The Annie vs Leona matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Annie wins with a 62.5% win rate compared to Leona's 37.5%, giving Annie a 25.0 percentage point advantage. Annie dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
