@Riot concerning Sona

In her current state, Sona will likely either be oppressive or unusable in lane unless her damage is perfectly balanced, as her main damage source is targeted. From what I understand, fewer and fewer champions have targeted abilities and those which are reworked (sion) have them removed, which makes sense. For the most part, there is no counterplay against targeted abilities.

Sona is currently one of the easiest champions mechanically in game, perhaps only surpassed by udyr. However, as a support, she is expected to bring cc and utility in some form for her team, both of which are necessarily gimped because they take little skill to use. The only ability she has which has any sort of player interaction other than poking her when she pokes you is in her ult.

An possible fix for sona then is to change her Q into a skillshot or an aoe like cho-gath's w. This would give her some much-needed skill requirements and allow her to be buffed to a position of viability other than a newb-stomper.

Example:

Q: [pass-through skillshot/skillshot nuke]

Sona sends out a wave of sound which raises the damage output of allies it passes through for two seconds. Upon hitting an enemy the skillshot will end, dealing damage and applying on-hit effects.

What do ya'll think of Changing Sona's Q?
