More Sona Nerfs

I really need some clarification on this. Sona is in a good spot right now. She brings a good amount of utility and damage to her team. She is a great poke supp, and synergizes very well with poke comps.

However, she is the squishiest champion in the game atm, or at least in the bottom 5. With no runes or masteries, she has less health than a melee minion. On top of that, she is very low range. She has to be very close to all of her teammates to get 100% effectiveness out of her abilities, and is very, very easy to pop in teamfights or skirmishes.

Riot's nerfs last patch were unjustified, and this only makes it worse, both literally and figuratively.

Now, to me, the thing that stands out to me about Sona is her Q. I love it. It can be used as long range poke, or, a hard engage nuke. The original cast is pretty weak, but can hit 2 targets at 700 range. However, if she gets in auto range, this can be combined with her passive, dealing quite a bit of damage. This can be very very risky however, as anyone with a brain will jump on you, and you will die. If you go for the passive poke at the wrong time, you will get 1-shotted. This is even more true against supports like Zyra, Leona, Thresh, and Blitz, as the will laugh as you get 100 - 0 with their abilities alone.

Now, the reason I am writing this is because they want to Nerf Sona's passive Q powercord. The nerf? 50% of powercord damage reduced to 40%. Stack that on with last patch's nerfs, and this is a serious problem.

The thing that bothers me even more is that at the same time, Elise and Hecarim are geting buffed. Now, dont get me wrong, I think these champs need a buff, but they are already seeing lcs play. Guess who has not seen a single game this year? (Correct me if im wrong), Sona.

Now to me, Nerfing a non-competitive pick, and buffing already dominant competitive picks sends some very strong messages that really just say, and I quote "Ma Esports". The best part is, I never see anyone say "Damn that Sona was OP". You guys just keep nerfing her. Over and Over again.

Her scalings arent good, her heal is mediocre, and her speed-boost is non existent early game. She has to consistently put herself in danger to be effective, and, praise the sun, she actually gets huge rewards for being played properly! I don't see the problem Riot has with Sona, but she needs to be left alone. It is okay for a supp other than Thresh and Janna to be played, I promise!

I demand justice. A symphony of justice, for our fare Maiden of the Strings. I call out to you, my fellow Sona enthusiests, re-direct your pitchforks from the rework, and let us try to salvage what remains.
