About Sona

When Sona first appeared on PBE Fearless said he will listen to what the community has to say about the changes and implement many changes to her current PBE state.

Now Sona will return to PBE with practically nothing changed (bubble radius changed from 300 to 350 + extra heal nerfs)

For example, everyone suggested cooldowns should remain unchanged from live state. Auras, which are a fine well understood concept that defines Sona, are removed completely!

My question is : Is the team that is in charge of Sona willing to change anything about her kit or their promise about listening to us was empty?

So, here's the thing:

If they did whatever people asked when they reworked a Champion, the end result would be no changes whatsoever. The people saying "Revert this" or "don't change that" are pretty much ignored, because they're just trying to stagnate progress.

It's harsh, but it's true. Sona's current auras, as much as I love them, aren't good design for LoL players. In a different game, sure, they'd work fine. But not here. The players here don't have the attention span or awareness to notice them or make use of them. They need obvious, high-impact, low-duration things, and that's what Sona's new auras are. Those pretty much need higher cooldowns, for various reasons.

If you want to provide feedback on the changes, go for it. But asking for her to not get reworked isn't feedback. It's a waste of time and energy.
