Maybe Sona mains can sympathize with immobile top mains now.

"Why should I even pick Sona now?"

You know what? You're right. Why should you pick her, when supports like Braum, Thresh, or Nami exist? I mean, she's clearly outclassed by them, so why bother?

Well, maybe now you'll understand how immobile top laners have felt for an entire goddamn season. To sit back, helpless, and watch as each new release slowly pushes your favorite champion(s) farther and farther out of viability. To be promised that top laners would "feel the love" this season, only to watch three of them get slight buffs, and the rest get shoved under the rug.

It's almost the same thing really, except Riot gave you the luxury of trying to rework Sona into something that works, granted, she's still struggling to keep up, the fact is that Riot tried for you. They didn't give us anything, and instead thought that releasing overloaded garbage like Gnar would fix things, when really, all they did was cause more problems.

Our problems are one and the same, our favorite champions are slowly losing their place in the game.

Why exactly should Sona feel what immobile top laners feel? One would think that the actual enemy of those champions would be a better target

Sona and immobile top laners have nothing in all in common to relate to

It's just a spite of "Ha now you know how we feel now!" for literally no reason at all

And about that rework, 80% of the community was against it All it did was make Sona a champion who needs AP but can't solo lane, making her even more of a mess

i never liked sona that much because she was annoying to lane against, but in no way is a chzmp being annoying a reason to nerf them lol. I don't even think sona mid is possible anymore because her ratios are pretty trash now.

meanwhile....Fizz

the fact is that Riot tried for you.

Riot didn't try for Sona. They intentionally rushed a "rework" they knew to be a failure. They ruined her in-game models. Fearless hasn't even responded to a Sona thread for I believe 3 months now?

Cass on the other hand? They might be trying for her, who's to say. I can say that each iteration has been worse than the last. Constantly looking for "trade-offs"(nerfs) in an attempt to find balance for her.

But I liked Sona mains :c they were some of the least toxic guys I used to meet! They were supportive and warded and pinged and used smileys at the end of most sentences to cheer us up after a bad a teamfight and to keep us going after acing an enemy. At least before the rework, now I hardly see Sonas at all except for those asses that smurf to play her ARAM :/

If you ask me, Vayne mains are the ones that could use that feeling. Most toxic guys in the entire game and some of them even play her top to make it worse!

The meta changes constantly. I never understood complaining about a specific champ being unviable.

...Who are the immobile top laners? Garen has a speed boost, Darius has a speed boost, Malphite has his ultimate...

Is it just Olaf?
