Riot please find a way to make Sona work at higher elo

Sona sees very little play when the stakes are high, she has got to be one of the most counter-able champions in the game what is very absurd since she is just a support, I don't think there has been a single recorded LCS or important tournament game she has won since her rework 10 months ago, people who used to play her over a year ago in challanger or high diamond have dropped atleast 3 ranks since the rework and basically there are next to 0 Sona players going up from diamond 2 because she is mechanically capped and a liability

Is there not some way that Sona can be mechanically better for better players, her auto target skills are probably what lets her down and keeps her in a state of unviability and sport the most pathetic base stats on herself and her spells

not asking for buffs here, just for a difficulty tradeoff, such as Q being a skillshot

And I know the trollforce is just going to burst in with "LOL SONA IS EASY 2 PLAY" and "52% winrate in normals" But why should specific champions be deemed "training wheels" champions and be throwaways for better champions later on when you get better at playing mechanically Play Sona and move onto Nami and Janna Play Garen and move onto Irelia and Riven

I remember seeing a lot of Sona in LCS and challenger streams.

But I haven't watched any pro games in a while, so that's maybe changed.

she never wins them and is usually the reason why

So when you say "make her work in higher elos" I'm finding it hard to understand what you mean. You say make her viable but then don't ask for a buff but instead a skillshot. How does that make Sona any "better"?

I think he wants her to be more complex so she can be better. Nami is harder but more powerful, for example.

im going to agree here. When i get excited to see any champion on the enemy team regardless of which champion im playing, there is something wrong

Sona's q being a skillshot would literally make her worse than everysingle champion in the game

Also, the following website only uses stats from Plat1 + ranked games.

Comparing Sona to Janna is kinda irrelevant, they do 2 different things in and outside of lane. That is like comparing Leona to Braum

Sona's only problem (Other than inherent kit weaknesses that are necessary for balance) how stupid squishy she is for no good reason. It would make more sense for Janna to have the starting stats Sona has, considering her kit. But Nah, lets give the NO HARD CC/MOBILITY PRE 6 SUPPORT some of the lowest starting stats in the game.

Her kit is not the problem, her shit tier stats are. If her stats weren't garbage, she would have a reason to be picked over Nami.

Edit: I also feel the need to mention that a champion not being played in lcs =/= weak. EX: RIven, Fiora, Shaco
