So, @Fearless qhat we gonna do with Sona?
Hey there, yes this is again another thread from a Sona main, who complains about her rework. Sona is right now in an umcomfortable spot, being extremly weak, very squishy, and relies way too much on her ultimate ability right now. Her heal is too weak, her poke doesn't scratch that much anymore, and get outscaled by Nami, who does everything what Sona can, just better. Fearless, I am really disappointed with ignoring her problems right now, because she is not need for buffs, but needs a better kit than the current one. I know you wanted to keep her personality as "aura" champion, she did change, but instead of supporting, she feels now way weaker, and still can't defend herself. Always when I play her, I need at least one team mate next to me, so I have at least someone, who can protect me, if I am placing wards or clearing wards. Because Sona is being a easy target to kill, enemies won't think again and try to kill you, because you are just a oversized minion who can't peel them away. Sonas only reliable cc is her ultimate and her e powerchord, but if you are getting chased, its pretty risky to put an powerchord on an enemy, and wasting your ult for an disengage is also pretty risky, since the enemy team would know, that it would be their chance to engage, since your team lost an big part of cc. Yeah you could also just try to run away, and die, giving the enemy more gold, and also some seconds for the enemy to engage, meaning, whatever you would do, Sona has to survive so she can be any useful.
I honestly was excited as Sona fan for the rework, to turn Sona into a more interactive champion, hoping that her auras would also debuff the enemy or something similar, yet jt was disappointing that Sona recieved those weird auras, and tuning her a bit down. Considering that her powerchord was the only source of damage, the q powercord nerf was probably the one that did hit her the most. her other chords remained unchanged, and that was very disappointing too.
With her most recent nerfs, she became even weaker, and feels more unpleasing to play, and has less impact on teamfights, except her ultimate ability, wich needs most the time a well timed flash, otherwise she can't go through the frontline or position herself right.
The most of us probably saw the real numbers of Sonas abilities, and most do really know that shes not as strong as the most (aram) players say, and people who like the rework and say its op, sadly i can't agree with, I play mostly kassadin and leblanc, and they have more burst than a Sona powerchord.. yeah it has not much counterplay as Zileans bombs, but it also doesn't has those incredible high scalings as his bombs.
tl;dr - Sona is weak, gets outscaled by nearly every support, and is still in need of a better kit.
