WHY DO PEOPLE BUILD SONA LIKE AN AP NUKE?

[quote=JunSupport]@kiunch: AD Sona's stupid funtime building. This thread's about viable builds.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Let's see... AP Nuke is [b]inferior[/b] to a good 50/50, AP/Support. Full AP Sona is usually inferior [i]unless[/i] you get forced to mid or, if you need a little more AP damage. Full AP Sona heals better while dealing more damage but it's not as impressive due to it being more spread out.[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]It's probably because Elementz recommends it. "I believe AP Sona is your best bet. Her damage for a support with AP is actually pretty high and it also makes her heals way more potent. Get like a RoA, DCap and you'll be surprised at the damage you can deal. As for skill order I am a fan of maxing Q and chunking people in lane with it. Sometimes maxing W first is a priority depending on if you're getting owned or not. " Not my opinion, but a lot of people try to copy what high ELO players do.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@Zeprido: I don't even play Sona. Theorycrafting to screw with people is fun. ;)[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]Neither do I >:)[/quote]

[quote=Slowjack]Why don't I build Sona that way? Because I don't like being an aura beacon. I genuinely think it's a waste of a 5v5 spot. I'm sure someone will come along and say something to the effect of, "One person with all those auras is a huge benefit to the team." and they'll supply some numbers about how it's better for one person to be the aura bitch so that carries can buy their Deathcap/IE that much sooner. I still don't buy it. If it was so helpful, every game would feature an aura beacon on both sides. Aegis, WotA and MTreads are the only items out of that screenshot that I'd spend money on. All 3 of which are quite situational. Further, when it comes to survivability, there are better items to buy for each damage type. MR? Abyssal Sceptre. Phys? Frozen Heart. HP? RoA. 2/3 provide AP as well, so you aren't sitting there with a bunch of auras and useless watered down abilities. "But Sona is an aura based champ!!" I know. I think her and Lux are the only two champs I went through the trouble to buy all the skins for. Still doesn't change the fact that I'd go with my usual, "Tear, Boots, Mejai" start up and fill in the other pieces later rather than just commit myself to aura beacon for the entire game. Boring.[/quote]

[quote=SexyWoodenSpoon]Specify your role, please and thank you. Don't mind ap sona, just let people know your role! So that if this happends, let people have a chance to not have more sad games. Example: "Im jungling" -Karthus says and picks up smite/locks in. "?!" DODGE DODGE DODGE[/quote]
