This is just a copy from a reddit comment i made with some additions

She always has high winrate because she's easy to play. But she's not nearly as good as riot is making her out to be. Her nerfs are worse than Ornn's. Sona arguably has the hardest matchups out of any support and it's easy to pick leona and 1 shot her whenever an E lands, same with blitz and thresh. It's all a matter of knowing how to play against her instead of taking the poke for free. General consensus even from plat+ is that as players get better she becomes worse and worse. Doubling her Q mana cost is very harsh and unjustified, lowering the aura's damage is wrong (If they want to nerf damage, nerf the projectiles, not the aura). Remember when censer was dominant? Remember how sona, the best user of censer, only saw a couple games i the competitive scene? And the highlights of those were her getting picked off and dying instantly without being able to react. Meanwhile janna went along and instead of getting nerfed got a powershift. Why is sona getting nerfed, no idea. It's like if they don't know what to do with her. If she's going to be the aura support she's always been, then why nerf exactly that when it's not the problem. There's no context in the patch notes to her nerf anyway. This just makes her be balanced around low elo soloq while making her a disadvantage in higher elo. Perhaps its time to add some skill expression in her kit or whatever to janna-ify her.
