You lucky bastard, I wasted essence on it that I can never get back.

Shame ya can't trade 'em right? Bet you could get someone to trade you an assload of shards for that.

No thanks. Then there would be RMT sites selling skins.

you could trade for equal value only

Not everyone plays Sona y'know. Why would you want a skin for a champ you never play? Unless you plan on selling that account...

Common misunderstanding. Everyone can play Sona, but not everyone chooses to.

She's one of the easiest supports to pick up and play and autofill exists.

Actually, she's really not. Her abilities are easy, but her passive takes work.

Leona, Soraka, and Janna are objectively the easiest.

Giga Kahuna9 votes

leona is a lot more difficult to play than sona because you have to engage and be smart about when you do it because if you fuck it up you can die

the biggest thing you can screw up is missing sona's ult, nothing else on her is necessarily punishing to miss

You cant really compare those two champions in diffeculity. Thay are so different from each other. With Leona is like you Said you are your teams engager and protecter. But you want them to focus you. One good engage with her can also leave your adc open. But whit sona you give your them powerfull auras that will protect and buff your team with the price to be really squishy. One miss step and you are dead. Or bad timed w power cord and adc is dead. Every champion is hard in its own way.

you can compare everything using science and facts

if x new player is your test subject and performs x well over x number of games with x champion, you then compare both samples for both champions and note the differences or lack of it. then repeat with another x player etc, it's what you call scientific data and riot stores thousands million games worth of it in their database, and some other websites do the same to a lesser extent. it's available to everyone and you can check it right now.

someone beat you to it tho https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/6hbayf/the_relative_skill_floor_difficulty_to_master_and/

Please use "science and facts" to compare an orange to a U-boat. What you are quoting is math. which is a tool for science to use but the scientific method is a bit more complicated then just comparing numbers.

cocacolalips1 votes

you can compare an orange and an u-boat just fine looking at their properties, characteristics, chemical compositions, doing various tests and what not. same stuff.

comparison is the basis of everything in life, we do it all the time for everything instinctively.

I love how you felt the need to sound off on a casual debate between two people by insulting one of them. You invoke science, and yet still haven't grasped the fundamentals of communication. That data would be much more useful if you could find a way to make people aware of it without sounding like a petulant adolescent who puffs and swells because he discovered some modicum of information that his classmates were unaware of.

cocacolalips1 votes

my comment is on topic, while yours isn't, now I wonder who lacks the skills to communicate. you can't even post a relevant comment the first time around rofl. I've edited and deleted my first sentence either way that was unnecessary indeed.

Blacephalon1 votes

looks like we have the next albert einstein here

cocacolalips1 votes

right, and the person who taught you how to tie your shoes was Mary, mother of Jesus.

pro tip: no it was your mother and she wasn't the most intelligent person on earth for knowing how to tie shoes, it's basic stuff, same here, don't blame others for your own ignorance.

Cowseed1 votes

I have to agree with the other guy. I can only reliably use her passive to deal damage. It's kinda difficult. Leona is a lot more forgiving due to being tanks with pretty good cc.

cocacolalips2 votes

pls, sona has the lowest skill floor, the lowest difficulty to master and the lowest mastery curve in the entire game

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1299T6fTssP29VqiLM3f1cl15lGT7lmm6X73D79RHKto/edit#gid=596820747

doesn't mean she has no depth whatsoever, the mastery curve is 4%, not 0%, like you said she has a passive, she still is the easiest champion in the game to pick up and do well with.

StoryDuck1 votes

Try a game of blitzcrank. You only need to understand one aspect of his kit. Q. There is nothing complex about him in anyway. Not saying Sona is all that difficult to learn but she isn't the easiest. Sona however has a bigger impact in late game which is why she tends to do better when people just pick her up. This is because she has the best scaling of any support in the game. The extra CDR she gets at 11 and 16 makes her a late game monster. Blitzcrank, on the otherhand, falls off later making it seem like he is harder to learn but in reality he's a lot easier.

cocacolalips1 votes

blitzcrank is not very high on the chart either, but still harder to pick up and play than sona, actually landing a skill shot as part of your normal rotation is harder than never having to land anything, who would have thought.

StoryDuck1 votes

I always give the easiest support reward to Blitzcrank. The only skill you need is to understand is how to hit a skillshot. This is just a thing about how he is designed. He just has so much power in that one ability that he is literally defined by it.

Dani El Pezglobo1 votes

soraka ez, not like everyone ll try to one shot u at every moment of the game , and to me stay on a whole tf at 200 isnt ez.

dats how i get 3000 orange esence, unlucky item 3070

nice table5 votes

realistically speaking it will take you 500 years to get enough essence to actually craft dj sona, at least that's why i disenchanted it.

RavenMagus5 votes

You can't actually craft it anymore since it still costs a lot of orange essence and you get practically nothing from disenchanting other skins.

Weiss Guertena2 votes

Because with butch... err, "adjusted" orange essence gain one would take few months at best of hard grind to unlock it. Hell, she is one of my favorite champions and I'd do the same too; it's just not worth the colossal amount of time required. And no, Riot, I will not give any money for lockboxes to you after you butchered their value while keeping price the same. No one sane will.

Truly Prideful3 votes

I've just been holding onto shards unless I really need the essence in case they adjust values at all.

Blacephalon2 votes

thats what im doing, no reason to disenchant orange shards when the values are clearly messed up

Well, it is their shards they can do whatever they want. Hell, what if they already have DJ Sona, or don't own her, or don't even want her? The orange essence being too small of a gain for how expensive skins are is a genuine complaint, I feel.

Terozu2 votes

He got 30dollar skin, possibly for free, and his response is: "But its not a lot of orange essence!" This entire post is basically a tempertantrum from losing (actually winning) the lottery.

Comparing an RNG skin, one of which he possibly has, doesn't really compare to winning the lottery, which can be used for anything they want basically. A skin is for one purpose; to use it. There's only one way to exchange it if it isn't of use to you, and he's saying the conversion isn't worth it. I think that's pretty fair of him to voice his own opinions. :o

lol i dont play sona so im not interested in spending 3k orange essence that i dont even have on a champ i dont play, and in the situation where i get autofilled i just play brand or xerath xD
