Sona needs a hot fix

Arey + scorch gives her long range Q poke (without aa) a massive amount of damage and all on a pretty short cd. Legit cannot win lane with her in it as she can poke at max Q range now to deal damage equal to her early Q + passive AA. Throw that in too and she's kind of a nightmare at this time. She has too much early lane pressure at level 1. i think the best way to deal with this is to reduce the on cast Q damage. If this makes her too weak compensate by making the added AA bonus damage higher on herself (say double) at least then she need to get into auto attack range and can't just safely poke from afar.

I'm not just complaining, Sona is one of my most played champions and it's way too easy to win with her now. I can send players back to fountain to heal (or they die to next poke) in 3 to 4 q pokes. That's really too strong and there really isn't anyway for the opponents to play against it short of having the jungler babysit them and often this can't work because they got poked too low too quickly.

To be clear its the safety of dealing too much damage with the range of Q active that is the issue not the amount of damage. Engage tank supports like Leona, nautilus, and Thresh could punish her if she was force to go into aa range more but she doesn't need to at this time.
