Thoughts on Sona's aura changes going back and forth on PBE
I unfortunately do not have PBE access and therefore cannot post in those boards, but hopefully someone sees this.
I think that perhaps it would be cool and aid in clarity of her opponents and herself to actually have the first aura cast in a power chord combo to be small, the next one create a bigger aura, and the third (and thereafter) be at live values or something. When she fires off a power chord attack then the next aura goes to the minimum value and builds up again.
This would give the effect of her playing sounds that get louder and louder until she can fire her power chord, allows enemies to see when she has it (because right now it's absurdly difficult), reminds her that she has it (which allows more novice Sona players to actually remember to use 3rd W or E when needed in the heat of battle instead of just hitting them all, then q and autoing to be safe). This would also give her a small penalty for throwing the power chords out all willy nilly without needing to cripple her values or cooldowns.
Feel free, everyone, to tell me how terrible the idea is. I know how this goes =P
