preventing the chance that teemo steals it and you don't do that right here you do that over here you play the bush i i thought i saw some good action coming over here you know stand here stand here guard one of the exits right your job is not to dps this dragon caitlyn and amumu i promise you your little dinky 30 damage auto attacks did not help that at all now imagine worst case scenario teemo comes out of the fog of war because you're not standing there looking for him steals it at the last second scurries away while laughing all right so that's your job understand your job your role of of securing the dragon it's usually not the dps sometimes it is there it absolutely was not okay to see teamwork you've taken a reset and please don't walk back to but please don't walk back to bot walking back to bop bro bro imagine if you were here imagine if you're here instead of here you turn this whole thing you kill the mid laner right you're you're limiting your options by by pathing bot every single time and then once again caitlyn didn't even need you bot you know who did need you kaiser all right so kaiser needs you to do something called shadowing here where you basically just sit around and make sure she doesn't die while she's getting her wave in because look at her health bar she wants to go back she probably has quite a bit of gold too she does not want to stay in lane with this with with her hp like this right so what you need to be doing is walking up using your health bar even if you take a little bit of damage from malzahar push these waves push these waves be your bodyguard bro shadow here she does not want to be in this way bro she wants out man help her out all right so that's what you should have been doing mid let's see what we do instead we don't you no one needs you over here you need to be over here path path forward be the front line bro all right okay so let me wrap my head around this we've got a squishy free maokai right here that can't even attack you without taking turret damage and instead we go for a risky play of raw ulting a teemo that is so far away from your adc that in order to even touch him she would need to like walk forward here putting herself in the danger go for this target this is the free one right you always got to be thinking about like okay yeah you can almost land alt on teemo but your alt's not gonna one shot him you still need your damage to damage him right she can't damage this guy she can damage this guy though imagine if you use your e auto q auto ultimate on maokai kate's setting traps down that's a kill from from what i can see in this fight you guys aren't gonna get anything now maybe the team misplays it and you do get a kill or two but this this is not he's right in front of you bro yeah now now we're now we're going two deeps see she can't follow up here bro she cannot follow up now i'm not saying that you do this but as you know as one of the most common things i get in my stream is i get questions like aoki i play leona and i go and i i engage and my team doesn't follow up what gives man you're probably not making engages they can actually follow up on right this was not an engage caitlyn could ever do anything with she she did as much as she could all right so this is good we're taking advantage of the fact that they hardened out no no no no no no no no we we stay on ezreal there we stay on ezreal there because look ezreal is now unchecked dpsing this malc yo this maokai is dead no matter what you stay on you stay on the ezreal there so it's gonna take some learning it's gonna take some game but sometimes you go deep to zone out and sometimes you take the freebie and the previous scenario maokai was the freebie right you don't want to go deep it's so risky but there's it's not like ezra is going to solo you in fact at this stage of the game you probably solo ezreal but most importantly you keep him from dpsing you have to trust that amumu and caitlyn can take this character they don't need you anymore right but by not standing in front of ezreal you give him like a line of sight to dps and contribute to the fight so definitely definitely you're a very sticky champion you absolutely stay on ezreal there maybe you guys still get them yep you do nice yup you do nice nice nice nice bye bye all right shove this wave reset good stuff all right so we went merc treads and even trialled um leona's itemization is a little a little stagnant it's a little stale it's not really something that a lot of players mess up even trout and lock it are both totally fine um i probably would have gone for a even trout's totally fine merge treads are totally fine in fact merchants are very good this game even trout lock it it's not gonna make the biggest world of difference uh there are certain comps like anti-dive like if they have a lot of dive on their team you probably and you're going to be playing a little bit of appeal uh you probably go lock it but a game like this where they have enough targets for you to safely and like reliably dive against you probably even trout is probably a a good player because you got to think about when you go lock it um you are done and you're playing a like dive primarily you're you're diving with the move and stuff like that you're probably not even going to be able to get lock it off on your carries so the value of the item is greatly reduced so we went even shroud good item you've got good itemization so far i don't i don't know if it will stay that way but so far you've got good itemization other than not rushing boots definitely want to rush boots okay so we need to not be less than half health when the dragon spawns so the 40 seconds leading up to a dragon right about now when you check your timer it's gonna be like 40 seconds still dragon spawn yeah you don't don't want to be doing this um unless that's just like a guaranteed kill and then you know the trade of your half your health bar for their adc's is good but now now look at this we're pretty much gonna have to be off of the map when the dragon spawns you've totally ruined the the lead up to the dragon we have no vision control on it we have no health bar we can't face check anymore so losing this dragon was um pretty pretty