What tank support do you pick into Sona?

Team really needed a tank because of our comp and theirs, I was last pick as support. Which tank do you pick into a Sona support? In my experience I get the bejezzez poked out of me by Sona whatever tank I pick. I ended up going Braum but now I'm thinking maybe Tahm would have been better.

I'd take a hard engage tank, personally(Leona, Alistar, Thresh, Blitz). Not that I really play support, but reasoning would be that Sona is squishy. Like real squishy. Like the squishiest. A support like Leona can jump on her and your ADC can delete her in no time flat. My counter to her poke is usually just to punish her the moment she gets in range to poke. She walked up to Q? Lock her down and kill her.

I could imagine into a Sona/Luc, or some similar early game ADC, that it could backfire... But in general my goal with Sona is just to make it scary for her to even step close enough to poke.

But like I said, I don't really play support much. Just my thoughts from the little bit I do play it.

Any. Leona, thresh, blitz, alistar, they all literally shit on sona post level 2. They have a way better level two and are more than able to hang back and avoid poke until then. After you hit level 2, just dive her. She has less health than a melee minion at early levels. She literally blows up.

It was pretty much already said, ...

You counter sustain / poke with hard engage.

Alistar Blitzcrank Leona Nautilus Thresh

any kind of hard engage champ.

blitz if you land a queue on her she is dead instantly thresh kinda the same and naut

alistar can use his combo to blow her up and make her easy kills for the adc

leona can all in her or the adc easily.

typically if im vs a sona ill take summoner 14 if i dont have a reason for summoner 3 ( no hard hyper carry )

Pyke is her hardest counter followed by Naut. Blitz wins lane, but loses game hard as he falls off and she scales into team fights.
