Change the Current Situation of Sona

Requesting a rework or buff to Sona. Here's why: Now here's a champ with 482 base health at level one and has one of the lowest base health at level 18. You took her and implemented an aura with a low radius, which is asking Sona players to walk to the frontline and give them buffs with their aura. This action puts one of the squishiest champions in the game in danger. In addition, you've also made her passive, an important part of her kit, auto attack reliant, which puts her in even more danger as most carries have spells or auto attack ranges further than 550 range (Sona's auto range). Unless you're expecting Sona to purchase a item 3094 there's no way she's going to use that passive effectively. Players always have the option to build tanky on Sona, but you've also given her supporting abilities a poor AP ratio such as the 0.25 scaling heal on W. Even when moving these aside, Sona has very poorly scaling base powers on supporting abilities:

Aria of Perseverance (W) 35/55/75/95/115 heal on levels 1-5 30/55/80/105/130 shield on levels 1-5 Maximum damage mitigated 65/110/155/200/245 on levels 1-5

Song of Celerity (E) 10/11/12/13/14% movement speed on levels 1-5

Aside from the ridiculous 1% movement speed increase per level on E, the potential base max damage mitigated on W is greater than most popular supports like Janna and Lulu, but Sona has to get close in order to shield unlike many other supports. Now if we look at the 0.55 total scaling on the W, you will realize that most meta supports have a greater scaling with more benefits such as bonus ad (Janna), Pix empowered autos (Lulu) and a burst of movement speed (Karma). While Sona, on the other hand, provides less with a higher risk of dying. Sona's only hard CC is also is easily dodgeable and provides less than something like a Lulu ultimate, Janna ultimate or even support Heimerdinger's R-E.

This Champion has to be buffed in some way, as most players don't even bat an eye to her in champ select. item 3070 Sona

make her Q have armor and magic resist shred components (or apply a mark that deals extra damage on hit) instead of so much burst damage. now she can be fixed in any other area.
