[quote=GrandmasterD]Is it just me, or does the new [[sona]] look the same like the old [[Sona]]? Instead of resistances you get a shield, okay that's better. Instead of AD and AP, we get magic damage on AAs, I suppose that's okay. Ult passively improves power chords. I see improvements but I see no real change of gameplay here.[/quote]

Basically they just made her less of a walking stat-stick.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Precisely. Edit: You're right, I should rephrase that. They changed [[Sona]] from a stationary Stat-Stick into a walking Stat-Stick.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]except she doesnt even give stats anymore... this rework is completely unnecessary and just once again shows how riot has no ideas what they are doing.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=caucheka]except she doesnt even give stats anymore... this rework is completely unnecessary and just once again shows how riot has no ideas what they are doing.[/quote] I think she could use a rework, but this isn't a rework, yet they're acting like it is one. Maybe a solace for Sona players; she'll probably end up overbuffed and therefore broken.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]I cringe and hit my head on my desk every time that Riot uses that bullshit, ego-fodder word "marksman" for ADC's. Get your own terms right, Riot.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Can we all all agree that my personal term for them; "Projectile-Monkies" is far more fitting?[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]I just find the term to be stupid. I mean, what's "Marksman" about an ADC? Your primary damage output is done automatically for you WITHOUT you having to aim. Most abilities are autolock/utility/stat boost. Like Just. Come on Riot, not EVERY champion is Ezreal. Lucian is autolock. Caitlyn is REALLY autolock, vayne is autolock, Jinx doesn't really matter because her shit is easy to land, varus is the same deal. Come on Riot, just call them ADCs and not "OH WOWO THEY'RE ACCURATE! :B".[/quote]
