Rework Sona

ItsOrval·Feb 22, 2017·3 votes·356 views

I like her playstyle, but she just feels like a mix between 4 champions but a weaker version. It doesnt work too well because you could just play that one champion with the ability and be more useful.

Q: 's E W: 's W E: 's W R: 's R

Each of these are almost the same as the original champion's ability, but much weaker. Its weaker because it spreads to a group of teammates rather than just one. Which makes the ability almost useless. I need a sona to W me 6 times to heal me to full health (which is usually only 1700 health). I feel like they should rework her abilities a bit to make her more unique rather than just being a weaker version of other champs in one.

Note: Was tired when I wrote this, this post may have not come off as I attended it to.

You're strange.

Sona's Q is a double targeted attack spell with a onetime AA boost intended for maximal power in teamfights. Janna's E is a long lasting AD boosting shield. Designed to protect one single carry.

Sona's W is a two-people (includes Sona) healing spell that promotes smart timing with a short-lived shield. Again, maximized use in teamfights. Soraka's W is a single target spell powerful heal that costs health to cast. Designed to protect one single carry.

Sona's E is a teamfight oriented AoE MS boost. Lulu's E is a single target MS AND AS boost. Also doubles down as one of the most powerful CC in the game when cast on enemies.

Sona's R is a large Skillshot stun. Provides CDR to all other skills. Amumu's R is a large self-centered AoE root.

Every single one of those is mechanically so different from what you compare them to that it essentially makes your entire point moot. Comparing a shield with an attack? Comparing a healing spell to a heal+shield spell? Comparing a spell that can be CC, and buffs two stats instead of one to a simple MS boost? Comparing a Stun ultimate to a Root ultimate? Not to mention, the entire point of Sona is to be good at teamfighting whereas most other supports merely need to help one carry.
