Why do people hate Sona?

Penta Penguin··4 votes·2,166 views

You don't like chunking people for 30% HP in lane? You don't like hard engage with Crescendo? You don't like transitioning into an AP carry mid-game while still supporting your team like a boss? You don't like snuggles?

What is wrong with you people?

snuggles tends to lead to getting womboed, so snuggles is pretty bad. And 1% per level.item 3070

Most people can't position for shit.

Sona's only survival tool is stellar positioning.

Here come the dj sona icons saying she's bad

She's not.

And I usually have my dj icon on ;~;

She's not in a bad spot, but imo she could use a rework to be more... Interactive(?) in bot lane, adding more counterplay and power. Hard to do with auras, though...

I don't use DJ Sona icon (do own though), but definitely agree: She's not bad. Is she meta, it's debatable. Trash tier? Heck nope, her near-teamwide utility is stronger than people give credit for (not to mention they SEVERELY underestimate how strong Ardent Censor is on her to the point any buffs to it benefits Sona more than any other support besides possibly Soraka.)

It's not that she is bad really, OP's post is the truth because that's all Sona can do

I remember a time where Sona could buy support items as a support and do well and feel good doing it I'm so far gone from this playstyle that I don't buy sightstone on her when I take her bot, I feel it literally weighs her down because she desperately needs AP, this doesn't transition too well when your team starts losing, because it's IMMEDIATELY the support without a sightstones fault (I will however upgrade trinket)

Go against a beast Leona player with a good ADC, and you'll see why they don't like Sona .

Soraka also falls into this.

If you are a skilled Sona/Soraka player and have a competent ADC, Leona doesn't counter you much at all (generally, that isn't the case and they are both countered by Leona.)

Leona isn't nearly as problematic to Sona as Annie . At least a good Sona can juke a good Leona. There's no juking Annie even if you're Xpecial.
