I would like some "smart" buffs on Sona who encourages players to poke and play more aggresive

Hello, we all know that Sona isn't really what we can call a "skilled champ". Her winrate was one of the best in the game and we didn't know why she has this kind of winrate because actually the champ isn't "extraordinary.

I mean you press Q, you try to have the most teammates in your Q zone to proc dmg, you do the same thing with W and E and when you need, you press R.

Sona gameplay is actually "no brain" and don't reward any skill.

The thing is that you are supposed to poke with your Q and with your auto empovered by Q + your passive. But Sona is so squishy... Why would you try to poke your opponent when you can die easilly ? By the way your Q deal 50% AP to 2 enemy champ without the autos, so you aren't encouraged to take risks. It's not worth trying to poke with your auto with Sona. She is mostly a teamfight champion with her auras. Your goal is to hit the most teammates you can with your auras. That why you can do nothing in laning phase and still be "Op" in teamfight.

I would like Sona to be rewarded if she try to put the empowered auto and make her takes more risks in laning phase.

Q : Hymn of Valor :

**Actual Active : ** _Sona sends out two bolts of sound that deal magic damage to the nearest enemies, prioritizing champions. This abilitie deals 40 / 70 / 100 / 130 / 160 (+ 50% AP) _

I would suggest to nerf the dmg to 20/40/60/80/100 + 25% AP

Aura (Auto attack bonus ) Sona and tagged allied champions deal bonus magic damage on their next basic attack within 3 seconds. Deals 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (+ 20% AP)

I would suggest to revert the nerf and put it back to 20/25/30/35/40 + 20% AP

And make something like this : Sona empovered attack will do 60/75/90/105/120 + 60% AP total magic dmg instead of doing 20/25/30/35/40 + 20% AP but it's only Sona, her teammates will still have the normal dmg from the aura.

Power chord : _Staccato deals 28-336 (based on level) + 28% AP) total magic dmg. _

Nerf the base dmg and UP the ratio, it's will be more fair. If you buy Ap, you will have more dmg. If you don't go Ap, then you will have less.

Make Staccato deals 13/26/39/52/65/78/81/94/107/120/133/146/159/172/185/198/211/224 + 58% AP) total magic dmg

Base dmg nerf but AP ratio buffed, so people who wants to play Sona full AP with item 3100 will enjoy more their games because they will do more dmg.

Sona won't be broken because she will have to place her autos to win the laning phase which reward poking and i think it's better than sit and wait under tower. Her gameplay will be better.

Do you agree with me ? Sona needs loves.

Let's make the kind, gentle enchanter Sona into a more aggressive poke-harasser. I think you're missing the idea of this Champion.

Lux is kind too, yet if you take her combo, it's hurt.

I don't know where i'am missing the idea of the champion, Sona is supposed to harrass people in lane and poke, yet she don't really do it because all she has to do is to wait teamfight and press spells.

I want to encourage people to play more aggresive with Sona, and make her less brainless. People will have to do more than just press Q, they will have to do the auto to make the full dmg of the spell.

It's normal to reward champs for playing aggresive if they do it correctly. Actually the dmg on Sona Q aura auto are too low to be interesting to place in lane. You better press Q and back without using the auto. But it's stupid, because it's mean you don't use 100% of the spell.

I'm going to disagree with you here. Sona is supposed to be a support who offers healing, speed, and damage boosts for her team, as well as an ultimate that works as peel or an engage.

Believe it or not, that's largely what Sona has always done in most iterations of the champ.

More on topic: You can't buff Sona's damage that much because that'll push her over the edge as a carry. Sucks because Sona as a support is, and has always been, lacking.

Please NO.

Either rework her into an actual champion and not an aura bot. Or her numbers are actually perfect atm. Her winrates aren't even bad(50,8% in plat+ for a faceroll champion). And your ideas are all straight up buffs.

How to break a champion for no reason whatsoever. Love how you complain about her being squishy yet do absolutely nothing about it.
