Working on the same side, Leona players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide a lot of utility for your team. Combined, these champs may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Although, by bringing Leona and Kennen together, you may not be granting your other teammates much attack damage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their kit.
