I just read the other replies you had for Emoto, and there is reason in what you're saying. I played Sona for quite a while, but then again, I played her before and after the gameplay update, and I also haven't played as Sona or even LoL in over a month, so I probably forgot what she is like powerwise, and I am just reading the numbers on her balance changes. So, yes, glass cannon support, but I sometimes prefer some more oomph behind the offensive spells, or just have more offense, if I were to go glass cannon, but that's just me.

-yes Then how come there are no cry threads about Zileans bombs, having like Sonas powerchords, no Counterplay at early game levels.

Reliable perhaps not, but her slow is quite potent, though, everyone seems to be in love with Q power chord so...

It's good if bot lane gets an gank, but she can't peel off an enemy with it. She can slow them, but with the modren mobility meta, everyone can catch her up, and lets not forget that the most adcs have long ranged abilities to kill.

Quite the opposite, she can do it ALL, hence, why she should be mediocre at all of them, she's the jack of all trades of support and if you wanna see her real power you gotta know how to use it ALL, not just button mashing.

Have fun utilizing that 1.5 second shield while adcs do sustained damage.. over 1.5 seconds. The slow can be potent, but is not reliable, mostly if sona has to stop her movement, throw and auto attack with her low attack speed base, and then begin to run again. Experienced players will find easily a way to kill her anyways.

All, mages do have autoattacks that they use in between skills, orbwalking is a must in ALL roles, not just ADC.

Then, why most of them don't use them? When I play together with mages, they use their auto attacks either on their minions, or just use their abilities instead.

Same is true for almost every support, more importantly the ones who can ward safely are mostly supports with haste, Sona has a haste that works wonders, now if you like playing chase the frog in the jungle while the rest of the game is going forward I have bad news for you. Honestly you can ward effectively as Sona, who says otherwise needs to really check the way they're playing, now if there's no enemy in sight and you just so happen to remember you have sightstone and decide to ward dragon at 40 minutes alone... really? come on.

So, let's think about it. You just did go b to heal yourself up, you go next to your teammates, and one of them requests that you ward around. I as support main would ward the bushes in the river, wich is extremly risky if no ones around, yet no one wants to come with me, because they're clearing waves or clearing the jungle. You're forced as support to ward alone most the time, because your teammates have to do also more important stuff and should not babysit their support all the time.

Sona is NOT an immobile champion, more specifically, she doesn't even need to move to cast her skills and thanks to Song of celerity low cost and high uptime she has an effective movement speed relative to the likes of Janna, if you can't click to move that doesn't mean Sona is immobile ._.

Janna gets passively alot of movement speed by her own, and considering that she also builds an Talisman, she's running quite fastly around. Sonas E has a 12 second cooldown and lasts only 3 seconds. It sure gives a burst of movement speed, if Sona builds shittons of AP. Yeah, many people would say the argument that she has the mobility boots, wich give more ms, but if it happens, that an enemy finds you and attacks you, you'll be extremly slow, and there is nothing Sona can do against it. If the enemy has a gapcloser, she's pretty much lost, either with or without speedboost.

I'm sorry if I sound rude, it is not my intention but people against Sona's nerfs need to be a tad more objective about their complains and actually sit down and play with Sona not to compare her kit with her old self but to master her highs and lows and THEN come and complain for valid things like:

-Song of celerity sometimes moving you out of range from a teammate -Aria of healing mana cost -Q aura uptime being too short. -Hidden power in her ult that people barely notices should be in her natural scaling

The Speedboost for allies is only 1.5 seconds. Her new celerity is extremly selfish, because she benefits the most out of it for now.

The Aria mana cost is absurdly high, thats true, but her shield is extremly hard to utilize, and the healing amount is extremly weak too.

The Q aura uptime is alright in my opinion, and the hidden power in her ultimate is also quite weak, I really hope they come up with something better .

It's alright to disagree, but I play her extremly often now, even with those nerfs, and in my opinion she's now even weaker than before. I feel awkward to say this, but I really wish that more people would actually try her, mostly support mains, because many people seem to judge her from that what they read, but not from what those spells really do.

Reliable perhaps not, but her slow is quite potent, though, everyone seems to be in love with Q power chord so...

Except Sona is 1 of 2 supports in the entire game that lack hard pre-6 CC. The 2nd is Zilean, who's is more accessible, stronger and has greater duration. Matter-of-factly, Zilean has the longest guaranteed slow of the support class. Only 1 other champion has a **potentially **longer slow: Nami

So, Zilean makes up for his lack of hard CC with the longest slow in support. Sona? Nope, she just has the blatantly worst pre-6 CC amongst all supports.

Quite the opposite, she can do it ALL, hence, why she should be mediocre at all of them, she's the jack of all trades of support

This was once true, almost 6 months ago. Then July 30th happened. Sona's current state is more like "Dabbler of all Trades" or "Has-Been of all Trades." She's quite literally the worst in everything she does, mediocre no longer.

Vladimir is in a good spot, because his sustain isn't too strong, nor is he too strong in general. Talking about the past is one thing, but then again we're on the topic of Sona, and Riot isn't really explaining much about why they're placing so many nerfs on Sona when other, more problematic champions are running rampant

There are so many people asking why there are nerfs to Sona, as opposed to champions like Zed, Fizz, Yasuo, Akali, Katarina, etc. Vladimir isn't going to have any increase in win/pick rate just because there are other champions that make lanes more painful, and people are going to pick those champions more often than Vlad.

That does sound scary O_o That's almost like a 100% Lifesteal Nasus/Warwick... Not to mention Nasus's Q-stacks...
