I just remembered why I don't play PVP. Help?

"Sona, heal us more!" I'm out of mana. "Heal us!" I'm out of mana, I've been trying to recall for 3 minutes, am playing at 300 ping and am lagging all over the place. "Heal me!"

So, someone mind telling me how I did? I know I should have bought a sweeper, but I wanted a warding trinket early on in case we got invaded. I rarely got the chance to recall and buy things.

I was silver last season, so I am in no way an expert at league, but I do have some advice.

Don't build ardent censer. It's not a strong item, even on Sona.
Of course you ran oom! You didn't have , , or even !
I would try to direct my team to grouping and trying to pick off Lee Sin or Graves. If the enemy is too smart to get caught, tell everyone to stay in lane under turret and farm up.
Elaborating on the top tip, communication is the key for most games.
Once you get sightstone, trade off the yellow trinket. Having both is overkill.
Mute your teammates if they're really toxic. This doesn't seem to be the case for this game though.
I don't know how to fix the ping.

Anyways, good luck if you continue playing pvp! It's definitely harder than playing with bots, but that's also why you improve more. Maybe you should try to play with your friends?

It's really hard to say how someone did; even detailed match history says very little about the match. Though with how it sounds from what you said, I wouldn't sweat this match, with the lag and everything else it didn't sound winnable in the first place.

I do have ~~instructions~~ tips for you.

You were actually correct in getting the warding trinket first. It would just be good to get in the habit of switching it out when you get sightstone.
You should level Q first, not W. Sona has strength in her early poke, get it to lend more damage to early game trading then level W at level 2 to heal your partner's damage from these early trades.
Fix that mastery page. You have put too many points into tier one skills when they could be much better used on the better masteries higher up. Example: The two points in Recovery are wasted if you have three in Meditation like you do. Take them out and put one into Strength of Spirit and the other elsewhere.

Your Support and Cookies page (Love the name) is an example of you doing it right for Sona. ; )

I would buy Ardent Censer if your team has 2 or more of the following champs and even then I would buy it only on Sona, Janna and Soraka who can heal multiple people at once. Just a thought.
