Leona kind of depends on lvl 2 or 3 hard engages and then lane superiority from what I can tell?
Yeah, leona is strong in lane but risky cause like you said she doesn't have any options besides all in. If you get unlucky with a timing and their jungler ganks at the perfect time you're just screwed. And I absolutely despise playing her later on, for some reason i feel incredibly useless lategame.
Sona is probably the easiest support to get started with, just heal and poke with Q and autos when you can. Zyra has probably the best harass of any support, and you can control the lane very well. Both of those i think are champions you can basically win the lane by yourself with if you're significantly better than your opponents. Janna's really solid as well, but you have to have good shield timings and you can't really win the lane by yourself.
