Got this skin from a mystery chest last month and honestly wasn't expecting much since I usually rock Solar Eclipse. After about 50 games though, this skin completely changed how I play Leona in teamfights.
The Q animation feels way more responsive than base Leona, especially when you're trying to chain it after your E lands. What really stands out is the ult indicator, it's crystal clear where the center stun zone hits compared to the slow area. During a baron fight yesterday, I managed to land a perfect 4-man stun because the visual clarity made it easier to position the center correctly. Solar Eclipse might have better sound effects, but Crystalis Motus beats it for actual gameplay clarity. The E projectile is probably the cleanest of all her skins too, no weird trailing particles that make enemies think they're safe when they're not.
My only gripe is the W doesn't feel as satisfying to pop compared to other skins, but the cleaner animation actually helps with timing your engages better. You can see exactly when the damage reduction kicks in without all the extra visual noise. It's definitely not pay-to-win, but the improved clarity gives you a slight edge in cluttered teamfights where every frame counts.
Is Crystalis Motus Leona worth it? If you're a support main who plays her regularly, absolutely. The skin aged really well compared to older releases and the visual improvements are noticeable enough to justify getting it. But if you already own Solar or Lunar Eclipse and you're happy with those, you're not missing out on anything game-changing. For anyone looking to improve their Leona mechanics though, this skin makes learning her combos way easier.
