• Overall goal here is granting Sona more decisions to make in the game which results in better skill expression, allowing the player to choose how they want to play Sona based on the individual, game, and situation.

• Introduce a significantly better passive that is easier to understand for all players, offers a great mastery curve for those that want to main the champion, and has real impactful choices behind it that drastically change up how you use her abilities.

• I do want Sona to still be easy to play, but easy to play does not mean no mastery curve, with more decision making in the kit for players to express themselves makes her a lot better for high levels of play without dominating low elo.

• In this concept kit, I want to try to introduce something that is less frustrating to go against while still offering a powerful champion as champions should be. Great without being dominant or overpowered.

• Finally, I want to try to focus Sona's power and make her less of a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. With that said, she will still have crowd control, damage, and healing for my concept, but in a way where it could open her up to other positions and not be busted.
