@Meddler @RiotRepertoir Any new info on Sona getting love before Worlds?
A lot discussion already happened concerning Sona's current status so I won't repeat it here, I'm just asking if those lead to anywhere help-wise before Worlds. I love Sona's character and her gameplay (including being able to one shot with q) and I'll feel bad for her if she doesn't make a showing. Zyra got her buffs, will Sona get hers too?

Please don't downvote me for this, I'm just asking a question about a midlaner/support that I like quite a bit, if you have a problem with Sona/me just leave the thread alone.
As a final point, I'd like to quote MotherTeresa1910's point on Sona as to why she isn't played as much:
I think it's because in the past she didn't need gold to function at all. Her auras were just base stats, they didn't need to scale off of anything. But now she scales off of AP in absolutely everything and her base values are frankly quite poor. Her poke in particular is pretty much balanced around her picking up a Sheen at this point, which quite simply isn't going to happen in competitive play.
Also, as another guy said, people are just terrible at playing against her in solo q. People call Sona easy but against a good opponent she's really not, which is the problem with competitive. Playing aggressively with a champion who's made out of paper has a ton of risks associated with it, especially against tanky supports who can genuinely 100-0 her if they land their engage in the early levels. But she's balanced around people not retaliating because solo q players are a lot more likely to run away from Sona's poke than they are to fight her back, even though after she's used her damage is the best possible time to attack her.
