So Sona's op again...again...again...

You know, maybe it'd be easier to balance Sona for solo queue if you guys didn't make her into a half-way auto-piloted scaling monster...but since no one wants to hear about Sona requiring things like "aim" or "decision making" to succeed so she doesn't break the game with numbers over and over, I'll just post real quick on how to temporarily deal with what we have issues with right now without over-nerfing the champion, since I imagine we'll be seeing follow-up nerfs in the future, anyhow.

  • You guys removed all traces of mr from the pre-game except a few traces in the resolve tree. Then you removed bonus health from the bot lane and compensated this with...armor? Then you guys buffed Spellthief's damage a bit more? And to boot we got more starting ap? Given the fact that Sona just has to be in 850 range of you to constantly proc both STE and Aery every 8 seconds, you basically just buffed Sona's auto-targeted, no counter-play harass multiple times over by proxy.

  • Kleptomancy needs some changes. Thing churns out A LOT of gold. Maybe it could use a cd? Maybe it shouldn't drop gold drops? Maybe it shouldn't drop a free freaking skill point out of nowhere? Idk, but it needs something, and that something should translate to addressing Ezreal and GP just as much as anyone else.

  • Summon Aery could be addressed (if it's too universally good) by addressing its return speed. That way when it flies far away to enemies, it takes longer to come back, but when shielding allies, you can easily just grab her yourself (it's a girl, right?). That'll make it less stronk on offense, but it'll still have that offensive utility for champs like Sona, Karma, Morgana, and so forth.

Just a few quick notes so that way you guys don't continue gutting shit like her nearly non-existent defenses before nerfing her Q, and THEN addressing these things like we're already starting to see.

She got hotfixed and her winrate dropped. Do not use sites like champion.gg for stats as they are often slow and innacurate. Her daily winrate currently bounces around 49%-52% which is about average to good

She JUST got nerfed. You can't quote a daily win rate when it hasn't been a day.

that's why i said it bounces around, it's constantly bouncing through the 49's and 52's, which makes me believe it will stabilize soon around 50-51%, which we're used to in the current meta with this type of supports