much solely your fault i would say not solely your fault but there was a lot there's a lot that you did wrong okay just showing off the hex flash all right um yeah it's it's deeps it's it's really deep to try to do this you also really want to break this habit of using your ultimate as your primary engage that again that's called raw alting and it just very rarely works you actually landed it perfectly there but you shouldn't really be looking for that engage at all you already got the objective so now what you want to do is you want to take your top your bot laners and swap them into the top lane you want to go 2v1 this gangplank um you just don't want to be bought essentially so it looks like we are playing in an elo where we understand that and as or at least we're gonna go mid again ideally you guys are top right now and kaiser swaps down into the bot lane especially because i don't think you'll be able to dive in malzahar who's just going to wqe constantly and just like not give you a wave to dive with whereas you i actually think you probably can dive mid game gp but we're kind of just floundering around this mid game section they've got the rift road going top looks like it didn't crack a turret okay so notice once again that you're not chaining your cc correctly if you're chaining your cc correctly you should never miss the actual stun portion of your ultimate whereas like look at this you let the stun expire or casting your ultimate so he has time to move out of it so that stun doesn't land um there there's a more advanced way to get a guaranteed uh ultimate stun oh nice very nice uh and that's chaining your e into your r it's called the er combo you kind of just like slide your fingers across the keys cast them both at once um because leona's casting animations are kind of fluid in that like you can you can cast for instance while you're on your way from your e you can pop your w you can pop your q i mean um you can cast your e and then while you're on your way in transit you can cast your r so that point five seconds of rooting will keep them in place while the r comes down and stuns them and then of course after that stun runs out you've got another stun ready with your cue but uh i'm i'm not even seeing the most basic combos being strung together the basic combo of course is just an e you you're on top of them q and then you cast the r while you are while they're stunned from the cube so i i definitely think you would benefit a lot from going into practice tool and just practice leona combos um it doesn't even look like your decision making or macro are some of the biggest offenders i'm seeing here you're you're you're failing to string together like the most simplest of combos and i'm not saying this to hurt your feelings or anything it's just that like i don't think you're a bad player i think you could be so much better if you just know not to open with alti if you just wait for uh someone to cc them and you know reduce the risk of you missing your e if you just chain your eqr better uh so many of these scenarios are so close to be being like really good clean and we're just failing mechanically so go into go into practice tool string together your uh you know put down a target dummy see that was good that was good where's this been yeah see there there there's no downtime when it's done there uh but yeah go into a practice tool spawn a target dummy and then just make sure when you're doing eqr there is no time where there's like the word stunned over his head does not appear because if there's even a millisecond it can make a big difference and as you get higher into elo it will make a big difference right you know ezra will be smashing his flash key and if you don't if you don't string the the qr together he flashes into his team and you miss i can't play calton all right so we are going frozen heart next uh definitely would not be going that uh like i talked about earlier leona itemization is it's pretty it's pretty easy um you go your mythic you go your tier two boots and then you either go knights foul or zekes they're not the most exciting items but um they're just kind of on paper the most efficient i like to see you blocking this for your adc though that's good under yup yup this is a squishy champion and you're treating him as such good stuff okay we're over extending hardcore here looks like we blow up the teemo though it's nice nice all right we'll walk in mid now i still have not been seeing a whole lot of control ward purchases out of you and remember literally the easiest way to have pressure to pressure the enemy team buy a control word plop it here you can do there's so many options for you to do that and it just it just puts the idea in the back of their heads it's like oh man maybe they're doing baron we should go check that and then you can play off of that fear and cheese a bush and kill them when they go and check it but instead they just know for an absolute fact that you're not doing baron you should always kind of like plant that seed of like oh maybe they are sneaking it or something like that it's just really easy way to pressure teams effortless hey yeah i see exactly you're really really nervous to come up and check this right because why you don't know if they're there or not because we have no vision on it okay [Music] there's not really a play to be made here malzahar has a spell shield it's just not really gankable so what you should be doing is plopping down all of our wards in areas like this and this so rule of thumb for vision rule of thumb this is this this is a game that you guys are um i mean it's it's roughly even which is kind of crazy to think because you have double their kills um rule of thumb is that in games that you're ahead you should be warning their jungle in games that you're in gabe said it's even you should be contesting vision in the river like plopping down control words in this bush and this bush here here here here here and then games are behind you should be playing very defensively and warding your own jungle trying to minimize cut losses uh don't go bought here nobody needs you bought here there's already three champions and post this late into the game with the dps heavy