How come Sona's E doesn't function like this?

So, her Q and her W both send out notes from far away to heal/empower her allies, or damage her enemies depending on which spell is used. How come her E doesn't do that? How come for her speed buff, she has to moronically get super close to the ally that's most likely going to die anyways, then press E and end up most likely dying as well? I seriously think it should function like her Q and W and send out notes from far away that make someone move faster, and then if they manage to get in the aura, they move EVEN FASTER. Anyone else?

No, her allies need to be in the aura to be empowered. The Q sends out bolts to her enemies to damage them.

Okay, thank you for the clarification :)

I mean, it's not a terrible idea, but Sona's E isn't bad... er, the scaling doesn't feel great but the fact you need to tag allies doesn't really seem to upset me.

The way I figure it, the Q sends out two offensive bolts, the W sends out one offensive bolt, and the E doesn't send anything out. Q is more useful for the active (and passive combo) for the most part while the aura is useful, the W bolt is equally useful with the aura if you use it right, and the E is purely aura. If makes it kind of interesting, and I would rather not have all of her spells function exactly the same.

Ah I see. I'm not a massive fan of Sona as a whole; she just isn't my type of support. I was hoping to get answers from people who are much more experienced with Sona and have used her more, so thank you for your input! I can totally understand your hesitance for this type of change; I would hate to see some of my favorite champions gameplay that drastically as well. I was more just curious if this sounded like a good idea or if Sona players would want this is all. But thank you for your input regardless :)
