Karma is way better than Sona in every department except for the whole Crescendo thing.

The part that matters.

Karma is legit, don't know why your head exploded and **** came out. Having her over Sona is perfectly fine albeit situational.

It matters, sure, but it's not like Karma's ult is completely useless. Defiance is a huge amount of team mobility, especially when you combine it with talisman of ascension, you can pretty much use it to force an engage/disengage anytime you want. It's like a mini- On The Hunt.

I suggested her because Sona's low base stats make her much more unforgiving early game. Crescendo is good, but nearly everything else Sona does Karma can do more safely and, tbh, better....which matters if you don't feel comfortable relying on your allies.

Karma relies entirely on her allies. Sona at least can carry with her ult. Karma is more comparable to janna but with lane presence.

Late game, I agree with you. Early game, not so much.

Sona has no CC early game except for a slow she can only proc with an auto-attack at barely over half the range of Inner Flame, no escape, and her poke is less consistent and has less range overall. Not to mention the fact that her base stats are terrible.

I wasn't trying to be general. I was specifically stating that Karma is a safer pick early game than Sona, which makes her a better pick if you can't trust your marksman to back you up.

Am I really seeing somebody imply that sona is in any way better than karma? o_o
Apart from crescendo, which isn't as important as you say it is, sona can't match up to karma whatsoever.
Karmas utility with her Defiance is almost as strong as crescendo when used correctly. The fact that karma has a weaker ult is completely made up for by every other skill. Karma's poke is way stronger, Karma's damage is miles higher and Karma's non ultimate mobility/cc is much stronger as-well.
Oh did I forget to mention karma doesn't have to go 21 defense+ Dorans shield to hope of surviving the laning phase? and that Karma isn't a oneshot once people get close to her?

Sona only retains some merit because of her ult, but even that isn't as amazing as it used to be...
Thanks to Koksei for the sig!
