Leona Visual Update in Patch 12.7
Leona, along with Shaco and Orianna is on the receiving end of a visual update in League of Legends Patch 12.7. Out of the three champions she will be received the least amount of changes, but Riot did state that they want to make her look as epic as she did in the Season 12 cinematic 'The Call'.
These changes are akin to those of Syndra and Vel'Koz and will revolve around the champion's abilities. These are small-scale updates and won't be as big as the upcoming Skarner VGU or the previous Caitlyn ASU.
