Like, how much do we even see of Will? I do not understand why you guys hate Leo! Heck, he sacrificed himself for everyone!

If not for him, Percy may not be alive, Jason may not be alive, no one may be alive! Maybe because that sacrifice had hidden motives and Leo manipulated his best friends to get what he wanted in the end. Seriously in Hidden Oracle we saw how much the Camp loves and cares for him, his own 8 year old brother worked hard to bring him back so, Who is going to tell Little Harley that his big brother (The cabin counselor who is supposed to look after all the cabin members) preferred to go for his two week girlfriend instead of being with him and the other Hephaestus kids (his new family)?

And at least for me, Leo has been awful since Mark of Athena, he bullied Frank only because he is Hazel´s boyfriend, he was doubting Nico´s loyalty in front of Hazel (even if she told him about what he has done for her and how much Nico means to her) and then he makes jokes about Nico being glommy even if he knows about him being in Tartarus and the jar thing. So yes, people has reasons to dislike Leo.

Will maybe doesn´t have a lot of focus in the books, but the little we know is that the kid is brave, selfless and actually gives a dam about his family. His first appearance has him healing Annabeth even if his powers let him drained, Will himself says he is not really a fighter but he still went to the two wars to help the injured campers, he lost his two big brothers and then he had to take the leadership of his cabin because even if he felt bad about Michael  his little siblings needed him, He really wanted to go and search for Kayla and Austin with Apollo but he was the only healer in camp at the moment and he had to do his job.

The boy probably has seen lots of his friends and siblings die in his hands (leading CHB infirmary and all) and clearly has some self worth issues, he is still kind, friendly to everyone, caring, brave and responsable.

And why is everyone saying he is a bad archer?, He is not as good as his siblings but he survived two wars/battles, he is probably a decent fighter.

So yeah, I choose Will over Leo anyday (As in character)

Still, Leo would win the fight.
