Sona Role

I have been playing a lot with sona , and the things i have noticed is that she is good at everything at same time bad at that aswell , early game all her skills are far to weak , and late game they get ONLY powerfull if u buy AP. So i had this idea on reworking her skills scaling in that way giving her abil;ty to choise her role in game , and it would be also unique : First Her Q: Hymn of valor Its dmg abilty that has pretty long CD and low range, and early game it does not provide much dmg as well, i tihnk it should be a bit rebalanced into having bigger dmg early game and about same dmg late game, cause it should feel rewarding to hit your Q fully in early game . Scales with AP! W: Aria of perseverance : The healing uses far to much Mana early game , and is not that strong even if it gives shield it does not heal to much early , just big waste of mana if ur using it as healing, however if u focus playing sona in huge support role this skill is really essencial so i had this idea of making her scale with eather bonus heal or MANA REG, cause lots of supp items focuses on those 2 , also in that way your healings will be op , but sona wont provide MUCH dmg with limited ap+ MREG items E Song of celerity : early game i dont think its even worth taking the skill , but i still take it just in case , its a bit to weak, however i do not it makes whole team go faster, so why not increase its speed the less people there are like : SOng of celerity gives MOv speed boost of 50% to her allies this bonus is deacresed by 15% for each allied champion hittng the aura: also i am nto sure with what it should scale R. I think the passive side of this should change and instead of giving FLAT BONUS give her SCALING BONUS!!! that way she has to choise ONE O THE SCALING STAT TO FOCUS ON ONe role INSTEAD OF BEING GOOD AT ALL AND BAD AT ALL AT SAME TIME!!!

SORRY FOR MISTAKES NOT AN ENGLISH NATIVE!!!! Give me out your mind here :)

Q hits like a fucking truck early game. You need to spend the proc and not just dance around pressing Q. The main reason why it doesn't feel so rewarding atm is that other supports are so beefy so it doesn't seem like much.

W is extremely mana inefficient - Nami gives more HP to ONE person for less mana (with the possibility of either dealing dmg to an enemy and healing another person, or damaging two enemies). Rank 5 W costs 100 mana which is an absolute ABERRATION. 100 mana is the cost of Sona and Janna's ultimates - are they seriously telling us that her small heal + tiny AoE shield is worth as much as Crescendo or Monsoon? The thing with W is that it's balanced around Sona having 300-400 AP (not very frequent), max CDR and infinite mana from items as well as tagging everybody with it constantly. Sona is balanced around her absolute best case scenario so she feels underwhelming when you aren't there.

E is imo worth taking at lvl 4 for faster passive procs and to enable Tempo which is her only pre-6 CC. Your suggestion effectively PUNISHES Sona for successfully tagging her whole team, and it punishes Sona's team for working with her. Imo either lower the CD, or make it scale better with levels - one flippin' percent per point invested into it seems like a joke. The buff to teammates could serve to last longer, it could last for as long as they stay in the aura for instance. The self-buff is nice especially with AP, it helps an otherwise slow champion get around the map and dart through the battlefield to apply her auras quickly.

R I don't understand what you are talking about. But imo her ult CD should be shorter, when you look at other AoE stuns in the game.

As for her being good at many things but not being an expert at anything, that's her identity - that's her niche. She may not be the optimal choice for your comp but she can never truly be a bad choice because she offers so many different things, so it's a great thing in solo queue, or if you're picking your support early, etc. If you want a specialist, go pick any other support.
