Sona is at 45%

Good job riot team. I though you guys were better than Blizzard in terms of balancing but you have proved me wrong. Ezreal, Leona and Twitch get free passes but better nerf a champ that is at 52% winrate. At least give proper reasons as to why tf you are nerfing her. And no these condescending statements won’t do. Your reason that leaning against her is overbearing holds no value when Leona can all in easily and MF can easily harass you if you are standing behind a minion, which let me remind you, the game itself tells us to do.

You have disappointed me since these nerfs. Not only do you refuse to talk abut the reasoning or anything you refuse to communicate with the players. Shame on you

  1. As far as Twitch, Leona, and Ezreal go: Ezreal and Leona were just nerfed. Literally this morning. Meanwhile they're keeping an eye on Twitch, but Meddler stated in his QGT that Twitch lost a considerable amount of power with the new runes.

  2. They gave us the reason. "Even after her nerfs mid-patch back in 7.22, Sona's lane poke is overbearing." She could half-shot you with a Q-Empowered auto at level 2, it wasn't fun. Other supports don't have that kind of damage.

Did you even bother reading the patch notes? [sg-zephyr]

I did read the patch notes. Do you honestly think that these nerfs are enough in comparison to the one Sona received. These are the nerfs she has received Nerf her base armor

Nerf her W's shield and heal

Nerf Aery (totally understood on this one)

Nerf her Q AA aura in clean half

Nerf her Q mana cost so it costs 33% more

Nerf Kleptomancy's bonus range if she bothers with it

PBE's New notes

Nerf the sorcery line's starting ap by 5

Nerf all shield/heal passives on all heal/shield items (Copied it from a post on here)

The nerf that ezreal and Leona received are nothing compared to these

It especially hurts if that empowered Q auto uses Lich Bane as well

Of course it was still overbearing, because they didn't nerf her poke in the 7.22 midpatch nerf.

Umm sona Needed a nerf, but nerfing her Q wasn't the main issue. Riot Needs to Nerf Aery, to many champs Sync WAAAAAY to well with Aery.

Honestly Sona's just one prime example and she was overly strong with it. But other champs with Dots, and auto champ target spells got a free pass this week.

The main issue is Champions like sona. do so much damage because lanes now lack the ability to put on MR runes to have a survivability vs ap supports like sona.

so with with this new system All AP supports got a huge boost in damage + extra damage for what ever Damage burst rune they take. Aery being the most toxic cause its guarantee hit / damage

They already have nerfs for healing and shields bonuses for support items on PBE. After those nerfs they'll tweak runes overall so Aery should be fine. Still think Arcane Comet is stronger for champs that aren't support imo

Everywhere I see around Sona has a really good winrate, just where are you pulling that number from?

This?

She had a dip but is still above 50%, which is what they were hoping for, furthermore, it's literally the first hours after the nerf, so people still need to get used to her Q not chunking so obscenely now.

Most sites update really slowly. So it will take time to know the actual winrate.

Edit: I cant find it as well.
