Meta staple Leona (6.6% pick rate, 9th most popular out of 52 Support champions) rarely faces off-meta Taric (1.2% pick rate). However, even uncommon picks can cheese unprepared players, so basic matchup knowledge provides valuable insurance. Identical tiers, different outcomes: Despite matching A+-tier ratings, Leona struggles with only 45.1% win rate. Taric's mechanics prove more effective in this particular confrontation. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Aftershock + Font of Life combination (50.6% win rate) plus optimal itemization Locket of the Iron Solari, Thornmail, Frozen Heart, and Plated Steelcaps boosts your chances from 45.1% to 72.3% - potentially game-changing.
Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Leona's superior warding (0.93 wards/min, 15th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Leona outputs more damage (364 vs 269/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Taric: leads in both matchup win rate (54.9%) and KDA (2.80 vs 2.50, 13th vs 22nd place). Leona players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
The magic damage that Leona deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Taric has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Leona is superior vision control (ranked 15th among supports) (versus 38th for Taric), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.8 versus 2.5) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Leona player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Taric player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
