Wow such intellectual not another Vayne or Riven post HAH upvotes please (Okay but riot those champions do need nerfs)

I'm not sure if this is underlooked or not, but for a point and click champion Sona's early game damage can be pretty hefty on squishier champions. I know you can come back at me saying just play something engage, tanky like Leona, or CC or whatever but no I'm not talking about that, literally when I was playing a game as Janna, sona walks up to me, q and then auto with empowered q and about 25-40% of my health is gone. It's not like I can dodge them as well, what am I supposed to flash her q xD I'm not talking about punishing/etc, but saying about why that sort of damage is allowed in this game? I know further on I can have shields and such but since Sona is a sort of a "jack of all trades", the fact that she has such high base damage just doesn't seem right to me. Also, scaling.

Thoughts? [sg-ahri-2]

Err... Are you complaining about sonas Q, passive, Auto with aery?

Sona has one basic ability that does damage, low base AD, and below average base/scaling on her passive. Just stay out of her auto range and stop letting her poke you?

If you sneeze at her she is dead she has no health.

What Sona needs is actually a buff to her base, personal (not scaling or ally) Q and/or AA Damage at the cost of an E AP scaling nerf. Nothing ridiculous, but lowering her late game MS will help bring her back in line while giving her some of that early game spice back. It'll also make her trades riskier early-mid due to less mobility.
