Who Wins

Pre-6, you lose the poke war entirely because Ziggs outranges you and can zone you off the wave with Q and W; your only winning condition pre-6 is landing a hook on Leona or Ziggs when they overextend, which Ziggs specifically will avoid by playing behind minions.
Post-6, your R silence into Q hook is a strong all-in setup, but Leona's R can match your engage and Ziggs's R can disengage your dive, so your post-6 power is conditional on landing the hook first.

Your pattern is to use minion clutter to obscure your Q angle, then hook Ziggs (not Leona, who wants to be engaged on) and immediately use E knockup into Sylas's follow-up — Ziggs dies to this combo if he is below 70% health.
Do not hook Leona; she will turn the hook into a free engage for herself and Ziggs.

You should roam aggressively after level 6 when Ziggs pushes the wave to tower, as Ziggs alone cannot 1v2 and Leona is immobile enough that she cannot follow your roam quickly.
Optimal roam timing is when the wave is crashing into your tower (Ziggs slow-pushes), giving you 10–15 seconds to reach mid and return before the next wave arrives — coordinate with Sylas to follow your roam.

Do not hook into Leona's E range thinking you can win the 2v2 — she will E onto you, Q stun you, and Ziggs will follow up while you are locked down with no abilities available.
Avoid standing in the open at medium range; Ziggs will poke you to low health and make your hook attempts irrelevant because Sylas cannot follow up on a low-health Blitzcrank engage.
