how to make Sona's gameplay less binary
Disclaimer: difference between "less binary" and "balanced" is that "less binary" makes balancing easier. I am talking about making Sona less binary rather than immediate balance.
--Give her power chord passive a time limit for holding onto the stacks, decaying if unused (similiar to Ashe Q stacks) --make her power chord stacks reset to 0 if she uses a spell while at full stack --buff the power chord effects in return:
- more damage on Q powerchord
- more dmg reduction on W powerchord
- more slow%&slow duration on E powerchord
-- give her annie's passive Graphic User Interface(?) for opponents to react on
these changes would make Sona a lot more dependent on managing power chord passive. Sona players would no longer be able to faceroll WQWWEWQQEWQWEQEQ and occasionally throw in a basic attack whenever they feel like it. This change would also make laning phase a lot less binary since sona would not be able to save up her 3rd stack for as long as she wants, giving her times of lows and highs.
, for example still manages to have some form of skill expression even on her click-and-point W and E.
's passive and Q, for example, still manages to leave some form of skill expression despite being click-and-point.
