Please buff Sona's early game.

It is SOOOOO weak for such a lack luster pay off in late game. Played a couple games as Senna and Nami , i'm bad at landing my stuns and i still crushed those lanes. If i had been Sona those would have been hard lanes.

Your mana costs are high, your damage is low, your sustain is low, your cooldowns are moderate to high, your buffs are basically non existent. She needs something more early to be able to hold up in a meta of tanky hyper engage/ legit mage "supports"/ and enchanters with similar (BUT BETTER) aspects of her kit. Heck even if you get her to late game, you're not doing nearly as much as she did in years past. With damage and sustain up on most other champions, you're failing to clean up people who have more then enough tools in THEIR kits to finish you off before you can set up another "combo" rotation.

I don't even know what exactly she needs, but she needs something to be a semi relivent champion in 2020 and beyond.

Going by statistics, Sona is the 2nd best support in the game globally, while having a positive in rate in every single elo bracket, and you want more buffs?

Sona is not meant to have a good early game due to the nature of her late game.

If you want her to be Nami level good in the early game then her late game needs to be gutted.

You can't have both.

Easily reached plat with Sona last season, although now I'm maining Janna. I'm surprised how you say she has a lackluster late game when she is one of, if not the hardest scaling support in the game. Damage Is low? You must not be abusing her Q power cord.. that thing a substantial amount of damage for a support...

EDIT: Looked at your match history. Your last 3 games you do more dmg than your top laner as Sona

The only reason why Sona is not so strong right now is because of the hard engage meta. Nerf champions like Leona, Nautilus, and I'm sure she will return to a good state.

Sona does not need adjustments to fit the meta! When will you people realise that there have to be NO buffs on ANYTHING in order to salvage this game? You mention Senna and Nami, two champions that are blatantly overpowered so instead of buffing champions to match their levels of power, how about we **NERF **those two instead?

And as a side note, Sona, when powerful, was driving people out of botlane because everyone despised playing against her

Her Q hurts too much I would love it if she gave mana instead (for her blue aura) lol
