Sona rework should of never happened

Why can you make a perfectly fine and balanced champion useless that is almost never played anymore but leave in meta champs that do need balanced changes alone. And in the patch rundown you said that "We want her to still feel like Sona" the only thing that still feels like before is her ult and w her q is so useless and with the new aura range you need the team to be clumped up witch means malphite wukong and anyone with an aoe ability is praying to have an enemy Sona and also after she ults in team fights she can almost do nothign unless she is within 1 inch of a carry making it easy to pick off 2 champs at once for some assassins and tanks. Bottom line is don't even try to fix the rework just revert it and leave it at buffing her w heal and speed boost amount on original Sona if you agree or disagree feel free to comment and thanks for reading.

I will agree Sona's new kit is severely underpowered compared to her old one. This doesn't necessarily mean they need to revert, just fixing the way she is now will suffice. Her (non)aura range could use another 150 points, even then it would still be as small as Lucian or Sivir. Hymn's on-hit needs to trigger off abilities(with lower rate for AoE) and its base needs to increase exponentially per-rank, rather than linearly: 20/35/55/80/110. Contrastly, Aria's heal needs to remain linear, but needs smaller increases keeping rank 3 where it is: 35/50/65/80/95. This would sadly mean further trade-off at rank 5 just to make it viable in-lane. I'm not sure where to start with Celerity, this ability is a complete mess. Leave Crescendo's new passive where it is, it helps her transition into the late-game.

Even after all of that, there are other issues that will still probably need answering: the Staccato nerf, CDs on Aria/Celerity and shield duration. Having said my peace, 40% CDR will still be mandatory in 100% of games.

Guess what, her winrate went up, same with popularity. Id love to see some buffs to her, but the way you put it I dont think any buffs will make you change your mind

What? A champ that just got reworked is seeing increased play? You don't say! Wow, I've got to thank you sincerely for that information, Cpt. Obvious.
