Sona has been a useless champ for years, I've literally been dodging games with Sonas ever since Patch 4.13 went Live. Unfortunately, it's quite literally impossible for your Sonas to play any different than what you describe. Her damage is crap, she dies to 2 autos early game & 1 auto at mid or later. She MUST save ult for herself, because without that or Flash, she's an immobile pinata.
Unfortunately, she can't "harass from a distance," because almost all of her damage is 550-units. Her passive is an auto-modifier, her Q's cast has a "champion priority" range equal to her basic attack range & her Q's shit-bubble is also an auto-modifier. She quite literally MUST be in range of counter-harass to interact with the enemy. Which like I said, means she will die if they're allowed to auto her just twice.
Before the recent "buff," she was the least-played support in the entire fucking game for very good reason. Character is genuinely useless. Playing Sona is like playing a fucking caster minion. Furthermore, the NERF this patch was because 1 Youtuber played Sona. Her pickrate beyond that lone player was still nigh-nonexistent. Rito literally nerfed Sona because ONE PLAYER was "playing" Sona. According to Meddler & Rito, Sona isn't allowed to have even 1 "dedicated" player. That is the depth of Meddler's & Rito's hatred of Sona as a character.
