There you have it, the most common comparison of them all. Sona vs. the champ that **LITERALLY **replaced her in the meta, after the Support Class Update in patch 3.14.

So what? Two of her abilities are skillshots. You have to aim to hit someone. Sona is entirely auto targeted and comes up more often than Nami's entire kit.

Sona can use her ability 3 times and nami will use it 2 times.

Sona's damage is applied instantly (provided she has her 3 spells used before) All she has to do is Q-Auto and that damage is instantly taken without any counterplay besides for "Don't get close to her" which is always a stupid argument imo.

Yes Nami can do more damage overall but she can miss some of her abilities...Well mainly Q since even though her ult is technically a skill shot, it's not really something that you'd miss but it can be dodged with flash or mobility though at least. Then there is her E which while it can't be dodged, it's still reliant on auto attacks so its not as instant as Q-Auto.

Plus with Sona having less CD in her abilities, she has a bit more options as a fights drags on, where Nami might be caught just walking around for a decent part of fights waiting on CDs. That's also not counting how much she can offer her team with her shields, yes she only heals herself and 1 person and the shield is weak but that could apply to the entire team where Nami just heals at most 2 people for a decent amount and even that requires an enemy to even do.
