Sona rework has destroyed Sona.
Now. I'm going to be completely clear. I only played twelve games as old Sona before her rework. So this isn't going to be about "Statistics" or "What type of role she is". No. This, is about Sona, the maven of the strings. The fact is, I don't care if she was nerfed, I don't care if she was buffed, what I care is when the nerfs or buffs affect the outline of what that character is supposed to be.
For example, Sona. Before the rework, Sona was EXACTLY what she was supposed to be, A beautiful prodigy of a mystical instrument that in her hands could masterfully conduct the emotions of others, and each battle was an epic composure in the making in which she had no fear of mistakes. The composure influenced the battle itself as it was written.
But the rework happened... and Sona fell from that. Now, instead of a prodigy, she's more like those people in band class who struggle to play the scales. Instead of conducting her ally's emotions, she now gives them hope that she practiced for one second before they realize it's the same old song. Half of the song she's too afraid to play effectively and thus nothing but 100's of counts of rest. She isn't proud enough to play her instrument loud enough for others to hear unless they're right near her. And her epic composure is Failing at playing a song they know. Her allies can only enjoy it they're all together and really just ignoring her.
So now, instead of an epic being composed, it's a 7th grade D- band student failing at a playing test for not playing until what little music she actually knows. While the old Sona was one to speak through the etwahl, the new Sona does not fit the image at all. She's... quiet compared to her past self. Too quiet. This is why I dislike the new "Sona".... because it's no longer an epic musician... it's someone else trying to replace them.
So, comment away. I may have screwed up in describing this whole thing... The thing is, this has a deeper meaning behind it than if she's playable or not, if she's good or bad, or the fact of how the new stuff is more "Fun". so ask for clarification on any parts you don't understand. Or ask me about something I didn't account for. Also, please make some good points, I may fight back with my own views, but that's what I do to get the center of someones opinion. Thanks.
