Sona burns out her mana too fast even in late-game since Mana Font was nerfed

darkdill··4 votes·746 views

Sona only ends up with around 16 base mana regen and 1106 maximum mana at level 18. Considering that her heal costs 100 mana, along with her other costs (200 mana ult anyone?), she has RAPID burnouts even if she builds a lot of mana regen or a Mikael at level 18.

This needs to be adjusted, IMO, or playing as Sona is going to quickly become unsatisfying. I mean, look at Janna; she gets around 1500 maximum mana at level 18. Why does she get the good amount while Sona and Nami get the short end of the stick?

I recommend increasing Sona's maximum mana at level 18 to something more reasonable. 1106 is not nearly enough.

"Why buff Sona?! STFU!"

Because if she's burning mana too rapidly, it takes a lot out of her decision-making. She's not able to keep fighting for any lengthy period of time, which is something supports are SUPPOSED to be able to do. If Sona's constantly going to be out of mana, what decisions are there to make? None, really, except run to her death.

I've been bringing archangels and morello on all of my supports lately. Mana nerf too hard.

They are nerfing her speed by 5 points and Power Chord damage scaling from 50% to 40%... so those are not any sort of mana nerfs...

Also, if you are spamming heal, you are using it wrong considering it scales with missing HP. You guys are just spamming her spells as if you have unlimited mana. =P

give a little thought to your spell casts and you will find that you dont go oom immediately after leaving the fountain

always make sure your spell casts have meaning dont just mindlessly spam when they are off cooldown

I happen to do that and STILL mana burn.

You kinda need to spam heal in team fights if you don't want teammates to die. Otherwise you get reported by your teammates for "sucking".
