To top if off I believe she has the highest win rate in ARAM. I do consider her one of the most broken champion in ARAM and would love to see something done to her in there. Or maybe just nerf healing (and sheilding) a little more in ARAM since there are other champions that are extremely annoying to face like Soraka ..then again, I'd face Soraka over Sona any day in ARAM.

The other champion I hate to death in ARAM and would almost consider the most broken champion would actually be Veigar . Might just be salty for hating him but him being able to stack extremely well just by hitting champions really well, and the fact that his stun field covers 2/3 the lane. He may be balanced in SR since you can flank/ambush him but you can't do that in howling abyss, its just run straight into him and his cage...

I'd blame a lot of the problem with Soraka on Warmog's since it negates the price of her healing once she gets enough items. Not all healers are imbalanced, Nami 's heal would be useless if it was any weaker on ARAM, it's the non stop heal spammers that are aggravating.

Yea that's true, I don't really have any problems with Nami or some of the other smaller healers like Bard . It's really just Sona and Soraka.

If I have to say why then I guess you don't play aram.

She is a teamfight oreiented support with a heavy reliance on items to do her job.

Now put her on a game mode where she is in a constant 5v5 and has equal gold generation with the rest of her team.

It is literally a case of a champ being in a situation where they are strong(like a team engaging on a Illaoi / Zyra when they have their ult up and their the max amount of tentacles/seeds set up, they will destroy you, and it will be a quick death for your entire team. Which makes them seem op), except constantly.

In ARAM she's capable of just building mana items and because of the mana regen aura on ARAM she can spam her W off CD without repercussion. This leads to her not only being able to heal her team non stop but in an engage she can constantly apply an aoe shield.

This is not to say it's impossible to beat her in ARAM but she's not only incredibly frustrating but far too good at both all ins and poke.

While I don't play ARAM (Cause its trash), a map specific nerf would make Sona inconsistent, because you have to fluctuate between two different mana costs on two different maps. I know ARAM gives you double stacks on Nasus and Thresh, but its not that big, as theres only one lane so they really need it. [sg-lulu]

Except there's already lots of map specific changes to champs.

Dont forget every single melee champ has increased MR

MinardeOct 23, 20171 votes

Plus Taliyah, Mordekaiser, Garen, Shyvana, and Gangplank.

What's different about Veigar though? I don't recall any changes for him.

Sona...Ha.

Increase the mana cost of Ziggs, Ezreal, and Nidalee first.

if were gonna balance aram, then wed have to start by disabling twitch and kog. literally auto win, its physically impossible to lose with either two.
