Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Ziggs win the lane through sustained poke and your E protecting Ziggs from Leona's CC — Leona cannot meaningfully engage if you keep your E ready, and Samira is too short-ranged to trade effectively; post-6, Leona's R is the primary threat, and your own R can be used to interrupt Samira's R channel or peel Leona off Ziggs, making the post-6 fight winnable if you react correctly.

Your best pattern is to hold your Q for when Leona commits to an engage — a root on Leona after she uses E-Q means she is stuck in place and you can follow up with W for massive damage; keep your E on Ziggs as the default shield target since he is the primary carry, and only shift it to yourself if you are the one being dove.

You should generally not roam early because Leona is a constant engage threat and leaving Ziggs alone against a Leona-Samira lane is dangerous — however, if you shove the wave hard with Ziggs and both enemies are low or have used summoners, a mid roam at level 6 with your R is viable; only roam when the wave is pushed and Ziggs has enough tools to survive briefly alone.

Do not use your E reactively after Leona has already landed her stun — the Black Shield must be applied before the CC hits to negate it, so you need to anticipate Leona's engage rather than respond to it; pre-shielding Ziggs when Leona walks forward aggressively is the correct habit to develop.
