If games are going to be this short and damage heavy early, can Sona get some buffs?

Honestly she feels really bad to play currently. We are at a point were champions who are strong at 0-2 items are insanely powerful, and you have Sona limping around with her power "spike" needing 3-4 items to reach. Simple things would go such a long way, like i don't know maybe reducing her mana costs early so you don't risk running OOM from casting a single spell once ever 10-ish seconds... Or have to burn about 20% of your pool to heal for 20-30 health on two targets. If you want something more serious, remove the passive aspect of her Ultimate and simply reduce the cooldown on all her spells by 25%. BOOM Sona now has to manage her mana better BUT she has the tools to actually effect the early to mid game without needing 35%+ CDR and 1-2 levels of her ultimate passive.

No, her braindead kit does not need buffs, she neds a rework, shes so easy to play, stephen hawking could reach masters with her using a straw.

maybe you should play her a few game if she is "brain dead easy". but why bother actually getting first hand experience with a champ before talking...

He's the OP. Was it really that hard?

I personally think she's actually fine right now. Especially considering this metadoesnt exactly favor her, she's performing fine. If you buff her now she might start overperforming when they bring back longer games, then she'll be nerfed, and we dont want that.

Instead of asking for Sona buffs, we should be asking for longer games

She doesn't feel to bad right now but the meta is not in her favor. The meta for bot is more for mages / bruisers atm. However I think she could you some love on her HP if anything. Sup item nerfs did hurt her a bit when you couple that with the fact she has been getting nothing but nerfs in the last few patches they even named her.

I think if they were going to do any changes it would require honestly reworking her kit. While I myself admit I enjoy playing her, I feel she is clunky because of how basic her kit really is. OFC I also don't want them to give her the Karma treatment where they just take away what makes Sona, Sona.

Why do you still not get it?

Also she's one of the highest win rate supports in the game, IIRC. You have no room to buff Sona.
