The Leona versus Lux matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Leona deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Lux deals primarily magic damage (88.97%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Lux, ranking 29th (versus 37th for Leona) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Leona player to maintain constant pressure on Lux, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
