Holy moly buff Sona's utility for real

I mean, destroy the damage on Q if you want but Jesus Jonhatan Christ, give her SOMETHING after laning phase.

You don't like poke supports?

Ok, but then give her a GOOD shield, a GOOD heal, a GOOD movespeed buff.

You chose to buff Nami's utility instead of her heals/damage, then please do that for Sona too, it's a 4vs5 once laning ends.

Lol must be playing sona wrong, actually i know it. Sona has one of the better engages of the squishy supports, And can deal moderate/high damage while healing/shielding/buffing/increasing the speed of multiple members at once.

Not sure if you realize her shield can hit the entire team while healing the two lowest members?

"it's a 4vs5 once laning ends." Moderate damage, Multi Movespeed Buff, Multi Heal, Ridiculous range, And the easiest 5 man stun in the game, the player is making it a 4v5, not sona.

If you were to take sonas damage, and reroll it into her utility, She would be by far and above the most broken healer in the game. No doubt in anyones mind. (which i would argue she already is)

(which i would argue she already is) Her engages isn't one of the best anymore if compare her to the meta support right now. She brings a meh amount of utility to the team. Compare her to Nami and you soon realize Nami is a lot better than Sona in everyway possible. Nami has a AoE stun on a basic ability, a heal that that can damage enemy that bounces back and forth, an ability that empowers AA for better kiting, and a super long range ult that knock up enemies and slows them afterward. Even then Nami is rarely played.

The start of a teamfight it's a lot harder to utilize your abilities on your teammates because they will be moving foward towards the enemy back line. Usually only you and your ADC are ever close together. Her abilities are also on a decently long cooldown for a support who's suppose to spam it. The only passive chord you will ever use in teamfights is the W passive chord. It act as a mini exhaust but that's about it. The other 2 chords are effectively useless unless chasing or running after teamfights. Her heal also only heal 2 people, herself and 1 other teammate. The shield also last a whopping 1.5 seconds so it can be pretty clutch at time but at other time it's also pretty meh. It would be better if they increase her shield duration to like 2 or 2.5 seconds, but that's for another thread.

Moderate damage that fall extremely hard mid game unless you build AP, her movespeed buff is meh, not even worth putting a point into before 6. Easiest 5 man stun? Debatable. Most time you can't hit them all because everyone has a dash now or they stupidly bunch up into a ball. Another thing is Sona's ult is her only hard CC so if you whiff it then you better hope your team is strong enough for the counter engage.

And she is not the most broken healer in the game either that title belong to Soraka. Her heal is the most crappiest heal in the game honestly. It's cost is extremely high for what it does.

A roaming Sona support has a scarier gank than most junglers post-6.

Most support has a scarier ganks than Sona pre-6. Thresh and Alistar can do that at level 2 and are way more effective than Sona post 6

Thresh and Alistar ganks are guaranteed kills or summoners.

Ya she could def use a slight buff on her shield. Like add 0.1 ratio and 50 base. Mspd is fine.

Her E needs a significant buff. It's pretty bad right now.
