Sona Rework Possibility

Valrun··1 votes·601 views

New resource; Strain - Sona's abilities build up Strain on her Etwahl, if she hit's 100 / 100 her strings snap and she is rendered unable to cast for an amount of time.

Change her abilities to activate a special chord after certain sequences.

Change her Passive to activate after Two Chords, increase the cooldown on abilities ever so slightly.

R- New Passive:

   Amplify: Fires out Feedback in an area, dealing damage and slowing nearby enemies, also Increases the effectiveness of her Chord progressions by  X amount for 6/8/10s

Q-E = Her next auto attack deals bonus damage and slows the target.

Q-W- = Her next auto bounces to a nearby allied unit and heals / shields them.

Q-Q-= Strictly damage

W-W = Large AoE heal, places W on an extended CD.

E-E-= AoE Speed boost to allied units in an aura.

E-Q= Creates a persistent damaging field around Sona.

__

The idea I'm trying to communicate is that different combinations effect her Power Chord in a different way. The way they Power Chord is communicated is based on the first chord she uses.

Q=> Auto Attack enhancement.

W=> AoE cast.

E=> Persistent Aura.

There are parts of this I like and parts I don't. Proccing multiple Chords for a combined effect is a good idea that I've seen several people play around with. There are a few things I think need to stay consistent with Power Chord's theme: While Sona's basic abilities are designed to help her teammates and make them stronger, Power Chord serves the contrary role of hindering and debuffing enemies.

I don't feel like Power Chord creating a buff for your own team fits thematically. Then, if combining Chords comes at the cost of higher cooldowns and another new "Strain" resource you have to manage, the price may be too high. Especially when she's still struggling from the 4.13 nerfs, which still need to be addressed aside from this.


Having said all that, I'm partial to the idea of putting more depth into Power Chord's usability and interactions. This idea needs more attention.

I didn't think it was that bad of an idea. It was just an old file I had and the Sona mk2 thread inspired me to post it to forums
