Another Sona Thread, Imagine that.

So, Sona will be potentially getting buffed in 8.2. While I am glad and think she'll need something especially with the talk of nerfing Klepto and manaflow band, I'm hoping Riot doesn't try to slap on a band aid and call it done.

And no, I'm not asking to buff her more. I really hope that Riot continues to look at her and potentially give her larger scale changes, or most ideally, a rework.

Let's get rid of this issue of inconsistency across ranked divisions that forces Riot to suffocate her so she's balanced for low elo, but really lackluster in higher. And frankly, please make her kit involve more skill.

The last major thing I'd love to come out of it is giving Sona her own gameplay identity (i.e. Soraka is the best raw healer, Janna; disengage, Lulu; buffing, etc.) This way, there are legitimate reasons to pick Sona over others aside from merely "I love Sona" (because I do lol).

Not sure what that identity should be to be entirely honest. Currently, she's supposed to be this jack-of-all-trades, aura based, hyper-scaling support. Truthfully, I think the jack-of-all-trades archetype should be left to Nami, and the idea of a hyper-scaling support is counter-intuitive considering they sacrifice Gold and XP for their team. Then there's the Auras, which all things considered, have been dramatically improved from what they used to be, but are still flawed by definition.

Really, I don't know, because at the end of the day, Sona has become so many different things when it comes to Identity. So then the question becomes, "what do you change without removing who she is?" And that's where the professionals are supposed to come in.

Of course, I have my own personal beliefs on what makes Sona who she is, but I'm also not the only Sona player. Again, all I can hope for is that the parts of Sona that are definitely unhealthy regardless of biased opinions, get fixed.

This is not meant to start some hate-filled debate between people who want Sona to stay the way she is kit-wise, the ones who want to see her changed , and the non Sona players who have to be on the receiving end of playing against her. I just figured, eh, I'll throw this up with the hopes that maybe it'll actually accomplish something (although my hopes are not high).

Please, by all means, comment if you want, but just be civil. There's been enough screaming the past few weeks tbh.
