it IS sona we're talking about, I'm sure Riot has already 3-4 nerfs in store for her because of those games :P

DJ S0NA18 votes

Can't wait for the "We've scrapped the Sona changes and decided to nerf her, in every ability. Even E. Thank you"

Heckin Support4 votes

I just wish they would rework her. I hope if/when they do the support update (like a mymu type thing) they work on Sona. She has this amazing potential to be a great teamfighting oriented support. She's just being held back because Riot doesn't want to touch her since she is a "staple support" and they don't know as what type of support to label her as.

"We've decided to make all of her abilities skillshots, including W and E. This will give Sona players the opprotunity to be flamed by adc's because they dodge your heals."

B1naryB0t2 votes

"This is what separates the good Sonas from the great Sonas."

B1naryB0t1 votes

Don't worry, instead they'll add some useless mechanic and cut her real power in half for it as "compensation".

Taryn16 votes

When Riot saw the Sona pick they probably immediately lined up at least 24 more nerfs to make sure she's not relevant for another 2 seasons.

Again.

Don't worry. Riot is already planning to return her to her rightful place; the trash can.

Can't have those filthy squishy supports crowding out our incredible Morgana botLeonalaneThreshdiversityBlitzcrank now, can we ?

And continues to keep getting nerfs. Poor cow, soon he'll have nothing but his Q and his W.

DJ S0NA2 votes

That's what he gets for getting a mini Malphite ult.

Wolfenstin2 votes

It's not his fault Riot keeps pushing for it to be the identity of his kit. I'd be perfectly fine with it if it wasn't possible anymore or if they reverted the 'making it easier to perform' update they put on it.

Dan Abnormal3 votes

because he's broken as hell

You guys just put up a list of 10 supports, claiming a lack of diversity. Might want to keep it a little smaller next time if claiming the support role lacks diversity is what you are trying to do.

You also missed Bard

Yeah, trash champ who doesn't aim anything except ONE AREA EFFECT HARD CC, so amazing.

Taryn9 votes

Yeah, Sona's like the only champ in the game that doesn't have to rely on difficult and skillful skillshots to pull off her kit, it's honestly rediculous how hard all the champions in the game have it in comparison to Sona like just thinking about some of their kits gives me a migraine with the complexity and difficulty I need to lay down.

i mean a lot of varus damage is binded to skillshot, kayle however...

Ekko multiple skillshots. Leona multiple skillshots. GP relies entirely on skillshots now or his kit is gimped. etc. etc.

You really have no idea what you're talking about, Sona spamming slob.

MavenSong1 votes

Ekko's e is point and click Leona's q is point and click Gp's Q alone is point and click.

(Why the downvotes? Im just explaining, jeez)

ImmortalBloodCY1 votes

Leonas Q is click and right click.

You dont point it.

You point her E.

MavenSong1 votes

Her e is a skillshot you aim. Q you have to simply press q, and point your cursor to what you want hit, and click. It may be just an empowered auto, but it is "point and click"

Rhyto1 votes

Yet the problem is, most players can't do crap to a Sona who knows her kit. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Arsenic Sulfur2 votes

Except those who pick supports that are either tanky or can get on Sona, in which case she evaporates. Remember a stiff breeze can kill a Sona.

Janna Sona counter confirmed?

ImmortalBloodCY1 votes

I pick Soraka against tanky supports or against Tresh/Blitz.

They lose I win.

Counters dont exist in my opinion only the better player does.

Autrah Fang2 votes

and i still see people saying that Sona is garbage, even though she's my go-to support, and my only mastery 5 champion... if she were garbage, i think i'd notice... (the people saying she's garbage aren't saying she's "simple" or "easy to play" either, they seriously mean that she sucks...)

Rhyto4 votes

It's hilarious really, I mean honestly her learning curve is literally about positioning and providing poke damage to soften the target for the others. Or better yet for you to neutralize. Most players fail at utilizing her kit but of course most players also end up easily getting blasted by her kit as well. Few have mastered her kit entirely and plays like Aphro's are pretty much expected and executed perfectly in matches.

