Who Wins

Pre-6, Leona wins the level 2 all-in almost every time because her E+Q lockdown is faster and more reliable than your W+Q combo, and Tristana's burst on a locked target is higher than Ezreal's; post-6, Leona's R gives her a point-and-click lockdown that chains perfectly into Tristana's R reset potential, so you still lose the straight 2v2 unless you land your combo first and Ezreal follows immediately.

Your best pattern is to W into Tristana (not Leona) to displace her away from Leona's peel, then Q Leona away to separate them, forcing Ezreal to focus the isolated Tristana; this combo breaks their synergy because Leona cannot E onto you while she is being headbutted, and Tristana is briefly alone and vulnerable.

You should roam when the wave is pushed into the enemy tower and Ezreal can safely farm under it — ideal timings are after a successful level 6 all-in that burns Tristana's flash or R, or when Leona roams first and you can counter-roam mid to create a numbers advantage.
Do not roam if the wave is slow-pushing toward your tower, as Tristana will dive Ezreal or take plates freely.

Do not engage with W+Q when Tristana's R is available and Ezreal is not in a position to follow — Tristana's R will knock you back mid-combo, completely negating your engage and leaving Ezreal in a 1v2 he cannot survive.
