Firstly Sona,

I feel she is an excellent Champion, She has strong pokes early game, her auras are excellent and, she has great sustain and a great stun/escape. She has pretty much no aim its just qwerewqwe or whatever and 9/10 times it will land unelss there is a minion or your team are half way across the map. and with deathcap and cdr she is op. Look at how she was banned in urf. so why is she never played in professional games? and even in normal games ppl are like fuck yeah sona but noone wants to play her plus that dj ass!!! and arcade ahem OFF TOPIC anyways ? What is the best support champ and why? for me its obviously

Also why do so many summoners hate clarity. its like 40% mana back to ALL the team. how useful is that during team fights if your carry runs out. also for very mana heavy champions like karthus its essential imo. better than say ignites which targets enemy champion, dealing 70 – 410 true damage why have that when you could cast 2 spells with say 300 damge and collectivily in a group of 5 around (600 per fighter ) 3000 with the extra mana So why the hate?

well sona isn't actually mobile, she has a speed boost and that's it. She can be a lane bully, but she has no cc at all except her ult, and supports usually go for utility. So she caaaan't really peel for her adc too well if they're being targeted.

Her heal is okay, nami and soraka's heals are better.

And clarity is a waste of a summoner spell because there are ways in game to handle your mana, and clarity just deprives you of something else more useful in game, like exahust. exhaust is so good, because it decreases damage, attack speed, and movement speed. Or ignite or heal. Any time I see an enemy has taken clarity, I automatically know they're like a bronze 5 noob and im not scared.

Why no Sona on the pro scene? Probably partly due to the prevalence of lane swap + double jungle strategy. Sona's early poke and sustain are sorta pointless when she's not laning against anything. Also, she's not as good at protecting her carry against the sorts of things being played right now. She has no real CC until she hits 6. She's squishy. The W shield is pretty weak. The utility that she has is just not the kind that's needed right now. Ali, Braum, and Thresh all do better for either engaging or protecting the carry while being able to survive themselves. Then There's Janna, the queen of disengage. And she's also much better at protecting the carry with shields and peel. Sona just sorta becomes a jack-of-all-trades in an environment where it's more important to be a master at one or two certain aspects.

Why the clarity hate? It's generally only useful early on in the game. Later on, most things don't tend to have huge mana problems (your most mana-reliant champ, typically the mid laner, should generally be running with a blue buff).

The lack of Nami in the poll is disgraceful. Nami best support.
