So what are we gonna do about Sona?

Even after her last nerf, she's still at a 56% win rate, and has the third highest play rate among supports. She has amazing poke in lane, for sure, but that's only part of the problem. The real issue is how easy it is to itemize cdr on supports this season. And on a support with burst as amazing as Sona, this is obviously a problem.

champion.gg has incorrect stats stop referencing it it once stated th e#1 win rate build for sona was a nashors tooth first item

http://www.lolking.net/champions/sona?chartType=winrate&region=na&map=sr&queue=1x1&league=diamond#statistics this is the real win rates

she is hovering around a 52-53% in diamond (only elo that matters)

she is perfectly balanced if people git gud

Diamond win rates aren't all that matters. And even in diamond she's still out of line. Just looking at that chart there were days where she hit almost 60% win rate. That's even worse than the numbers champion.gg has. The exact numbers vary from day to day, but it doesn't really matter now. We all know Sona is out of line at this point.

yes diamond elo is the only w/r that matters becuase if you arent diamond you dont know how to play league of legends (sorry non 1% players its the truth)

anyone that lets a floating pinata with 500 hp harass the mdown repeatedly at 550 range without flashing on her to force her to burn flash needs to go back to bot AI

if you go flash for flash vs sona she cant play aggressively anymore

becuase she cant play aggressively she cant cash in FQ procs which means no gold no gold = weak mid/end game = probably zoned from exp as well

these kids dont even buy void staff on sona b/c they dont know how to build her properly so she immediately falls off once you buy a single mr item even if its only merc treads

I actually love playing against sona as a 5k game sona main why? I kill her once every 2-3 minutes because she is hilariously out of position with poorly chosen pokes and I actually know how to punish it becuase im not terrified of a player controlled cannon minion like you

the funniest thing? you people ban sona and shit becuase you are afraid of some kid with a sightstone and athenes going 0-10 that didnt even build ap

really?....... really?

sona mid/sona APC replacing ADC are what you should really be terrified of

there literally just was a thread saying how diamonds completely disregard lower ranked players

what win rate should a champ have? 52-53% is damn close to 50/50 meaning she isnt so over powered that picking or not picking her is a insta win/loss. a sona cant carry a game by her self. she is a support. she has some poke, and a well rounded kit. she is squishy, immobile and has no cc until her ult. which is a skill shot. the popularity of sona did rise a bit with the rework but she also rose out of the match ups in lane. where you see alot of karma, nami, morgana, soraka sona is a strong pick into or verses those champs. nami has more heal and higher scaling ap ratios on her abilites, morgana has a hard cc a shield and a aoe root with her ult that isnt a skill shot. soraka has a global ult that heals all team mates , karma has alot of burst and mobility. sona has some poke, some heal a slight movement speed buff and a skill shot ult as her only form of cc. plz cry more

She actually has further nerfs on the PBE. Her speeds for E in both the self buff and aura are being further reduced and the CDR granted by R is being reduced at early levels.

Sona x Rubick2 votes

wrong win rate

and she is being nerfed, her R nerf is an ok nerf, her E is being nerfed in both early and late game.

Absolutely nothing, the only reason why her winrate is so high is because a ton of people play her.

i just heard that riot plans on disabling all support based champs, going to get rid of all tank items and buff all assassin class champs. would that make you shut up about sona?

Literally just nerf her more. Why would you assume that her still being strong after one set of nerfs meant Riot were powerless to weaken her?

She needs to be brought down to the 40's to be balanced
