Something that has been bugging me is that this new champion, Bard, is Sona 2.0.

He has a better AoE movement effect, a longer stun on a shorter cooldown, a better heal and his passive actually does something compared to Sona's Powerchord which feels like a sneeze.

Zilean now has a stun, better nerf sona!

Welp I can't believe how true this is;

Sona is outclassed by most supports, Morgana, Annie, Zyra, and now even Zilean. And his only cc was his slow, yet he's being rewarded for using his only damaging ability, wich is a good thing. But Sona don't recieves anything. Honestly it feels like that she got nerfed for nothing. She feels plain, harder to play well now and is forced to spam her Q all the time to actually have a stronger impact in the game.

Hate to break your circlejerk, but... As a sona player, I don't feel that she needs a stun. Her early-game strength lies is her poke and sustain, and good mobility for moving around the map to ward and what not. I think if you added a pre-6 hard-cc, she would become way too powerful. I'm actually quite happy with her current state, although a slight buff to her stats wouldn't hurt. :)

Sure a stun would be nice, but a good Sona player can still be very useful, especially if you build utility over the meta damage build If you give sona another stun, you will be opening up the gates for people to whine (yet again) about how strong she is. Stop trying to make every champion the same. Let them specialize in different things, please.

If fiddlesticks walks into your lane, presses Q on your adc, the presses w on your adc,

there is nothing you can do as any of these champions to stop the drain channel.

You could also include Kayle Lux Orianna Nidalee Ashe as part of this list (assuming you count any of these dudes as supports)

In practice, support Veigar won't anymore.

I made this suggestion on another thread:

[{quoted}](name=Emmy Cha0s,realm=NA,application-id=3ErqAdtq,discussion-id=Is5dKpVZ,comment-id=0005,timestamp=2015-03-13T02:43:59.903+0000)

I'd like to expand more on that idea of song-weaving with my own take of it.

  • Encore: Once Power Chord is active, in addition to the passive based on Sona's most recent spell, casting a 4th and 5th spell different from the ones already cast will apply additional CC to Power Chord. This includes the spell that activated Power Chord, a second different spell cast after reaching 3 stacks and then the 3rd spell for the final effect.
    • Blue+Green: Power Chord will silence Sona's target.
    • Blue+Purple: Power Chord will root Sona's target; if Tempo is applied, they will be slowed for half the duration afterwards.
    • Green+Purple: Sona's target will be unable to perform basic attack actions.
    • All 3: The target will be stunned and forced to dance; if cast using Diminuendo or Tempo, their effects will apply for half of their duration after the stun ends.

It's a bit complex and is definitely up for tweaks and changes, but it essentially gives her a stun at 5 charges to finally put her on-par with other supports. Mind you this only solves one issue with Sona and that issue being an already pre-existing one. As a champion, she'll still remain unplayable until she gets a usable kit or a full revert to the gutting she received in the 4.13 patch.

His Q already needs fixing the sticky radius is garbage its almost impossible to double stack bombs because its sticking to minions and all the enemy champ has to do is side step just a little and he is out of the radius because the stick seems to have lag to it. i wish i were recording the match i just had, i had two bombs right on top of each other, and a Nid ran right over both and only one stuck before she jumped out of there lol. also lol if your teammate is around the radius and the enemy is there too it will stick to your ally over the enemy.

I'm fine with the fact that Sona has no hard cc pre-6. Imo she's not that underpowered; the only tweaking she could use it her W. Give the shield a %missing health ratio (.5 so it makes up for that nerf a few patches ago), and raise the base debuff to 30%. Riot said they wanted her other powerchords to get more use; instead of nerfing stacatto (seriously what), buff Diminuendo and Tempo.

Slushi Simcambi2/26/2015, 4:58:55 AM1 votes

Look the real problem with Sona is the burst from q and empowered q is cray and Riot hates that.

Sure. Sure.

So shift her power to other abilities. Her e is kinda crap, nobody levels it and while it is useful in teamfights it really takes a backseat most of the game. What if it provided some other sort of boost say... Attack speed or something??' Or maybe the radius grows with the level?

The point is, take the power out of her q/powerchord q and TRANSFER it instead of outright nerfing her. Refocus her, don't gut her.

And fix her heal while you are at it, the thing is terrible.

SAVE Sona 2015!!

lets ignore how gamechanging her stun is though

Also, wanna see how many matches are won pre-6
