Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Leona win the 2v2 if Leona can land an engage — your burst combo with E slow into Double Up bounces is lethal and Brand+Mel lack the sustained tankiness to absorb it, but Mel's E root and Brand's stun can punish overextended Leona dives hard.
Post-6, you win decisively if you land your R in a chokepoint, but Mel's W can reflect your R's projectiles back if she times it, so you must angle your R from a position where Mel cannot body-block or reflect the cone.

Wait for Leona to land her E+Q stun chain before committing your E slow and Double Up — trading without Leona's CC first exposes you to Mel's E root and Brand's stun while you have no escape.
Once the enemy is locked down, use E to slow their escape, then position Double Up to bounce off the CC'd target onto the second enemy for maximum burst.

Push the wave hard early to deny Brand and Mel free poke on you under tower — standing in a slow-push wave gives Mel free Q AoE poke and Brand free W+Q setups.
Crash the wave, back, and reset to deny them the ability to freely poke you while you last-hit in a spread-out wave.

Never walk into Mel's E root while your Leona is on cooldown — being rooted without Leona's peel means Brand can freely stack his passive on you and Mel can stack Overwhelm for an execute threshold kill.
Respect the range on Mel's E and stay behind minions to block the orb's path.
