Sona's kit No late game

The last rework for Sona removed her natural aegis effect and what did we get in return ?

  1. Ultimate got narrow meaning less aoe in teamfights .

  2. We are now forced to stay next to allied champions for bonuses that last only few seconds . Its not practical because Sona is very squashy .

  3. Her passive+Q is a little stronger but it makes no difference after laning phase .

  4. Heal is only strong on low hp targets so it's kind of crapy in lane and late game where 200 hp makes little difference .

Sona's entire kit falls off late game . Her ultimate dosen't make up for her low defense and lack of other hard cc.

Most caster support like Janna,Nami or lulu can be effective from safe distance . Sona has to be inside the battle to do anything and it doesn't work cuz she can't take much punishment .

She needs her passive bonuses back .

Sona's fine. You just need to stop camping far behind your teammates and tag them with your auras. Boom, huge improvement in effectiveness.

My last Sona game can attest to that.

Build this. Problem solved. Honestly, you can constanlty keep the buff on your ENTIRE TEAM since at max CD your W is only like 7 seconds Cooldown. (Item buff is 6 seconds). Also it doesn't fade if you suddenly swap over to blue. You can heal/shield everyone, boost teir AS and then even add damage on that.

OK, now from my perspecive: They need to change the way Q works. Her only viable attack pattern as AP is highly toxic and not avoidable. Q+Passive+Lichbane... even spellshields dont work since that only catches the Q and not the loaded basic attack coming afterwards. Some kind of skillshot would be nice... or at least something dodgeable.

Overall, while the rework itself was fine, it was a total waste of potential. Maybe becuase they wanted to keep Sona at a "can be used by total noobs level"...

How about some complexity? How about the mechanic to weave two songs together? Or something else that would allow the players to actually express skill with the champ?
