Who Wins

Pre-6, Leona's level 2 all-in (E+Q) is the biggest threat to you — if she lands it before you have W, you will lose the trade significantly; however, once you have W at level 2 or 3, you can sustain through her burst and fight back in extended trades.
Post-6, you can steal Leona's R for a powerful teamfight tool, but Ziggs's R gives him a disengage that limits your dive potential, so you need Blitzcrank to hook Ziggs before you commit.

Your pattern is to wait for Blitzcrank to hook Leona or Ziggs, then immediately E onto the hooked target and use your full combo (Q-W-E chain) to burst them before they can disengage — do not engage independently without Blitzcrank's setup.
Against Leona specifically, bait her E by standing at medium range, then E away and punish her cooldowns with W sustain trades.

You have decent wave clear with Q, so match Ziggs's push to deny him free poke angles — a pushed wave forces Leona to stand near tower and reduces her engage threat.
When you hit 6, look for roam opportunities to mid immediately after Blitzcrank hooks Leona, as Ziggs alone cannot 1v1 Blitzcrank and you can create a numbers advantage elsewhere.

Do not steal Leona's R and use it aggressively in a 2v2 — Ziggs's W and R can disengage your dive and waste the stolen ability entirely.
Avoid extended trades with Leona at full health even with W available; her E+Q lockdown combined with Ziggs follow-up will outdamage your sustain if both enemies are healthy.
