To all the people who says Sona needs a nerf

[sg-lulu] How does it feel to shift your mistakes on the support who has only received nerfs since release?

One of the weakest supports in the game and you still believe she needs more unjustified nerfs? I'm no expert, but even I can see some flaws there.

Riot said she needs more nerf

Riot's go-to strategy is always to nerf Sona, even when nothing partakes to her.

You mean other than the entire new rune system that indirectly buffed her?

[sg-miss-fortune] You just proved my point even more.

Runes are way too strong->Nerf Sona

if runes are fine for most champions, why nerf all of them for 1 problem champ? She also has had the highest win rate for a long time now, especially in ARAM (though that is obvious as to why).

I'm pointing out that your statement: "...even when nothing partakes to her." is flat out wrong.

This is pretty funny because as a support player, Sona is pretty much fermented cow meat when I'm playing the likes of Thresh Leona Blitzcrank

It's quite funny, any champ (even those without CC) can do better than her.

Completely unrelated topic: When you queue for support and you don't get your primary role, does it make you actually happy? As a support main myself, it brings a smile to my face seeing other people wanting to play the role now.

To some degree it does make me excited that the support actually wanted support instead of be an autofilled support, for it raises my confidence that whoever plays role that mostly determines bot lane knows what he/she is doing. I'd rather not be tempted to babysit bot lane when I'm not support

Complete understandable!

So here we are again..

Sona sitting at 55%+ wr and some people still defend her.

Dr Pheep4 votes

And here we go again, people looking at %WR to justify anything. The runes need to be balanced, not Sona. Leona is able to do +500 damage at level 3 with her rotation combo, that's two stuns, +500 damage, and she now has superb defenses at the time. Well what about others? Nunu doing +3.3k damage on his ult that was only charged up for 1.5 seconds. Not even fully charged and it did that. Sion not even focusing on anything other than turrets, is an infinite Rift Herald, accumulating a ton of deaths but single handed carrying games from ulting and destroying turrets. Rengar doing 80% of someone's HP in about a second at level 2.

The list goes on until the last champion. I'll say it again, the runes need to be balanced. And they will be, it's preseason. Make changes to champs after the main problem has been settled.

Rengar doing 80% of someone's HP in a second at level 2

WTF? 80% of lets stay 500 HP is 400. Rengar can certainly do that in practice tool where he buys IE Ghostblade at level 2, but in live game?

noob plz...

sona is still sitting at 53% win rate with 14% pick rate, after receiving "nothing but nerfs"

lmao its not the runes bud, she's still broken as hell

instakilling their squishy simply by clicking on them seems cool, maybe that's why she has such a high wr and playrate.

e a s y and o p

but that's just what little oi me who's b2 and doesn't climb thinks [zombie-brand-clap]

Basically what happens is every patch the players start QQing about the champ with the highest winrate and riot always nerfs that champ in short order.

Sona was gutted in 3.14 to "compensate" for Spellthief's Edge being created, lost her place in the top tier to Nami as a result. Sona was gutted in 4.13 and disappeared from competitive play, still to this day. Sona was gutted in 4.16 and 4.20 to "compensate" for being gutted in 4.13. Sona was gutted in 5.1 to "compensate" for DFG being removed from the game, despite not being a DFG-user. Sona was gutted in 6.14 TWICE and then gutted again in 6.16 to compensate once more for being gutted. Now here we are, Sona being gutted in 7.22 again as "compensation" for indirect changes that affected ALL supports and NOT just Sona.
