That's what people said about Azir.

Let them take what time they have left to ensure safety.

Sepakuru1 votes

oh of course, I just really think it looks great so far and I really hope they don't botch it (in b4 rito makes a last minute change)

Knalxz2 votes

When it hits the PBE (i'll check if it is now) I'll try to bust bugs. I felt pretty bad that all the time I spent as Azir in the PBE i didn't notice any of them.

I feel like i failed on that part.

To be fair, Riot doesn't care about PBE feedback anyways. For the short month the 4.13 Sona nerfs were on PBE, it was unanimous that Fearless was completely destroying her. He intentionally ignored all feedback, he even admitted to it and forced the nerfs to live regardless.

Knalxz4 votes

I've noticed the feedback part but I was talking about nipping bugs in the ass. Ironcailly i get on the PBE because there is a bug where the file download stops at 99%

Pika3103 votes

Fearless already botched it on July 30th.

I've always laughed at the people that buy ultimate skins.

Now I will become them. And I won't look back.

Gray Fanchon4 votes

In all fairness, they literally made three songs and added in the ability for other players to listen to the songs if they want to

This is the first ultimate skin where I can understand the price tag; Riot really pushed themselves here. The bar's gone up. :D

I feel like this skin will actually negatively impact my Sona play; I'll just be spamming skills to listen to the music instead of actually using them correctly lol

From what I was reading, when you taunt it actually changes her theme versus the skill ability... so if you are lucky (and the information is correct) we can listen to the sweet beats of our favorite version!

it is ! with /toggle (or ctrl+5) you can change her forms, and this is pretty awesome!

Honestly, would've been cooler to give someone that wasn't nerfed into the ground the ultimate skin. Pre-rework Sona would've actually been a much better base for this, since the auras would be permanent and just look plain cooler for more than 2 seconds.

Would've preferred a Fiddle Ultimate skin, would've been full of spooks.

Come on she's not that bad.

The skin's not bad at all. But the skin lost potential after her little rework. Pre-rework, they could've designed this skin to show her wide range aura field faintly and have it move along with the song, not sit around for 2-3 seconds before withering away.

That and she just finished getting shat on in those patches. I primarily wanted Fiddle to have an ult skin because he's in no real danger of getting knee-jerk nerfed quickly or harshly. And to be quite frank, there's SO MUCH an ultimate Fiddlesticks skin could do and be.

I too think someone else should have got the ultimate because of arcade Sona, but this skin is just awesome. And Sona isn't as useless as people say, for example last game as Annie I just couldn't do anything about her though she should be the lowest threat against me.

Arcade Sona literally has no bearing on my stance regarding this skin. Sure, they're both "techie" in a way, but one is video game themed and one is EDM themed. They're very distinct.

And Annie is a big threat to Sona, idk what you're talking about. If you get into auto-range while Annie has her stun up, you're gonna get rekt.

Then again, what support isn't a decent threat to Sona at this point.

I looked at 122 other possible support champs, I'm sorry to say I couldn't find a single one. They were all dangerous threats to Sona.

I guess the only right answer is "Sona after 5.3," but then she'd be affected by the 5.3 nerfs as well, so even that's a moot point.

Oh wow another sona thread. Oh look another sona skin. How about we take out all champions except for sona. Wow. We love sona. Sona is the bomb.

You took the words out of my mouth! I LOVE Sona and this skin is amazing! Love the transformations! As a Sona main this does not disappoint! Sona

You stick to your ponies and Sona . I'll stick to my Riven Azir Leblanc .

GundamXionaz12 votes

I don't understand the hate towards the Sona "ultimate" skin. Do you have a better idea on another champion that would be worth the price of admission? Yes, she has a decent amount of skins, but that is because she is popular... I mean the champions who lack skins... well... it's because no one plays them. =P

I LOVE the Riven skins but do you really want to pay ultimate price for her? What would her transformations be? Seems more like a 1350 like Project Yasou.

Down-voting Master Yi but not riven? Okay. He's male right? That's why?

Yi is just one of those champions that no one likes. Oh hey look I have no skillshots and even though there is tons of counterplay against me I am still annoying to fight! Also, he is boring. Incredibly boring.

he is boring. Incredibly boring.

If I may add, he's also kind of a "noob trap" champ. Every person I've ever spoken to about League and their first champs say "I saw Yi faceroll my whole team, I bought him with IP, played him and didn't like it that much."

He's almost always bought first, I'd bet. Yi doesn't see a lot of competitive play at higher levels.

Just my 2 cents.

GundamXionaz3 votes

I just hate Master Yi because I always get that teammate who feds him to no end and he's horrible to deal with. Also his playstyle isn't my thing. I like my skillshots, feels more gratifying when you land them.

60cG25XEnH4 votes

That relates to your own gameplay how? Focus on your own gameplay, don't call them a noob in chat, encourage them, tell them to play safer, build around his auto-attack oriented damage, and cc him and he dies in one hit.

60cG25XEnH2 votes

Also she is only popular on the forums. Not in the game where people actually play. As of today she only has a 8% popularity rating, where as thresh has 31%.

Pika3103 votes

That's because Sona is unplayable and Thresh is the #1 uncontested support in the game. It's like comparing apples to a single apple core. We have Fearless to blame for that.

That's not entirely true. Some champions that are never played have a ton of skins, and I wouldn't say sona is too popular right now. Not as popular as Janna, Thresh, or Braum at least. Then there are champs who are played a lot but don't get many skins. People are mostly upset because most people think Sona is boring to play and boring to play against. While Sona mains and some people disagree and it is entirely opinion based the majority are opposed to seeing her a lot. While I myself am not complaining, I won't be getting the skin as I never enjoyed playing Sona, but to each their own. But one of Riots reasons for making it for sona is probably to make her a bit more fun and interactive without touching her kit itself.

As a Sona main, I am disappointed if this reaches LIVE whilst Fearless is still employed by Riot and whilst his July 30th nerfs remain in-tact. I fail to understand why they keep someone on their payroll who is single-handedly losing them money.

Dude, stfu. Sona needed something after all the nerfs and lackluster remake.

Pika3103 votes

Perhaps, but personally I would've preferred that "something" to be Fearless' forced resignation, a revert to the July 30th nerfs and some proper buffs. I can't even enjoy this skin despite Sona being my favorite and most played champ, because she's been ripped apart so badly.

cshakes5 votes

As a Sona player, I was going to buy the skin, but it just looks like Arcade Sona 2.0, This Time With A Rad Helmet. I'll save my RP for Guqin.

MrBuffington6 votes

I had a similar opinion; was wondering why they went with a DJ Sona theme when Arcade Sona is arguably pretty close. It's still a cool skin though, I might get it if I can scrounge up enough RP...

Circuit Bear5 votes

I must admit, the skin looks sick, but with all the nerfs and bs around Sona being "unhealthy" I can't say I am as excited as I wish I was.

Considering we have 3 splash arts, I think we can choose which form we can have and can switch forms at anytime during the game.

It Is I Emoto1 votes

thats even better and appearantly you can listen to her tracks instead of the standard league of legends music, for yourself and your allies wich is probably the best ultimate skin hands down, ezreal resets when he dies and udyr expands sona has won

Pika3104 votes

Then you remember this happened:

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/champion-update/sona-maven-of-the-strings

... and realize that Sona has lost.

It Is I Emoto4 votes

Sigh Yeah I know this happened; And with the ultimate skin, they'll bring her lower hp base + lower mana regen at early game sona suffers of so much pain

Guy Fox Teemo1 votes

She doesn't change as she lvl's up , your able to choose each form if you do /toggle and it will change to the next form. No need for lvling up to actually change
