Can we actually discuss the upcoming Sona Nerfs?

Now, despite being a person who absolutely adores playing Sona, I know she's in need of nerfs (those arent mutually exclusive either for all you little salty 'i hate sona players' people)- Namely her ult CDR passive- but I disagree with the direction of her E. But I'll touch on the passive first.

Her ult passive makes her EXTREMELY valuable mid and late game due to the sheer utility upgrade she's gotten. Instead of doing something every 6-7 seconds and doing nothing much between, she's now doing something every 2-3 seconds- which is a massive buff. Now, that's great and all, but I acknowledged immediately that she may be doing too much in a short span of time. Solution? reduce the internal CDR so she has slightly larger windows of downtime, but not enough where it feels like your helpless. good idea. although I might have lowered the total to 10/20/30 instead of the current iteration.

Now, for her E. This is where I see a discrepancy. Why lower the base speed? that's not the problem. I can even agree with nerfing the ratio a bit so you can't get so much speed. Why not lower the duration by 2 seconds so it's five seconds instead of seven? The duration and the ratio are the problem, not the base. I put points into it earlier now, instead of leveling it up once at 4 or 7 and finishing it at the last 4 levels. This change will not help sona, and it's gonna go back to solidifying it as a one point wonder. Nobody wants that.
