I gotta be the guy to say this? (DJ Sona)

If you hate that a support is getting an ultimate skin I will bet money you're one of those ADC's that takes all the credit for winning bot and blames the support for their deaths.

Or you're just a Zed main.

QQ more.

As a fan of Sona and EDM, this skin is a wet dream. So thank you Rito :)

I don't think i've seen anyone complain about a support getting the ultimate. I see plenty of people mentioning that Arcade and DJ are very similar, and also others that mention that Arcade is pretty much already a legendary skin due to how well it's made and that it is wasted to give someone with a skin like that an ultimate.

I could also be like you an assume that you posted this because you are a supprot that feeds every game and who's only retort to teammate asking you to please stop feeding is "OMG SUPPORT HAET BAD ZED/ADC"

It's that I have Arcade Sona that is making me even a LITTLE hesitant about picking this one up. I really like using Arcade and don't know how I'm going to easily pick between using one or the other per game.

Honestly if I had this skin I wouldn't even worry about Sona's viablity as a pick- I'd pick sona just to let my teammates groove out.

Arcade Sona skin doesn't look that good.

Everyone was all excited about the Arcade lane when MF got one only to find out that MFs had WAAYYYY more work put into it, I wish they had just updated Arcade to look better. Not tried to get more money out of people that already own a skin or two for her.

Oh I agree, this one is better than arcade on a straight skin quality level, but I really love the 16bit sound direction for Arcade.

I've actually seen a lot of complaints about a support getting the ultimate skin. A lot of people, I don't know if they were trolling or not, said "Supports shouldn't get the skin. Nobody wants to play as them." To which my response was: Every single LoL Summoners Rife game (following the meta) has a support?

You'd lose all your money with me then heheh.

I play Zed since release, never stopped even when he was nerfed multiple times and yet i'm not mad because of a support getting a Ultimate skin, ADC is my least played role because i'm not good at it, i support from time to time if it's needed, but i mostly play with friends so i'm more than happy to do that.

I was so eager to see which what skin would it be not much for the champion who gets it.

I quite like DJ Sona even if people may be upset about it they cannot deny it's a very good one.

Ultimates makes me always feel like a kid in a sweet shop heh, we certainly needed new content to refresh the air here as nothing exciting did happen lately.

I'm happy for Sona mains (Free music for me :D)

Personally, I think the DJ sona skin is 60% an apology for the nerfs and 40% pissing off everyone who hates sona and sona mains. Fair trade if I might say. Although the nerfs were unjustly, I don't wanna keep fighting a battle that is already over.

It's obvious what the nerfs were for now, they know that when an ultimate skin comes out they want the champion to be as balanced as possible to reduce the amount of complaints. Since they have had this skin in development so long this is why we have been seeing periodic sona changes and nerfs for a while now.

Pika31011 votes

they want the champion to be as balanced as possible

Being the weakest champ in the entire game is "balanced?" That cardboard logic.

Pika3105 votes

Just like how George Washington gave up and America to this day is still a British colony. Oh wait a second...

Personally, I feel no "apology" in Riot releasing this skin. How I see the percent going: 40% pissing off Sona haters and Sona mains, 20% screw viability, 30% screw players willing to speak out against Riot's intentionally bad decision-making and 10% Riot themselves hating Sona and extorting anyone still willing to play her. I don't know about your state, but here in Arizona this would be a class 4 felony by way of criminal code 13-1804 subsection A paragraph 6.

Funny, but yes, he has received SEVERAL changes since his release, between nerfs and buffs, if you don't believe me check up the patch notes into LoL wiki or something.

Captain Aishi16 votes

V3.7:

 Razor Shuriken
    Damage dealt to secondary targets reduced to 45/69/93/117/141 (+0.6 bonus attack damage) from 60/92/124/156/188 (+0.8 bonus attack damage). 
 Living Shadow
    Vision radius of the Shadow reduced to 700 from 1300. 
 Shadow Slash
    Cooldown increased to 4 seconds from 3. 

actually that's the only patch where zed received flat-out nerfs without getting any compensation buffs, so it's quite negligible as far as "X champion being nerfed multiple times" unlike champions like Sona for example

she has received straight up nerfs in patches 5.1, 4.20, since her rework that made a lot of her mains hate her in patch 4.13 (which also was considered to be a nerf in her power level comparatively to her previous iteration)

so it's easy to understand why people might react this way

SmokinSickStyle8 votes

W projectile speed got nerfed by 1000 (1500 from 2500).

