Just another reminder that SONA'S E ONLY GIVES YOU 1% EXTRA MS PER RANK

Still pissed at the Nami buffs, and now you tell us there are no changes for Sona in 5.18 Is it really that fucking difficult to put a benefit on her E when she ranks it up to 2-5 ?

Nami is a completely different champion than Sona and is much more utility based. Sona has both good damage and some utility. Her Q and W range combined with her not really healthy play style is why her E is just an okay buff. You act like a 14% movement speed buff (with no ap ) for your team is useless. And say they do buff her E to satisfy you, now what? Sona is allowed to Q + auto to chunk your health from a massive range, retreat with no cost with her E (assuming you want it to be buffed to make her and her team racecars) and use W healing when ever she wants. This doesn't sound like healthy gameplay to me. There are other ways to buff Sona and her E speed or Q damage is not the way to do it.

Fun fact 1, Nami's bases and ratios are better than Sona's in every way.

Fun fact 2, Nami's better than Sona in every way and there's no reason to pick Sona right now.

Not in every way,

Sona's pros over nami aren't much but there's still some.

  1. Longer range poke along with it being more reliable
  2. When sona pokes she doesn't have to give up her shield/heal ability
  3. Movement speed buffing multiple allies at the same time doesn't require a waste of an aoe skill
  4. Her ult is easier to land

Longer range poke along with it being more reliable

Sona's Q out ranges Nami's W, but it also does pathetic damage. If you want to do any damage at all you need to AA, which has a much shorter range.

When sona pokes she doesn't have to give up her shield/heal ability

Neither does Nami, it bounces back and heals you.

Movement speed buffing multiple allies at the same time doesn't require a waste of an aoe skill

That's an advantage. Nami effectively has another use for her speed boost. Sona's just left with a crappy speed up all the time.

Her ult is easier to land

You don't have to land Nami's ult. Its main use is to disengage, which means if the enemies need to waste time dodging it's done its job.

Nami is just a superior Sona right now. Picking Sona over her isn't justifiable right now and the fact that they're the best 'advantages' you could think of shows that.

It doesn't always bounces back to heal you, the opponent could instead go out of range during the travel time of the w to prevent a bounce back and heal, mainly in lane phase you're going to use her w to either heal, or poke, and mainly people use it to poke as it's a targeted skill

Sona's E scales way too fucking hard with AP is the problem. If they trimmed the scaling a little bit they could add some better base numbers.

It also scales really hard with ult rank. For some reason Sona's ult rank affects her Es power more than her E rank.

Winrate excuse, every fucking time Nami didn't have a shitty winrate and she still got buffed, she was already better then Sona anyway

Because Nami takes... you know skill.

And why should this stop a champion from being decent? Ahri/Annie exist and are easy champions, but they are good

Nami's kit is easier to buff because she takes skill and her kit is less oppressive than Sona's.

Sona needs buffs but why buff her by giving her something that won't fix anything?
