Sona got a pretty big buff in the preseason update

I don't understand why people think items/masteries/etc. that are non-unique to Sona somehow miraculously can stop her from literally being the weakest support in the game. News flash: any mage support can do this and to better success than Sona could. In particular, Nami is literally just a better version of Sona, there hasn't been a single reason to not pick Nami over her as of 4.13. Even better, Bard is literally just a better version of Nami, has been since he was first released into the game. Even if either of them weren't just superior carbon copies of her, fact remains she's the worst-of in every single regard in the entire support class and no indirect change to this game will make her playable. Patch 4.13 needs to be reverted or else Sona will continue being an unplayable character.

I tried her with the Athene's Grail and I have to say... it's a hard decision to make... It's not cheap or expensive, it doesn't give anything specifically that helpful. I'd probably still go for either Iceborn Gauntlet or Locket first as a support. I'm not that crazy about this new grail, tbh