Anyway, enough with the Zed talking, my comment was just to express myself on people hating Sona getting the ulti and from OP's point of view many of those people being Zed players, and as Zed player i was stating that it isn't totally true.

I think we can stop turning this thread from DJ Sona to ANOTHER Zed thread.

Junkο6 votes

Actually: -Q damage reduced -W vision reduced -W missile speed reduced by a third -E cooldown increased by 1 (this is a huge nerf, as it removes 1 E from your ultimate early game) **-E now reduces W cd by 2 each time it hits a champion instead of 1 from every unit ** -Indirect nerf via Botrk changes, which made him build the tank destroying build he builds today -R ultimate now spawns a shadow from where it was cast instead of where you land, "But now he is safer", before every smart player would just leave a W behind OR go with triple shadow overkill, now you only have the first option. -ult cast time increased by half a second -the ones he got last patch

bolded huge nerfs

not saying he isn't a problem, but he got nerfed a lot.

I'm actually really sad for Sona mains. Before, Arcade Sona was enough to showcase your dedication to the silent support, but now you need DJ Sona FOR THE INCREDIBLY LOW PRICE OF JUST $25

Tsunday1 votes

Really I thought I needed every Sona skin to showcase my dedication? I thought a dedicated suppot always tried to make matching botlanes with their ADC and their ADC's skins :C I say this as a support main who owns almost every support skin in the game. This time next year I will own them all (Except the Victorious skins, RIP Victorious Janna the best skin in the entire game) because all I need ATM are a few Alistar skins, Bittersweet Lulu, Deep Terror Thresh, Sun Goddess Karma (prey the RNG is with me on Traditional), a few Blitcrank skins, and maybe a few Annie/Morg/Zyra skins if they're still considered 'supports'. I'm not even counting DJ Sona on the skins I need, I've owned every DJ Sona skin since the last time Muse came out of Legacy Vault last time and I am not going to lose my claim on owning every Sona skin.

but naw everyone played Arcade Sona even the Sona's who didn't main Sona. It didn't feel like much of a dedication at all. The dedicated Sonas were the ones who played Pentakill, Muse, or Guqin.

Agent Tatsu1 votes

Guqin was always my favorite.

Tsunday1 votes

Part of me really liked Arcade, I loved the gaming board in front of her, but she was really my midlane skin. I laughed so hard when I went midlane because it pissed enemies off when I AAd because of her AA sound. it was great. I switch between them all outside of midlane though. Part of it depends on my ADC, part of it my mood, and then part of it based on who I played last.

I bought Arcade first and Guqin second (it was my favorite of her 975) because the music was great but now that you can't hear the music it's a little more lackluster imo.

Agent Tatsu1 votes

I find it funny how everyone acknowledges how utterly annoying Sona is, yet everyone complains when she gets nerfed

Tsunday1 votes

I'm actually upset that she is still getting nerfed on PBE because I think she's at an alright (if not a little bit of an outclassed place) atm, but her rework was a major buff and the first set of nerfs were definitely needed :/

Pika3103 votes

The "rework" was undoubtedly a major nerf. It can't logically or mathematically be described as anything, but that. A compilation of 17 simultaneous nerfs, it secured her position as the most unplayable character in the entire game.

Truly the clearest showing of Feareless' deep-seated Sona hatred.

Orisi4 votes

Personal bugbear time; His wager was not that all Zed players hate Supports getting this skin, it was that IF you hate the skin, you're either that sort of ADC or a Zed player. as in 'the latter is predicated on the former'. A truncated example; All Sona haters are Zed players, is not the same as All Zed players hate Sona.

Pika3107 votes

I would be under the impression all Zed players love Sona. She's easier for him to farm than a caster minion.

