Leona advice (late): the runes posted earlier are really bad. Never run scaling runes on supports unless you're Soraka.

Hit level two first
Dump everything to kill them
Do it again whenever they step up
Take tower
Roam mid/top after taking bot

Pregame setup:

AD reds
HP yellows (armor if not using armor quints)
CDR or MR blues
Armor or AD quints

TAKE IGNITE!!!

you'll still win lane, but you'll inevitably lose becuase the enemy team's soraka will never be focused at 45 minutes

Yeah! I carried myself out of bronze back in s4 on the back of Leona. Just make good engages; they'll never respect your engage range and if you win one fight, the lane is over. Just be sure to ping when you're about to go in.

Leona, Braum, Thresh were like the support trinity of S4 though.

Prozac didn't help me. Partly because it sucks at high elevation apparently.

The first step is to not let your quality of life depend on the outcome of a video game.

The second step is to slam jam in a bot game; however if you lose there because two guys were afk, one guy fed, and the other guy built 4 zeal Sona then you go full tilt.

1) Runaan's is good now
2) Runaan's is the best zeal item on almost all champions that have 2 or more of the following 3 attributes: is primarily an autoattacker / has above average range / has a strong on-hit effect or steroid. This means Ashe, Kog'Maw, Jinx, Caitlyn, Tristana. Vayne would probably be there too if Runaan's wasn't deliberately hard-coded to not proc silver bolts on secondary targets.

Vayne would be by far the best adc in the game if they didnt though. She does stupid damage to a single target and is bad at fighting multiple people unless you are really styling on some nerds and thats the way it should be.

Actually Runaan would make her silver bolts useless because it can only stack on a single target at a time.
