Blitzcrank into Leonamedium

Overview

Use brush control and fog to threaten pulls that set up ADC burst.
Deny Leona's engage angle by holding hook threat longer and forcing her to respect brush.
Prioritize lane space to enable your ADC's positioning and punish Leona's all-in attempts.

Hold longer than Leona wants, then pull when minions don't block and ADC can follow up.
Deny brush to limit Leona's engage options and create safer hook angles.
Save peel cooldowns to protect ADC if Leona commits engage or after your hook misses.

Respect Leona's level 2 + all-in when she has brush control and ADC follow-up.
Avoid overextending when ultimate is available; it can start fights from range.
Beware when Leona's ADC steps past minions during your cooldown; your ADC becomes vulnerable.

Win the level 2 race by coordinating + with your ADC's damage for early kills.
Control brush to deny Leona safe engage angles and force her to play behind minions.
Crash the wave with your ADC before roaming to punish Leona's missing support and secure vision.

Level 2 unlocks + all-in threat; use this to force Leona and ADC back or secure kills.
Level 3 adds chase speed; combine with for stronger engage and better peel.
Level 6 silence can interrupt Leona's defensive spells and enable clean engages or disengages.

Convert brush and fog control into reliable picks that your ADC can burst down quickly.
Roam after crashing waves to apply mid pressure and secure river vision for dragon control.
Deny enemy ADC access by zoning with hook threat and force Leona to waste engage cooldowns on peel.
