Nerf Sona?

The Swift Yordle··6 votes·1,805 views

Why does Sona do so much dmg as a support? its literally pissing me off? She does more DMG than the enemy ADC they need to add some sort of scaling to her damage. It's clearly unabalanced and way too strong its like the old nami heal thing its complete bull shit ... if she goes ap her heals and shields need to suck.

She is really strong with short trades, but if you all in a Sona lane she just dies so quickly. She's also really vulnerable to ganks because she's immobile and squishy and bot lane is a really long lane. You really need your support to trade with you against her, or you need them to be able to all in her. If your support offers no pressure in lane it's just lost.

She has really good strengths and some awful weaknesses. She can really hit newer players hard as she's not often picked and playing against a champion that is a natural trader will always be hard in lower elos because sona players have to express less skill than you to win trades.

By natural trader I mean, has a point and click trading ability and a defensive tool that allows them to win short trades for free. Panth with Q and his passive, Nami W and Sona with Q Chord and W. There are probably some others but those are the ones I have off the top of my head.

Sona's problem isn't the fact she does damage. The problem is..... a nerf to base Healing/Shield Ratios at the end of Season 7...... made her only viable build full AP.... so now..... unlike other enchanters, her ONLY build path is mage.

It's not that she needs a nerf. It's that she needs a buff. To heals. To reduce her reliance on damage builds.

Absolutely true.

you should know that riot wont do this. Do you know why? because they dont read this stuff or fix the game at all YEP. They are waiting for the rest of these people still hooked onto the game to pour their money into it, then they will let the game die and pocket all the cash.

If you haven't read the license agreement, it states that all property of league of legends, and funding provided by those that agreed, will stay and be kept by the company riot. They wont refund what you put into the game, even if it dies. Not like wildstar did.

It might last for another 10 or 20 years but they will not be working as hard as they should and eventually everyones gonna realize how much time they put into this game and see how quickly it can be taken away.

While we at it, better nerf Bard Brand Fiddlesticks Gragas Karma Lulu Morgana Malzahar Neeko Veigar Velkoz Ziggs Zilean Zyra . They are commonly taken in support role and do as much or more damage than sona on a long range basis but hey, nerf Sona ...

Sona does too much to do so much damage. And she does it all with one button press. No thinking, not much counter play

Oh noes! That 200 damage at max rank Q with a 50% ap ratio is so much!

If she is using the full use of her Q she needs to actually think on whether or not the enemy is able to jump on her or not since she will blow up if that's the case. If you are unable to engage on her or just focus on her when she tries to Q + auto you then you will lose every single trade. In other words, playing passively against a Sona does nothing but empower her

Not to mention the fact that she literally has to build pure AP, with one of the smallest health bars in the game to achieve this damage at all.

I play Sona and if you think she have no counterplay, you are really bad at the game. Focus her for a few second and she die. She is the epitome of squishy-ness...

not much does not equal no

She does damage because she's one of the squishiest champs in the game. If you sneeze on her she dies, and she has no real escape.
