Feedback on my Sona Build

[quote=Viola Orpheus][quote=A Chubby Baby] not bad. very standard sona build. [/quote] Thank you for the feedback. :) [quote=Jpikachu1999] Support requires quite a bit of map awareness, which believe me, I still don't have a whole ton of :3 If you are low on mana, try telling your teammate to play more passively so that you can give your mana regen time to restore your mana. Or you could keep spamming a bunch, and just recall at a safe situation.[/quote] I honestly don't have a ton of map awareness as well. XD That's sort of the thing, not everyone does listen though. Maybe every now and then they'll be more conservative, but most of the randoms I end up laning/defending/rushing with want kills, kills and more kills. [quote=Jpikachu1999] I'm blind, you totally do have [[Banshee's Veil]]. The [[Quicksilver Sash]] is very situational, but if you have good reaction time, it can be good against CC heavy teams. Most importantly, you should get it when they have a lot of CC, and you are getting focused by the CC. Generally, here's the rule of thumb: 4 or more Hard CC = Maybe, depends on how long their duration and which ones, but if it's something like Shen's [[shadow Dash]] that can be devastating. 4 or more Hard CC + 3 or more Soft CC = Probably, as you are likely to get hit by at least 2 and getting hit by them would be crippling. Suppressions and/or long duration CC = Definitely. Suppressions can only removed by [[Quicksilver Sash]], and are usually extremely devastating as you can literally do [b]nothing[/b]. Long duration CC, like Fiddle's [[Terrify]], Rammus's [[Piercing taunt]], or Galio's [[Idol of Durand]] are pretty powerful and generally will kill you without a [[Quicksilver Sash]]. [/quote] I'll be sure to keep that in mind. In accordance to having a good reaction time, my main problem really isn't my reaction time, but it's my internet. It's nothing fantastic since I have at least 200-350 ms for latency (Which isn't bad), but sometimes it'll randomly give me a massive lag spike, if not disconnect me during an initiation for a/during the team fight or gank. And that usually ends up with me and/or my teammates dead unless they're really good. -_-[/quote]

There are two things you can do then. 1) Spam a bunch and recall often for mana, or 2) Pick a more aggressive support such as [[Taric]] or [[Leona]]. [[Sona]] can get a bunch of kills and stuff, but she's not like [[Taric]] or [[Leona]] in that aspect. [quote=Viola Orpheus] I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

It's better to get [[Banshee's Veil]] for you then, as it doesn't need to be manually clicked. Death to lag spikes! Anyways, I might drop in again sometime, but I think I've given you most of my advice. Good luck :D[/quote]

Although I honestly didn't really enjoy playing as either of the two at the time, I might give [[Leona]] a run again sometime in the future since I have a friend who is great with her and keeps telling me to try her out again.

And thank you again for taking your time to give feedback kind sir! :D[/quote]

[quote=Viola Orpheus]Gave myself a few weeks to try out everyone's suggestions and I updated the build on the first page. Further feedback is definitely helpful. :)[/quote]
