Sona buffs being tested on the PBE

Sona Base HP increased to 497.6 from 482.36 HP Per Level decreased to 70 from 77 Base attack damage increased to 52.04 from 50.04 Movement Speed increased to 330 from 325 Base mana regen reduced to 1.6184 from 1.8 Mana regen per second per level increased .13 from .08

It's a start. It might not bring her back to being competitive, but it'll make her less squishy early on. Note that this is PBE. It's more of a tweak, but it's a buff to her early game damage and late game utility.

Less base HP by level 4.

Sona will be even squishier than she is now.

However, that MS increase is probably going to be underrated (again).

It's not really a MS increase, just a reverting of yet another terrible decision by the balance team.

Are we sure that's a buff?

Buff to her early game, nerf to her late game. It's a tweak. Will edit OP

Whether this is a buff or not is debatable. Mana changes hurt much more early than they help late, and I'd rather have 110ish more hp later than the 15.24 less at level 1. By level 4, she'll have less hp. I'm not impressed.

The base AD and movement speed changes are the only things I'd call good about these changes. Still not enough to call this any kind of significant buff, although getting the movement speed back certainly isn't anything I'll complain about.

I'd rather they didn't remove her MS in the first place. It is in fact something to complain about, because it happened. Brushing it under the rug and pretending it didn't happen doesn't improve their image, it just makes them look even more incompetent.

Less squishy in early game, but less spammy. More squishy in late game, but more spammy. Movement speed nerf reverted. Auto attack increased barely. I don't see the point in any of it.
