Why are people saying that sona is just a weaker version of nami?

I am probably going to get downvoted a lot for this, but sona is way easier to play than nami. Also, I usually don't see nami taking out 1/3 of an adc's health with just q+aa every 8 seconds.

Nami isn't really better than Sona. They have different things that they're good at. Nami is better in lane since she has stun pre-6 and more substantial autoattack empower than sona's q which also slows the enemy. Though, her healing is worse than sona but you can use it as an attack spell as well (unlike sona which has 1 attack spell). Sona is in a worse position because she relies on spamming to activate her powerchord and if she loses health, she has to heal meaning she loses more mana than Nami during laning phase. Nami can use her spells more skillfully and situationally; she doesn't need to spam her abilities to utilize her passive and is less likely to go oom. Her ult is pretty much the same in terms of damage. Sona excels more in team fights where she gets full usage of her auras and use her stun to catch multiple targets, Nami is more for catching individuals that are out of position.

The Sona circlejerk trying to justify Sona's braindead gameplay.

nami: same ult but wayyy better and game changing, bubble OP, she can easily take down 1/3 of adcs health, also about equal heals (sona kinda wins this one imo)

Sona is a nightmare to fight against.

My sona secret is spam q in base till you get your powercord ready. Go to lane, Q and auto for a good amount of damage.

excuse me but i hate the fact that a sona deals more dmg than her adc in lanning phase and i can't see any nami taking half my hp bar with 2 spells

Sona's only better in low elo. There, you can just poke them out of lane 24/7 and rarely get punished for it very much. But against good players, they'll position really well and it's much harder to get away with poking them. If you somehow manage to poke them anyway, you're leaving yourself way too vulnerable to being ganked and Sona has almost nothing useful she can use to survive a good gank. So she just kinda loses there.

Nami, on the other hand, can get away with playing somewhat more aggressively than Sona can, since she can just bubble the enemy and walk away if she gets ganked, assuming her lane isn't pushed. And she's much better help when her jungler ganks since she has a slow and bubble. And other than that, her abilities are just more efficient than Sona's. Like her w is like sona's q/2 + w + e all in one, her e is like Sona's q/2 + e combined, and her q is the cc Sona wishes she had. And there ults are pretty similar.
