SONA on ARAM - Healing nerfs

I've played plenty of ARAM games since it started. And my number one fear is a Sona on the other team. We've probably all played against one and we probably all played as one. But most of the time you find yourself against one because everyone has her (ip/rp cost wise) and its one of the most toxic champs to play against.

Her Heal is the number one concern. Even though the map is 50% healing for allies it really feels she is fuelling trucks considering how much cd she can stack and ap. She heals faster than Soraka,Janna,Nami. And after her first sustain item your team is going to lose if you dont got like all 3. And even then her passive is going to kill them.

Her passive hurts like a truck, and its an auto attack and it can hit towers. The amount of times she can get her passive up and just hit you makes you feel dread.

Please Nerf SONA on ARAM because its not fun. like give her 15-25% heal or 15%-25% heal on aram.

Yasuo Katarina Fizz Soraka Blitzcrank Lux just some examples that are more annoying to deal with.

Soraka later in the games heals a lot faster than Sona does and heals much more than she does. She isn't as squishy either if she builds health/tank.

Sona is incredibly easy to kill if you have a team that can focus her.

Unfortunately, as mentioned in the 7.1 patch notes and reiterated by ManWolfAxeBoss a week ago, Riot doesn't do map-specific balancing anymore. Buffs to weak abilities (e.g. Bard, Gangplank, Nasus) are one thing, but nerfs don't seem likely. Feel free to bug Riot about it (possibly via Ask Riot or the Boards) in hopes of getting them to change their mind.

I have to agree. Anytime I get Sona in ARAM, i'm pretty happy about it knowing it's basically a free win. I'll play it pretty safe until I have enough gold for Ardent Censor, once dying and buying that, it's really just a matter of picking up an Athene's and ending the game. If for some reason that doesn't push things over, Grabbing Redemption will. If my team isn't playing so hot, Lich Bane in place of Redemption and just do all the killing yourself.

Just watch your positioning and abuse Ardent Censor lol. As long as your staying aware of your positioning and respecting the other teams kits, you can basically roll your face on the keyboard and win.
