If sona were a mage?

Sometimes I think to myself, you as a support sona I feel really useless late game. So I tried Full AP + sightstone and though hey this works pretty well. Then i moved to sona mid/top and i thought "Wouldn't be great if sona was a mage?" becasue I think most her usefulness is the amount of poke/damage she can do in lane while the heal and speed buff compilment the damage parts of her kit. The problem is sona does too much damage for a support so riot keeps nerfing her but not enought to be a viable mid. Sona will never find a good spot in LoL simply because of the way riot made her kit. So if sona were a mage i'd have her kit look a little like this, if anyone else had a good idea im just brainstorming, not like any riot employee will read this or anyting anyway -.- Q - well her Q is something that I would keep the same or close the same except maybe enable to buff lane minions for pushing lanes better. W- okay, I would change it to a skill shot very similar to karma's Q. when the green beamy thing (idk what else to call it) hit an enemy champion does % health magic damage and sona heals depending on how much magic damage is done. Afterwards a field (aura?) of sound is created (roughly the size of a cassiopeia w) enemies standing on this have mr and armor lower and hp is slowely drained. The aura field afterwards would last maybe around 3-4 seconds? this would also serve as wave clear. E- Sound waves shoot out from sona. (in a circles around sona) slowing enemies around her by 20% on the way out then the sound waves return to sona and slow enemes 40% on the way in. Does magic damage on the way out and in. R- pretty much the same - each rank increases the E slow, W health restored (on the initial target) and damage. passive - probably the same? Anyway basically what i tried to make sona a mage XD while doing my best to still keep her Aura champion identity. But instead of buffing your allies you debuff the enemies and set kill for yourself. Also this would bring her skill cap up a little? anyway I'm still thinking about what to do about the Q.....anyway thanks for reading!

I play full AP Sona mid from time to time, though it's always with a full premade who are interested in trying to win with silly things. It works pretty well, but when I support I prefer a more tanky build that focuses on the W and E powercords.

My problem with w/e power chords is the mana costs on w and the cd on e. i've tried tank sona and it works okay, the problem with sona right her heals are weak as fuck and e is only really useful for chases.

Which is why people liked Sona before her rework more.

That and the mana changes really kicked her in the ass.

Right XD I feel the same way. They keep nerfing her, it's like uh oh if sona gets too strong she might be able to get into the meta! Better nerf all other support so people just play morg thresh leo and repeat. Nerf all other supports! (i think soraka got the biggest slap in the face though XD)
