What the fuck are these sona nerfs

I would honestly love hear the reasoning from Riot on these nerfs. a 33% increase in cost for level one poke? Cutting the damage bonus in half? even if you factor in the bonus scaling, you need to be rocking 300+ AP on Sona (usually a support) before you see any net gain. What the hell is the Sona player suppose to do during her weakest point? Can't heavy poke since +15 mana every 9-10 seconds adds up REAL QUICK. Can't play defensive and heal with her W numbers being garbage. Can't set up kills pre 6 with her ZERO hard crowd control, even after getting ult you can still miss (or have enemy walk out of it since it has travel time).

I wouldn't even mind if it had just been the damage bonus. But why am i now punished for playing offensive? God knows you took away my ability to play defensive.

I apologize that you for some reason have an issue with Sona nerfs(she is very op), but the fact that you harshly swear in your title, I could care less to read that large paragraph you have to say. I would recommend acting more calm and making a new post with a better title and maybe you will get more people to listen. I know from personal experience.

Good luck on the Rift!

You see, her poke was becoming overbearing, so they reduced her poke.

What else do you need clarifying on?

Thing is her poke hasnt gotten any stronger since the start of preseason. But the context states she's still overbearing ever since that midpatch update.

Except they did nothing to actually address her poke in said midpatch update, so it solved nothing on that front.

It's almost like Sona was building AP and one shotting people for the majority of the last patch.

It's almost like her kit is garbage if you don't build a massive ton of AP.

Would probably be an issue if it was a skill shot that could be missed and thats damage/mana down the drain, but since she can just swing in an arc to get close enough, hit Q, and then two attacks hit bottom for a chunk of damage and you can go back safely behind minions/etc, I see the reason for this change.

Its the sacrifice for it being click and hit.

Yes, and i landed a single hard CC and she DIED. Or i watched my ADC take the hit and heal through it because it's not that massive an amount of damage
