Shhhhhh! *whispers* I agree, but don't say that too loud people will yell at you. XD lol
she (as in I) says from experience>>

She looks like she should be more of a Sona style build heavy on the AP, vs Taric or Soraka who typically (at least in Tournament play) are CDR heavy with some GP5s and wards out the ear holes. Then again I've seen Sona's build CDR and GP5s; kinda makes me wince. AP for Sona (as we all know) Means great heals and epic damage for a support champ.
Kindlegem Sona: 27.7 hps.
Blasting Rod Sona: 27 hps.
If we throw in a Kage's, CDR Boots, and 3/6/21 masteries, then we get...
Kindlegem Sona: 38.8 hps.
Blasting Rod Sona: 36.4 hps.
Not to mention that Kindlegem gives you health.
Tri lane for life.

Stupid unoriginal people...
Yeah, math is ******ed.
I should quit being as good as i can possibly be, and being an efficient healer, just so i can have more fun.
Winning the game isn't fun, it's all about seeing the big shiny numbers!
CDR > AP Sona.
Don't want to hear the "but Q hits harder".
It hits NOTICEABLY softer, considering the CDR build gives you many more Chords, and it doesn't scale well enough to warrent stacking AP for bigger poke.
If you want to do damage as Sona, gunblade + Triforce is probably your best bet. (Hybrid, not AP.)

And if one of the pros started playing and raping with AP Sona y'all would jump on that bandwagon in a minute...

I would probably say something to the effect of "all characters are viable, some just aren't as good as others" a good example is AD Morde.
It's very similar to AD Sion in it's playstyle, but he's a bit more sturdy if he isn't being focused.
But, the whole "a pro is doing well with X champion using X build" argument, is like trying to say that Morde is Tier 1 because when he has 100 more CS than the entire enemy team combined, he can 1v5.
As a support, CDR Sona > AP Sona, in terms of raw mathematics.

By that argument y'all should be playing AP/CDR Soraka like I do...since she heals huge amounts more...(the math ought to be obvious)
Either you care about the math or you don't, this whole "sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't" **** is ridiculous.
Does this mean me not building manamune on Corki because it fits my play-style makes me a bad player? I'd hope not. Because we should all play how/what we feel like (Im not saying completely ridiculous like AD soraka which still apparently pwns). Raw mathematics lends itself to theory crafting in which people CRAFT THEORIES as to how a champ should be built to maximize it's affective potential. That does NOT MEAN because one or the other is marginally better that we should all go play that way. Why? Because then we end up in this weird place where creativity does not exist. Everyone simply min/maxes EVERYTHING to no end until we are essentially playing ourselves in a game of LoL.
Who gives two ***** if "CDR SONA" heals more by an extremely small margin. I know which one will most likely end up stealing a kill from me as she attempts to buff me/heal me/speed me up/stun the enemy etc etc.. And that's fine by me.
To summarize: Play however the **** you want because at the end of the day LoL is about having fun. Or it should be, not saying there isn't a place for those who seek the "ultimate" way to build champ X. But don't ****ing rain on someone else's parade because their groove just doesn't fit you and don't you dare ****ing do it (the raining part) in this thread which I made because I wanted to have a laugh. Looks like other people did too.
Side note....Maybe I should make "weekly" Q&A sessions with certain Riot Developers hmmmmmmm
