QoL Buffs for Sona?

DJ Di0·Feb 24, 2015·4 votes·820 views

I have some ideas to fix some things about Sona, mostly the way her powerchord interacts with things:

1.) Can we make it so Diminuendo either applies the debuff to towers, or doesn't proc on towers at all?

2.) If you use a powerchord on someone but die while it's mid-flight, it just disappears. It'd be better imo if the powerchord effect at least continued.

3.) This is more of a question than it is a request; how does Rylais interact with Sona's Q? Is it considered 'AoE' and thus will only slow 15%? What if it only hits one target?

That would imply that Riot wants Sona mains to have quality of life item 3070

Sona and buffs in the same sentence? I remember when I was idealistic like you...

Plus I think her ult mana costs are still 100/150/200 instead of the flat 100. That or LoLWiki hasn't updated that.

Yeah, they're like that. I think it's kind of dumb, tbh.

It's probably better for sona players (myself included) to control their auto attacks. Not affecting towers would be a nerf because her Q bonus damage won't apply to towers if that happens.
This might be a thing with auto Attacks. this might not be able to be fixed.
The only champion who's on spell effects are variable between single target and AoE is Karthus' Q. Doing this to sona would likely be unnoticeable considering her Q targets arn't controlled

your summoner name, I was expecting Sona buffs, but it was you Dio.

Yeah, that's why I said to only do this with Diminuendo. Staccato is needed so she has some pushing power; now that I think about it they could at least make it so the Q aura works on towers. It'd reward grouping around her when trying to siege.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Didn't know that was the case with Karthus' Q. Now I know that it can be done; even though it's auto-targeted, I was thinking it'd help a lot with chasing situations.

Haha.

Sona has never had a buff in the entirety of her existence. Considering Riot has spent the last 7 months relentlessly nerfing her into oblivion, with 4.13 being the majority of said nerfs, they won't start now. Not so long as Fearless continues to remain under their employ.

They gave her a whole 5 more points on her shield tho.

Are you referring to the last PBE patch before the "rework" went live? They actually REDUCED her shield by 5 points, not increased. Having said that, anything in her patch history that could potentially be considered a buff, is either:

A. A global change made to many or all champions, or;

B. Paired with severe nerfs that completely outweigh the theoretical "buff."

Anything that you have to think "is it an AoE or not" is definitely an AoE.

Hmm, I guess you have a point.
