How it feels to face New Sona in lane

Let me just say this: all along I have been against Sona's new Q. I felt that it didn't make sense for her to only buff the one autoattack, especially because so few champions actually rely on autoattacks for their effectiveness. It's unsatisfying to buff one autoattack for your ADC in lane, and it's unsatisfying to watch the buff go to waste on 3 of your allies because they aren't in a position to ever use it.
Just now, I played against a Sona who rushed Sheen.
First of all, I didn't know her Q enhanced her own autoattacks. It doesn't say that anywhere in the tooltip and the buff isn't visible enough to really see for sure. Second, it's such a monstrous increase in damage at low levels, particularly when her power chord is up, that it basically feels like playing against old Nidalee - except the spears are undodgeable.
People have been asking SINCE THE REWORK WAS ANNOUNCED for a change to the way her Q functions. The ONLY WAY TO USE IT IN A SATISFYING WAY IS TO CAST IT SELFISHLY. It is NO fun to play against and NO fun to play with.
EDIT: Did you know Q'd basic attacks double-proc Spellthief's Edge? Including the bonus damage? This is goddamn lewd.
