Mid sona is actualy really strong

What Lemon Graber said.

Other mages do it better. And I would be angry if they balanced her around mid. Lulu is bad enough. Let's not have every AP support doing it, plz. The support role still needs a lot of work to get actually decent champs that truly belong down there, and Sona is one of them.

Maybe its because there is a lot of mages that do way better at poking and dealing damage than Sona and her 50%scaling q (wich is her only damaging ability beside her ult) and that she does better as a support because of her aura's and her multi target stun?

Probably because that's just begging to be gutted over and over by Zed, Talon, Fizz, any long range burst mage, Annie... I think you get the point. Mid Sona is too squishy to be laned against burst champs, and doesn't have enough of her own damage or range to be reliable against beefy mids, sustain mids, or long range mids.

not sure why. Only bad thing I could see is a lot of AD assassins would maul her, but ill give it a try tonight!

Just Pick Zed and Talon and you won't even be able to get back to lane.

She can't farm. Pick all in assassin gg wp you're useless.

Plus Sona is a cancerous champ. Anyone who asks for buffs is missing something in the head.

She needs A REWORK.

Strong single target burst (heavily tied to Lichbane) is really all that mid lane Sona has going for her. Her kit does not support being a mage and being balanced around this lane.

She has 1 non-ultimate damage ability, and a sheen-like passive that happens once every 3 spell casts, for starters, which is very weak compared to other mid laners. Even Lulu who only has 2 damaging spells has them on regular abilities (and has considerably more self-peel, mobility and tankiness than Sona).

Her wave-clear is non-existent, she is extremely squishy, and highly vulnerable to ganks due to her slowness and lack of escape. Sona actually hates facing high burst and that's most likely what she'll get to face mid. It only works if the enemy is taken aback by her burst thinking "wtf a support can't be doing dmg", anyone who knows Sona will know how to go ham on her and have their jungler feed on her if they ever need assistance.

one thing some comments above are ignoring is Sona's shield and heal, she has the means to outsustain, also deals insane damage, even as a support at low level, 1 poke and an auto will take from half to 2/3 of your hp, its insane

dont need that bag at mid. keep her at bot.
