Sona Buffs Please XD

Let's buff Sona please.

I don't know what you need to do or hear to make you think its okay to buff Sona but please god make her less squishy or be able to fight any of the best supports around. I understand that her poke is annoying really I do but that doesn't mean she deserves to be gutted or her base health and move speed reduced. She literally does nothing now besides her poke and her ult. Idk what I want, I just want to be useful to my team again I want Season 2 Sona back, I want my Auras that gave my adc AD/AP Armor/Magic Resist and Move speed back. I know the auras wont come back but we have got to do something she is being gutted over and over. Save Sona 2015

At the very least return the %missing health ratio on W back to 1:1 instead of .5:1

You know, so I can at least feel useful when I try to build utility instead of having to build assloads (p̶u̶l̶l̶ ̶o̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶d̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶s̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶o̶ ̶f̶a̶t̶) of AP just to actually heal someone.

I would love to have more power in her utility skills, even if it meant giving up poking potential. I often feel that I have no feasible option but to maximize my Q first in-lane because my utility is too poor to justify missing out on the Q damage. It encourages a playstyle that many people, including Riot, have identified as unhealthy, and simply makes her less interesting to play. More than anything, I would just like options rather than always playing a glass cannon with some decorative utility.

I agree, at least her heal needs a buff... it costs a lot more mana than her other chords and heals for a ridiculously low ammount... her movement speed buff is decent and her poke is still nice. her ult maybe needs to have a wider hit path. i have had entire team fights go bad because i can only hit maybe 2 champs with that ult while theres champs like amumu and galio able to ult the entire enemy team running around. I felt like her original ult had a good hit box.

Her numbers are all SO SMALL. I swear, if you doubled ALL her numbers, she would be only a little overtuned. Now, if you doubled all of THRESH'S NUMBERS, WELCOME TA HELL

She is so slow and is so squishy. I have no idea how you are supposed to use this champion anymore. She is just too slow and squishy. If she enters combat and is targeted... she is in for a bad time... She felt bad even before all the nerfs... now she just feels unplayable.

Champions usually have a particular strength and weakness, but compared to other supports right now, Sona's just weak. She has the right stuff in her kit but they have no real impact anymore, plus she's suuuuuper squishy.

"I want my Auras that gave my adc AD/AP Armor/Magic Resist and Move speed back."

This needs to be a thing I don't even know when and how much I want to emphasis on this.

Seems like there are people who would like to see sona in a better state. Or rather a lot of people. Use this thread as a starting point to organize something: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/jLGvQ3Wk-before-you-make-a-post-about-balance

Also begin asking yourself what you want to see better, what is her identity, what should she pay for those changes, what strategic choice do I make when picking sona.

This is just to start you all up since I there are too many qq threads without any of them promoting discussion. I am not a sona main myself but I do like her teamfight aspect that her w gives her.

Sona was pretty strong at the time they nerfed her (Not saying they should.) the reason riot nerfed her was not due to her strength however. In fact, she was a case like talon, a strong low counterplay champion that noone picked so riot didn't touch them until they became popular. But she didn't become popular, it was in fact a preemptive nerf before her DJ Sona skin came out so that when people bought it and started to actually play her people wouldn't be crying, "QQ omg sona so power, plis nerf rito." They would be calling either for buffs if she was still weak after she got picked up by a lot of people, or she would be found to be strong enough to compete and receive no buffs nor nerfs. I assume she will gain some slight buffs though after DJ sona is released.

I play A LOT of Sona and while she does have a few weaknesses, isn't that healthy for champions? Also, I don't know why people say she is so immobile considering the only ability she has to stand still to cast is her ultimate... every other ability she can cast on the move. While I do agree her "W" could use a buff for scaling, her Q followed up by a power chord hits very hard and can really chunk someone in bot lane. Even though she is weaker than "July 2014" Sona I still feel like she is a great pick depending on the situation.

Enemy picks Janna/Morgana/Nami well I am totally going Sona (or Leona if I want to be mean) for that sweet, sweet sweet poke. Also, about the nerfs, even though it sucks she is getting nerfed, at least that means Riot is paying attention to her versus other champions ( DrMundo Gangplank Heimerdinger Mordekaiser Urgot ) so that means if Riot really feels she has fallen off, then she might get buffed. Gotta have faith!

Sona's kit seems to be in a good spot, as now it is more reliant on timing to be effective the to be a mindless walking buff. I think the best thing to do for her now would be to increase the power on her shield so now timing is key to makximizing her utility. I also the radius on her auras need to be slightly increased as well, not for the damage portion of the Q projectile, but so more of her teamates can take advantage of them. Finally, since her ultimate makes her basic abilities more powerful, I think they should really make that a key component to her power, since right now it feels pretty sub-par compared to her base stats.

So, a simple way to make Sona more viable:

Increase her shield's values (either base or ratio)
Increase the radius on her auras
Increase the bonus stats provided from her ultimate (maybe solve change 1 at the same time with this buff).

This way, her effectiveness will scale better into the game and keep her from just being an annoying lane bully.
