Who Wins

Pre-6, this lane is roughly even to slightly unfavorable: Leona's level 2 all-in (E+Q) is a serious threat, and your short early range (550 base) means you can't reliably poke without walking into Leona's engage range.
Post-6, you gain a significant advantage — your R knockback hard-counters Leona's engage and gives you a reliable escape or reset tool, shifting the 2v2 decisively in your favor.

Let Morgana W a wave minion or Jinx to proc the root, then immediately stack your E on the rooted target and burst with Q-empowered autos; the root duration is long enough to get 3–4 stacks before the target can react.
Avoid extended trades where Leona can chain CC on you — your pattern is burst-and-disengage, not sustained fighting.

Push the wave consistently using your E explosive charge on the cannon or clustered minions to maintain level parity and deny Jinx her preferred poke range with Chompers; a fast-pushed wave also reduces the window Leona has to engage on you in an open lane.
Don't freeze — you want the wave near their tower so Leona's all-in risks tower aggro.

Never use your R offensively on Leona as your primary engage tool — save it strictly as a knockback to interrupt her E or break her R channel, because burning it aggressively leaves you with no escape against the hardest-engaging support in the game.
