yes but then, 2 bloodthirsters and 1 SoTD and boots is way too much gold to consider an every game situation.

can her Q auto crit?

ok, now that some new light I didn't know of about Leona has been shed.

Assuming you are an expert at the triple auto-attack on Leona, skipping any attackspeed items (since this already abuses attack speed), going purely for high AD (rushing bloodthirsters) at 2 Bloodthirsters maxed, base AD or 109 would put her at a very high 309 AD, and a triple attack in this situation would hurt like hell.

The only major faults I have on this, is that Leona is a poor laner, so a good jungler will crush you.  The only way leona can deal damage is to all-in with zenith blade, leaving her very vulnerable.  At the same time, if the enemy gets hit, she can win trades pretty easily because of all of the stuns.

Another big fault is, zenith blade is hard to pick the exact target you want to jump to.  Sometimes you want to hit someone and the blade goes just a little bit further and hits the next target and you're not where you want to be.  This can be a major problem for teamfights if you're an assassin.

Other than these problems, she could definitely work, and her insane tankiness could make her quite the bruiser-assassin type (like a jarvan)

The main reasons Kha and Zed and Panth to an extent, work midlane is AoE (waveclearing), Leona would be atrocious and could easily be pushed into the tower relentlessly and she would not be able to farm properly.  On top of that, the 0 AD scaling abilities would prove to fall off quite a bit late game (and we already know how hard assassins fall off late-game even with the scaling damage).  So essentially she would still just fill the same role, an initiator with a bit of sustained damage, but would not really be enough to insta-burst an ADC like a fed Kha or Zed would.

If you think about it, level 18, most ADC have around 2000 HP, give or take 100.  If you land your full combo, ult, zenith blade, Q, and shield, you'll deal around:

260 + (130+1 autoattack) + 220 + 350 = 960 in base damages (lowered by resistances)

So you would need to still deal roughly 1000 more damage, and at 250-300 AD is gonna take 3-4 autos.  It is do-able, but just think when is the last time you saw an ADC get auto'd 4 times in succession by a melee character?

As Vlad, the main thing you want to do is retain your dominance even if you die since he scales so hard.  You want to be unrelenting, in the same way a Singed is.  You can die a few times in lane and still be stronger than your lane opponent if you play right, and that's the beauty of Vlad.

As Vlad, in a sense you should expect the junglers to focus more attention to you (weak early strong late), as any smart player would.  The only way to avoid this would be to ward aggressively (2+ wards always) or to just play safer.

And Shaco is one exception to the ganking rule, as he can basically gank from any angle and even has sneak ganks to get around wards.  The only way to prevent Shaco ganks is playing passively, as it's damage is HUGE at early levels.

Title says it all. I was Ashe. Don't hate, I suck at ADC, and whiff Ashe arrows all day.

It was darkpaladinx earlier in the thread, saying rammus and blitz offer more to a team than Nasus.
