Thanks Law, that does help. Frozen Mallet sounds like a good idea, and so does saving the Q stun if I don't need it immediately. I tend to go combo-happy and mash EWQ so I stun them right when I get to them, haha. I think another part of why I never seem to do well with her is deciding when to engage. Especially during the laning phase before I have a lot of tanky items, I go in to what I think looks like a good initiation, but then once the enemy carry gets un-stunned I get harassed low enough I have to back. I don't know if I'm not picking my fights well, or if I should not engage at all and just stand around looking intimidating, or if my carry simply isn't following up (I've only played her in solo normals, but I know I should try her with a friend).

Well your partner should always be ready to follow up, and you can try to make sure they are by letting them know you're about to engage. If your partner initiates with you the enemy carry should have such low health that they can't risk attacking you back because it's run, or die. A lot of the time as Leona you can position yourself behind the enemy minions, and kind of scare the enemy into not coming near so they don't get exp or gold.
