Can Sona please be a viable champion before level 11

Yes there are fringe cases where this isn't an issue, but overall Sona feels weak for way to long. I'm talking 45% CDR and being level 9 or 10 and still struggling to have any meaningful impact on the game other then a well placed ultimate. I'm honestly not sure if it's the frequency of her casting or the low power of her utility skills, but dang if it isn't a slog to become an asset for your team.

Didn't she just get a buff though .__.

  • 3 base damage and + 5 damage on her passive. it's nice but that doesn't really address the issue i'm talking about. I'm talking about the issue where she feels really clunky till you get a ton of AP on top of maxing out your CDR. It feels like she "runs right" after you get to level 11 and are rocking that 58-59% CDR on your basic abilities. But at the same time it could be an issue where she "runs fine" at 45% but her low base numbers make it seem like you aren't doing anything.

So i guess it boils down to me wanting to know if she is useful to her team because she can get over 60% CDR OR if that comes from finally putting levels into your utility skills OR if it comes from hitting a tipping point where you have enough AP to make your abilities "powerful" individually rather then via spam tactics. Then it's just a matter of figuring out how to get to that point faster, so she doesn't seem to take till level 11 to get up and running.

Sona is extremely viable before 11. Especially the lower ELO you are. In my last 14 games I'm 10-4. Over 64 games I'm 41-23, with a 4.2/4.5/15.6 KDA.

I often provide a minimum of 15k DMG.

My last game? 6-5-25, with a double kill and around the25 minute Mark I was 4-1-9.

I'd say she's plenty viable.

Try droppingitem 3003 and try the following 3 items.

item 3092 , item 3222 , item 3028 , item 3504

Not sure if it works in Gold though. I've only made it as high as SIV.

It's funny cause you're doing what I used to do, but you're lacking the reasoning as to why I used to do it.

That doesn't really tell me anything.