team they absolutely could be doing baron here so the second any team worth their salt sees three players in the bot lane they know oh sixty percent of their team can't respond if we do baron right now are they nope they're not i wish they were just to teach this lesson but uh yeah also they just don't need you here uh you're reaching the part of the game where you just need to let solo laners split just let them create pressure in the side lanes uh you need to be like pushing mid with caitlyn maybe maybe roaming with your jungler maybe doing baron controlling vision on baron all right remember any fight we take here we're immediately at a disadvantage because we have two marksman versus teemo and we're already chunked so once again we are coming into the dragon with a massive disadvantage and it's because you wasted time in bot lane 40 seconds one minute before the next dragon in your next game i want you to genuinely look at the clock be like dragon spawns in a minute what am i doing in this next minute that is going to help me fight the dragon i'm conserving my health bar maybe taking a reset spinning my gold stocking up on control words which i still haven't seen you purchase and then pinging to my team that like i want to control the pit so as of right now once again we're raw alting when you've got targets right here that you can eq onto and you're all hit nobody your alt did not stun anybody fiona has like three and a half seconds of cc and you're wasting 1.5 of them bro only you got to break that habit break the habit of raw ulting it's one of the worst things you can get into there's so many ways to just get guaranteed stunts but like i've played 10 000 games of leona i've played it you know in high elo against players that can dodge i i played it and and even still i only use my alt if it's an absolute last result or last resort because there's a chance that it misses you can't always land them you know there's prediction involved there's [ __ ] there's a lot of things and you remove all of that from the equation if you just use your eq first i promise you so that those are two of the biggest problems i'm seeing you do is that you're just not preparing for dragon at all you're looking into these because like you still are getting most of them but that's not because of you all right once again really really ugly cc chaining here bro so there's the stun if we're planning to use our alt why not use it all at once all right there's the root once again you can er him during this route but that's a little more advanced you can try that out in the practice tool but the simplest one is just eqr see how you're leaving this space here he's not cc'd so you're ulti well it does land this time actually but that's luck that he passed right into it hey we're live we're dead all right so this this is um and these lower elo games this kind of becomes the um part of the game that's a little more on the uncoachable side because it's just it just feels like 10 players running around with very very little um focus or anything you didn't sweep the pit once again no control words you're you're losing out on a lot of free pressure by not at the very least sweeping it and you know ideally put a controller there yeah i mean i mean this is this is all like really kind of just uncoachable like fiesta stuff like oh we're fighting okay we're losing oh we're winning oh okay so i think we've gotten most of the value that we're going to get out of this coaching session uh it's just going to come down to like someone's going to get caught they're going to do baron or like drop three nibs and the game's pretty much going to be over right yeah i mean these are all just like fiesta fights fiesta fights oh everyone's dead okay not really much to learn from there in terms of like support okay they got a dragon we clear out some vision they got baron okay we're a-ramming okay okay let me just make sure there's nothing with the value of coaching here anymore so i'm pretty sure yeah okay i'm pretty sure gank like just going to like one shot everybody now they actually killed him nice love that skin recall to you yeah i mean we're just kind of on our final legs here huh okay yeah this is what a lot of the late game for leona looks like by the way it's just like kind of timidly uh dropping wards resetting usually getting chunked roaming with your jungler i mean you guys do still have a wincon you guys could get uh infernal drake here and this is actually the the first dragon that i've seen you actively you know set up for so i love to see this it might just be a little bit too too little too late and also i know i've said it a million times so like bro buy some control words please i mean it's just fiesta fight okay so it looks like we we lose this fight they take the dragon run you guys down mid and bot yeah i'm pretty sure we've gotten all the value out of this coaching session so um that is going to be it that's going to conclude it um in oh looks whoa we'll get baron oh we get baron and we die yeah that's going to conclude the coaching session so if you have absolutely any questions please let me know if you guys watch this on youtube put the questions down in the comment section i do actually read those but um in summary absolutely work on that pathing mid you're gonna open up so many options work go into practice tool actually learn how to string together leona combos um maybe even look up like a like a video guide on those because there is a surprising amount of combos and leona's uh kit remember to play bot lane know your match-ups and understand that this maokai and a lot of champions very very much like him cannot fight you level one or two control those bushes do not be afraid path forward learn to front line for your team create space learn how to identify which target you should be sticking on learn when to go deep stop freaking raw alting buy control words and do not buy these items do not buy force of nature and frozen heart uh go with knights foul and zeke's yeah that's that's gonna conclude our leona session i hope you guys learned a lot i know there's a lot of concepts a lot of things discussed so again if you have any questions i would love to know take it easy boys
