Sona needs a nerf
Support? or Carry? Doing 800 with a single Q to ADC

lol this has always been sona and she just got a damage nerf, your problem was your team having no frontline, no disengage, and poor poke. sona is not the reason you got run over
this is because of things like that that riot will never buff Sona for high elo
because of kids getting destroyed by Sona in laning phase (somehow) and then get snowballed on
Mathematically, for Sona to do 800 damage with her Q requires 1280 AP. At rank 5 it has a pitiful base of 160 which is paired with a remarkably low 50% AP scaling. This is without taking magic resistance into consideration.
Sona has the lowest damage potential of the entire support class. How about you show us her item build so we can see how many artificial damage sources she had to lean on and your team's lack of even a single MR items because the enemy team is "full AD."(let's just ignore thunderlords, shiv and the facts Zed and Panth have magic damage in their kits) Even then, she's still the squishiest character inLeague and building full squish like that means you should have killed her with literally 1 basic attack.
Your team's loss is due to your team's own lack of experience and game knowledge, not knowing to punish her for picking the weakest support in League. In addition to what looks like a jungle Twitch??? and your lack of a real top-laner. Picking Sona anywhere above low gold will get you ostracized by your own teammates due to how completely useless she is.
Prepare for the mass downvotes from sona mains.
Sona's damaged is inexcusable, and probably the main reason "support" is such a loose term now. The amount of damage she can dish out with the smallest amount of AP is stupid, plus I don't think I've ever seen a Sona build her as a support, she is just another mage bot lane that is slightly squishier than the usual champ. Let just go over her kit real quick, her passive isn't the passive of a support, its damaged focus and is just begging the player to to get a lichbane so they can take off haft the ADC's hp with a single AA. Her Q does more damage that most mage's abilities, it hits two people so now ya got 800dmg throw around everywhere. And worst ya can't dodge it, why make such a simple ability, so broken? Simple usually means not great. League has no reward for playing the "hard" champions. In most cases the simple BS champs are a shit ton better than the complex ones. Her W,E are ok. They are what they're suppose to be (*if anything they should nerf her dmg and buff her heals, make her a, oh i don't know, a support.) Her R just absolutely chunks, an ability is either suppose to be a CC focused or a damage focused. Its fast, easy as fuck to land, punishes so hard and does so much damage sweet Jesus I saw a full AP sona 2 shot an adc and a support at once. Main reason I am writing this. I don't play league much anymore, it hasn't been fun in so long. I play an aram now and then while waiting for something, and the rare times a friend drags me into a normal game is just endless pain. Many champion need to be fixed but sona has just been stupid for too long.
