Meddler threatens to delete Sona (long post)

@Meddler @Riot. Respond please.

Many people have been asking about Sona and her rework/buffs. Just like Cass and other champions, Riot has been beating around the bush and not giving us straight answers, and ignoring our favorite mages in turn to please the LC$BIGPLAYS people and the championship divisions. Here is what Meddler finally told us after months of ignoring:

"There might also be room for some small QoL or buffs, and I expect Sona will be discussed again internally after preseason follow up's on a good track (though I'm personally doubtful we've got much power to work with and simply buffing Sona until she feels good's going to set her up for a nerf)."

In response to this, I found a summoner, Pika310, who responded to Meddler, and claims that Riot wants to delete Sona from the game:

"Meddler has already publicly stated that Rito doesn't want Sona to exist in their game anymore. They know she's the weakest support and he's openly threatened that if this ever changes, they will immediately hammer her in the back of the head with yet more nerfs(again.)"

(http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/4JTMeLvw-sona-w-buff-proposal)

Another summoner responded to Pika, saying that they never recalled Meddler threatening to do that. "Um... I don't really see where he said that they don't want Sona to exist anymore, that she's the weakest support. He just said that she got stronger with the changes and if she did get more changes they would be nerfs because she doesn't need buffs. ANd, well looking at her statistics, Sona... doesn't really need buffs right now." (Same cite as above)

Pika replied in significant detail: "Such is the blind Rito-worshipping of a bleating sheep. Here, I'll help break things down and translate:

It's common knowledge Sona is the weakest support, if not the weakest character in the entire game. She is numerically or mathematically either the worst or 2nd-worst in every individual stat and this adds up to a champ that more likely than not has the absolute lowest amount of spent power budget of all 129 characters. Rito knows this, but they intentionally made her this way out of hatred.

Rito's hatred of Sona is clear for countless visible reasons: She's never received a true buff in the entire history of the game. Even when other characters receive standardization or compensations, they refuse to give them to her until more than a year later if ever. Fearless made COUNTLESS promises to Sona fans and broke every single one of them, then was immediately promoted for a failed rework that failed to do anything more than gut a champ into oblivion and incur severe anger from their playerbase. Rito refuses to objectively discuss Sona, they blatantly ignored every Sona thread within something like a 10-month timespan. Every time a community-wide demand for Sona buffs has risen, Rito decides on repeatedly nerfing her instead. On the off-chance a Ritoer doesn't comment on a Sona thread, they repeat the exact same lies and hotword propaganda every single time, completely ignoring the OP, comments or replies and refusing to stick around or check back in for discussion.

Even Rito's skins team intentionally downgraded ALL of her skins in an attempt to sell more copies of DJ because they realize 4.13 severely negatively impacted the sales on it. Considering this and also considering the return on ultimate skins in general is very low, they even gave it the lowest release-price reduction of any ultimate skin to date, otherwise its profits were guaranteed to stay in the red, which they probably still are regardless.

Moving on to translating Meddler's post: he has access to data in the game, he knows as well as anyone else that the mastery changes affected Sona THE LEAST out of any support champ. These masteries' impact are directly affected by a champ's own base stats and scalings, of which as I previously stated Sona is either 1st or 2nd lowest in every single one of these numbers. He intentionally brought up the changes specifically and lied about them, because he knew it would be the easiest thing for the bleating sheep of these forums to manipulate and help continue nurturing players to hate Sona in the same way Rito does.

Stating that Rito intends to nerf Sona has a dual-purpose: he knows as a Ritoer that bleating sheep will blindly listen to his words and draw their own misleading assumptions assuming that their false deity has sincere intentions, when in truth they are 100% bigoted. Secondly, it's meant as a threat to intimidate Sona advocates from continuing to demand Rito set aside their hatred and discrimination to make her playable again. Rito's hatred of Sona is very deep-seated and they have no intention of sacrificing their arrogance to admit they screwed up, especially to say that they did so on purpose, all for a champion that they are very likely to eventually remove from THEIR game. Yes, I said "THEIR" game because the "balance" team believes it's their own personal plaything to manipulate as they see fit and we the players are only PERMITTED to play it."

(My post/thoughts): So, even if Meddler comments on this thread to lie or refute these claims, the proof is there about the bias hatred towards Sona, and other champions alike. It's about time Riot stops beating around the bush and help the champs that actually need it, and actually do something after they listen to us, instead of lying and ignoring.

Fellow Summoners, you can think what you want. All I ask, is to stand up with us and help get Riot to not remove one of the most fun and interesting mage/support in the game, and actually buff her for once. Maybe if Meddler/other Rioters actually listen and do something to help, the more happy the playerbase will be.

TL/DR: Long story short, Meddler and Riot has constantly lied to us and ignored the playerbase's suggestions for Sona. They have never buffed her, and constantly nerf. Some of you may think she is not weak, but in reality, she is.

So, Meddler, I challenge you to respond. Tell us why you ignore us, why you constantly nerf champions to the dirt, why you promise over and over again but never follow up with your claims.

EDIT: Sona haters/people who like to negatively comment and abuse others-don't post on my thread. It is not necessary and is unsportsmanlike. You will get downvoted and reported.

Also, stop with the downvotes on my post. It's also unnecessary and downright rude.

EDIT: I seriously hate the people on here. Downvote and attack for no reason. I am challenging Meddler to respond, not all of you. Pika has decent evidence on the bias towards Sona, and why I used her/his words is because they speak truth. You want numbers? Here you go.

Sona has the weakest heal in the game ( Champion.gg):

Sona heal: 9582.8 Nami heal: 10902.44 Taric heal: 13404.53 Soraka heal: 22992.86

One of the lowest play rates (besides Taric):

Sona: 6.37% Nami: 7.09% Soraka: 8.49%

Weakest shield in the game:

Sona: 35/55/75/90/115 (+20% AP)(+10/20/40) Janna: 80/100/160/200/240 (+70%AP) And many more, all of better shields: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Shield

I will not go into any more detail now. Sona is one of the weakest supports in the game. It's about time something is changed.

FINAL EDIT: Criticizing my post is being rude and abusive. Downvoting everything I say is downright rude. Saying I don't know anything about Sona is the definition of being a rude person. Calling me a whiny child, a nonsensical ranty person, or any other thing is mean. I am posting about one of my favorite champions and all of you are attacking me for no good reason other than to help yourself feel better by putting someone down. I have defended myself from your words, and have not tried to harm people like all of you have, save for a few. There are so many other posts that provide TONS of numbers, statistics, etc. I am simply just providing some people's opinions about Meddler to show that there are people out there that think this is true so more are educated and can see that Riot does these kinds of things. I don't need numbers for this kind of thing because I wanted people to agree with Pika and me, not say "Oh where's the facts? You're stupid and have no brain."

I am astounded at the hostility of this community, and downright ashamed of all of you.

-100 votes. Ridiculous.
