Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Caitlyn have a poke advantage, but Leona's level 2 all-in is a genuine threat — if she lands E+Q on Caitlyn, your Q root is your only answer and it must be ready.
Post-6, your R adds burst to punish low-health targets, but Sivir's R gives her team a movement speed steroid that makes your skillshots harder to land in extended fights.

Your best pattern is to land E on Sivir or Leona to proc the slow, then follow with Q root to set up Caitlyn's headshot or your own R burst — the E+Q combo is your primary kill setup.
Avoid using abilities randomly for poke; save your Q for when Leona commits her E so you can root her in place and punish the overextension.

You should generally not roam early because Caitlyn needs peel and your absence gives Leona free engage opportunities.
If you do roam, do it only after shoving the wave to tower post-6 with Caitlyn's push, and only when Leona is low or recalled — mid roams with R can be impactful but the bot lane must be safe first.

Do not waste your Q into Sivir's W spell shield — she will block it and you lose your primary CC tool for several seconds, leaving Caitlyn completely exposed to Leona's follow-up engage.
Track Sivir's W cooldown before committing any important ability.
