Please give Sona more buffs
Yes i know she is getting the speed buff.
Let's be honest here. The average game is 30 mins or less. Sona is going to spend the first 20 mins, being a bad support pick. By bad i mean she is 31st out of 36 "support" champions, 13-17 of those champions are champions from other roles who just happen to have kits that work for support. She doesn't do enough damage to pressure a lane, her mana costs are so high you can't sustain a lane till you get your 3rd full built item, she doesn't have any tools to set up kills for her allies, and her "buffs" are single use TINY things with no meaningful impact.
I get it, back when "fast" games tended to go to 35 mins, it was fine to have a champion not really do much for the first 15-20 mins. But games are faster now, out of the 36 "support" champions only 2 other champion lacks a hard CC before level 6 (
,
) and only 3 have hard to use CC (
,
,
). 90% of the support champions have hard CC that is "easy" to use. Basically every enchanter support that has come out since Sona's rework 7 years ago has had similar aspects of her kit built into theirs, but ALL of them have been better versions.
can literally trigger all 3 aspects of Sona's kit off one point and click spell.
's heal is also a MS boost, he passively gains a slow and cone auto attack.
grants movement speed and untargetable to allies around her, has a strong damage and heal spell on a single ability.
has an aoe heal, and shield her can give to allies, he also has a hard engage and disengage tool. ALL of these champions also have a stun/root/knock up in their pre 6 kit.
is the only new champion without the pre-6 stun, but she gets the benefit of being 1000% untargetable if she chooses.
Just give Sona the ability to effect the game, without needing 3K-8K gold worth of items AND being level 11. Games no longer go long enough for her to play out the "late game power fantasy" that she use to have. So let's just give her an early game where if you outplay your opponents you can win the lane. The buff doesn't need to be her doing 100-200% more damage, it could be something simple like making her buffs 500% more important.
