Stepped away from the game for a while and just recently came back. Noticing a lot of people throwing fits when I "kill steal" with Sona. also noticing a lot of guides now build her maxing W first. Did i miss a meta shift where healing is better then lane pressure? Also why are people in Gold tier throwing fits when they get assist gold vs. nothing at all??
They lowered her Q damage a fair bit, so she's not longer max poke machine
And people always mad when anyone but them gets the kill
as someone who sona is their 2nd most played champ, i still max Q ,
i typically go Q , W , W , Q , E , R and then max Q
You dont throw all your points into maxing W first.
3 points in Q and then max W.
No point maxing it first when you dont have the mana or the mp5 to sustain the healing.
I think it's situational. Like if you're with a 
you should definitely max out q first
