Great job Riot, you hard nerfed Sona and now you are tackling the runes she uses

It's almost like those runes are what made her powerful in the first place, and now that you tone down the runes you are leaving Sona with a gimped kit, this is Vladimir and Sejuani all over again...while feeling as deliberate with what happened to Olaf

Her pre-25 minute winrate now is 40% and most games don't last longer then that, you now have to realize that if you pick Sona that you probably wont get to PLAY Sona because her kit only starts working as well as other supports when she gets 30 mins into a game, she now sits under 50% overall winrate for the first time in over 5 years

Now nerfs are coming out for manaband and scorch, 2 very common runes for Sona, lets not forget the nerfs to Aery and Kleptomacy (the -25 range nerf was a very big deal for Sona), PLUS healing items are getting a nerf next patch...wait lemme check what subclass is dominating the support role, OH IT'S TANK SUPPORTS NOT HEALING SUPPORTS, I don't get where these changes are coming from...

Sona always had a decent winrate, she was a really easy champion to pick up to use and do well with but her tools were not overpowered at all, she is never picked in pro play due to how conterable she is, and that's what kept her fine even though she was on a consistent 53% winrate

However now we have a champion who is useless for the first 25 minutes, with a target on her because she is made of paper, it feels so shitty to play her now when you are against decent players because they know not to let you scale and you will find yourself getting effortlessly towerdived while your ADC flames you for being useless...and for once they are right

Can we please have some response on the sad state of current Sona, all we have really had from Riot was the blurbs on the nerfs, and honestly " Even after her mid-patch nerfs back in 7.22, Sona's lane poke is overbearing." is a joke of an excuse, you never even hit her lane poke in previous patches, a very flat excuse, if she is getting nerfed this much then we need to know why. It feels like Riot want to remove her from the game, if Riot really feels this way about Sona then they need to seriously rework her and give her some skill expression somewhere on her kit
