Who Wins

Pre-6, you win short trades if you can land your E into a wall on Leona, removing her as a threat and letting Jhin freely damage Vayne.
Leona's level 2 all-in (E-W) is dangerous if you are not already in melee range to interrupt it, so respect her level 2 spike.
Post-6, you are the primary peel for Jhin's R channel and also the engage tool — your R is a strong disengage against Leona's R dive.

Your best pattern is to wait for Leona to commit her E onto Jhin, then immediately E her into a wall and W-stun her — this punishes her engage and lets Jhin land his 4th shot freely.
Avoid using your E aggressively into open space; it only has value when a wall is nearby to proc the knockback stun.

You do not need to hard-shove the wave; instead, maintain a slight freeze or slow push to keep Vayne from freely farming while denying Leona safe roam windows.
If you shove too fast, Leona can roam mid while you are stuck clearing, which is a net loss.

Do not use your W shield reactively after Leona has already landed her full combo — use it proactively when she starts her E animation to reduce the stun duration impact.
Wasting your W on poke rather than saving it for Leona's all-in is the most common mistake that loses this lane.