People whined about Sona nerfs when she had a 54% win rate.

Roar of Legend4 votes

Win rate doesn't say everything about the champion. The only people that play Sona are the people that stick with her for so long that they naturally better at playing her. Just because Lee Sin have low win rate, doesn't mean that he is terribly design, it's just that he's so popular that some random guy who hardly play him be like "They ban/pick my main... Let's go Lee Sin because he seems useful to the team :D" According to LOLking, the lowest 10 currently consist of: Nidalee, Poppy, Lee Sin, Ryze and Kalista, all of which are very great in competitive game; why don't they have high winrate? Because the FOTM players who never play these champs expect themselves to get a freelo ticket but lost due to lack of knowledge. Nobody is going to pick up Sona as their second of choice champion, leaving only the people that really pick her up to play her, resulting in better general win rate. Also to make this even more clear, there was a moment (like 2 weeks ago) when Galio have the highest winrate... he isn't op, he isn't broken, nobody has found the hidden built; it was simply just because the few Galio main were having a good hair day... that's all.

Galio has the highest win rate right now in top. We Galio mains are dedicated and I am proud of my higher elo bretherin.

I would argue that outside of her ultimate, she's not a good utility support. Meaning that the bonuses she gives to her team are rather unimpressive. She can be a really great damage dealer if you build her for it (the kit basically requires you to be in AA range anyway), but as a enhancer support she's lacking power.

I hope she's nerfed because EVERY SINGLE time she's on my team it's feed after feed after feed with 0-10 bot lanes every game

ThySituasian1 votes

i think that's just your sona.. as Sona my total champion point in her is 145.8 and i'm a really good support. Yeah sometimes i die to stupid mistake but sona is a really good support and her ult can go to 50 sec cd.

Sona in like 2 or 3 patches:

Riot: "We decided to nerf Sona to bring more diversity into the game."

League Community: "Diverse you say :^) item 1401 item 3068 item 3025 item 3512 item 3156 Gragas Nautilus Volibear"

Sona: "(Where will I be going now, and whats that dark basement with a sign that says "beaten to death by nerfs" over there?) ..."

I started playing League in November of 2015, just a few days before Illaoi was released if I remember correctly. Sona was the first champion that I bought, and I became a Sona main then and there, and have played her since.

I started watching Pro play in late January. I wanted to see League at a pro level, and hoped I might get to see a game where Sona was picked, just to see how the pros play her.

While watching their level of play was exciting, I was admittedly saddened as I steadily realized that I'd likely never see Sona in these games, especially considering that, I think, the last time she was played competitively was in 2013, unless I'm mistaken.

At this point I really didn't have any hope of seeing my favorite champion, but there was always that little glimmer that maybe one day, she'll show up, and be a good pick for her situation.

I nearly lost my mind once I saw the Sona locked in during that game. I was so excited to finally, finally get to see her, and was hoping even more that CLG would win, not just because they're the NA team, but because if they did lose, then everyone would target Aphromoo for his pick, saying that "Sona is a trash champ and she lost you guys that game as soon as she was locked in"

So imagine my excitement when not only was she able to do relatively well, but her team managed to win! I was so excited and happy! Then imagine my shock when they picked her AGAIN the very next game, and proceeded to get another victory! I could barely contain my happiness!

It was also interesting to me that even I, a low-level, shit bronze player, was able to see Sona's plays incoming moreso than I could others, like in game 3, when Kindred used their ult early, and FW was pushed off of it, while Sona still had her flash+ult up, I knew exactly what was coming, and it was a strange, happy feeling to know what this pro level player was going to do.

I think I'll be satisfied with Sona's competitive appearances for a while. Hopefully she makes an occasional appearance as a niche counterpick here and there, but the fact that I was able to watch her in action on the pro level has made me extremely happy.

Well to be fair, the pre season changes have all been only Buffs for her. She got SOO MANY good new items, windspeakers is amazing on her, and so on.

...Now shes gonna get nerfed. Again.
