Please do something about Sona

Because:

1.) She is extremely easy to play, YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A MOUSE. 2.) She is still overpowered " BUT THEY NERF BLA BLA BLA..." , She has a billion boosts and an so much self-sustain, You can try to kill her but you will never catch her, And she has so much damage that It gets to the point that she turns the tables around and you have to run, So many escape mechanisms and so many possibilities to play aggressive without getting punished, Up to plat elo she is the queen of supports and gets abused a lot. By far my most hated champion in this game, It is cancer.

I do not care what you Sona mains think about this, I think it is cancer and very unfun to play against, I am sick of this champion and sick of the people who spam her.

Its actually quite simple on how to deal with an AP Sona, watch them, they have to get in to an adc's auto attack range to poke with their Q, and that Q deals low damage. Its the Q + Powercord that hurts.

She does have some fast cooldowns, but all you need to do is just wait out her mana pool. To keep it topped off late game it would require 50+ mana per second and most AP Sonas wont get mana regen because it lowers their potential burst damage. The ult is really easy to dodge as she has to get in range for it and that's really noticeable.

Late game, an AP Sona with lich will hurt, but here is the thing. She is extremely squishy, and if you stay out of her ult range, you will kill her. Catching an AP Sona is quite taxxing if you have no gap closers, but she is light years away from being as fast as fucking Janna. Chasing an AP Sona will destroy her mana pool.

If you are melee, get a little bit of mr, A Sona that builds magic pen is very rare. Many people don't build mr and bitch about ap poke. Its fucking burst, of course its going to do damage if you don't build against it. I mean if the enemy had a Le Blanc, you would build a little bit of mr wouldn't you?

Now as for Utility Sona's, they are WAAAAYYY faster than AP Sona players. They don't build magic pen boots. Even though they lose out on about 75% of the damage, Utility Sona are the ones to beware of in a chase. They have high mana regen. They might not have the poke an AP Sona has, but they are faster and can spam their spells for minutes with that 40-50 mana per second regen. Utility Sona's can be as fast, if not faster than some of the normal Janna builds.

It is best to have some gap closer to take them out, but utility Sona's are also quite tanky if they build right so it might not be wise to chase alone.

She may be easy to play, but she is not exactly one that is easy to master, as I see many people who claim to have mastered her, but they have horrible positioning, get punished often when they go in to poke and they do not take in consideration their range. Take advantage of that and you will stomp a Sona in to the gound.

The moral of this is, If its an AP Sona, you can 1v1 them if you have a bit of MR and/or dodge the ult.

If its a Utility Sona, be careful when you are alone because they can dish out more damage over the chase with out running out of mana, they can cast around 5-6x more spells with the same amount of mana than an AP Sona can and i recommend two people in that chase.

I rarely see full AP Sonas, Can be a pain but there are many other mid lane mages better. I am talking support Sona, She needs only 2 utility items and can build damage after that.

A support sona that only gets 2 utility and then goes damage is actually weaker than these two, way weaker. Still probably faster than AP sona, but wont have the poke damage or the sustain of the other two. Mid ground for her is quite easily punished. Build a little bit of mr and the utility ap sonas become wet noodles.

Thank you And on a side note, it's so painful seeing a Sona that has horrible positioning and doesn't use their power chords correctly.

All of those champions actually take skill to play tho, Sona takes none whatsoever, Unless you have a Blitzcrank or a Thresh on your team, Sona is the most annoying thing you could face.

Well the thing is toplane meta is quite much about counters and stuff, or the game of which idiot picks top first than the enemy.

Botlane supports on the other hand can be extremely safe, even if they pick champs without cc. That is of course if the adc can manage his wave. This is generally why sona and raka are hated hard. ...on the other hand most sona players tend to spam and push the hard to their disadvantage. Most of the cases the player himself is the reason a botlane enchanter type support dies, which is ironic since they auto-win or can make it a stalemate if they keep put.