Riot: Alright, so I think we can all agree we hate Sona, even though there's really nothing wrong with her, right? Let's nerf the shit out of her!!


**Date: February 3rd, 2015**

**Riot:** Hey there, LoL Community! Here's an ultimate skin for the champ that us here at Riot have nerfed the shit out of! Now buy the skin because it's really awesome, even though we'll still nerf Sona into oblivion!


I am **very** tempted to get this skin. At first, I'm like, "Holy crap, that's freakin' awesome! I might start playing Sona again!" Then I'm like, "Oh wait, Riot's nerfed the shit out of her and will continue to do so. So what's the point?" I wanna keep track of this skin's sales and see how many people buy it, just in hope of seeing a low number of people buy it in order to spit in Riot's face for such an asshole move.
Pika3106 votes

Yes, my feelings exactly.

Damorion2156 votes

Yeah, like, I want the skin so badly, but why should I give any money to Riot for a champ they're just going to keep ruining? They've yet to properly nerf Zed, they're afraid to touch Lee SIn without pissing off the community (like they already haven't), but out of all the champs the feel needs the most nerfing, it's Sona. She doesn't even get any LCS play anymore (which I blame both on Riot AND the players for a number of champs other than just Sona)! I think we can see some reasons as to why NikaSaur and Ms. Pudding (and probably some others) left Riot.

So yeah, if anyone can tell me, is there some website or app of some kind I can use to track the sales of a skin and/or champ? I'm really curious.

Hellish Prophecy9 votes

Can't believe how ignorant this post is if you're serious. I love supp. Support deserves a major amount of credit for bot lane victory, and it's the most vital role with Sona being the face of "true" supports. I don't hate that a supp got an ultimate. I hate that it was Sona and the theme for it was DJ. Don't get me wrong. It looks great.

mirth1018 votes

Please Riot.... why NERF Sona all the time. She is NEVER played on LCS anymore. Because you nerfed the hell out of her kit. Please look at her again. Who complained? No one. She was fine. Zyra , Sorak, Morgana, Braum, Taric. No one gets nerfed ....except little Sona who is powerless. This is not balanced. This is unbalanced. And we need her back. We need her heal to be better. We need her poke to be stronger and less manna hungry/ Why do you make a skin then If she can't be played properly because of her total uselessness after you took a scalpel to her. Please restore some of her strength, I beg you. I main her. I ranked with her. But now? Impossible. Please reconsider.

Sona has been nerfed hard and nowdays people don't tend to use sona anymore.. Her win rate dropped hard.. I think this new skin is riot idea to make player to use sona again..

Visigoth6 votes

I just hope Zac is next on the skin list. And not just legendary. I've seen plenty of decent ideas for skins on him but Riot just refuses to acknowledge his existence in this game, kinda like Yorick.

Terff5 votes

They've acknowledged his lack of skins plenty of times, his skins just take longer and require a lot more effort than most others do.

Ashes Arise6 votes

I would be happy about this if Sona wasn't Riots new most hated champion. As much as I like the skin, I just don't care. Sona is so undesirable atm. Too squishy, too slow, and still chained to her adc on a leash due to gutted ranges. I wasn't okay with the Sona rework when it went live... do you honestly think I'm going to be okay with it after she has been heavily nerfed since then?

Kojiro Sasaki5 votes

"or a champion that has her fair share of counters (ex. Leona, Blitzcrank, vocal chords), Sona's pattern lacks significant counterplay when these champs aren't present, leaving her laning phase pretty oppressive. To give her opponents more windows to counterattack, we're reducing some of her skirmishing power so she's not so obnoxious with that harp. Etwahl, sorry."

Translation - "We want Sona to be crap, and every other support should be able to beat her"

Isn't that what counter picks are? If you don't pick against a specific champion you're saying it should still be easy to just kill them?

Only reason I don't like this skin is because she has received a LOT of nerfs recently. Nothing makes me love a skin MORE then playing it on something I know that RIOT feels is too strong. Besides that its cool.

I play Zed and i don't hate DJ Sona because she is a support. I hate it because she got absolutely gutted in the last few patches, and she is probably gonna be buffed back up again just so the skin will sell.
