Looong quote but here we go:

First of all: The problem is that there is and should be no build for Sona for every game. So either I present a full build that doesn't represent the idea of adapting to the game at all or I generate a huge situational items list that no normal player would look at. Or I try a workaround that tries to show a pool of items that you can choose from. I think I have to make myself more clear about this idea because comments show me atm that the concept is not clear enough.

The song is there because people need it. You however should not have read this part because you don't need to do it. I warned about it in the chapter between and it is useful indeed if you are a less experienced player. Since you already know the basic stuff you got no eye for what's new. I see so much Ezreals getting free Q damage in a fight that I might mention it is actually a skillshot that you should block. The list goes on.

Items: There are no Black Cleaver etc. in the build since I am currently working on the item section due to a lot of changes from the patch. I did that even before your post w.e. guide you were looking at. Mejai's Soulstealer is as mentioned a focus item and works very effective. It's not about the AP it's about the bait. Soul Shroud is not existent at all? Frozen Mallet is effective against characters that ignore your silly Power Chord because of their massive CC reduction e.g. Irelia, Trundle etc. etc. I'm absolutely sure you didn't try it, otherwise you wouldn't argue that your 0,5 sec (tenacity op) slow will stop any kind of those bruisers. Simple a counter item.

You and I cannot and should not judge over my capabilities of supporting with Sona. The comment is even more ridiculous since you never have seen me playing her. The only opinion I accept is from the guys that I support. Those told me I was the best support they have seen so far and told me to actually do a guide. Wasn't my idea and would never been.

Final word: This is a guide. Not an item build.

I totally agree with everything you said here. The tabs are really confusing and there is a bit too much text about a single stuff. How do you think someone can apply 90 tips for 1 spell during a teamfight ( example )?

I also don't like your tab "Your Song Book - Tactics and builds against individual champions". Like I said before, having 20+ tips for each champion will confuse a player during a fight. Besides, if you have any skill at all, you should already know by yourself what spells they have and what actions you have to do against them ( except if you're not level 5 - even then, so much tips are also too much for them ).
It would look like this ( example: vs Ahri ):
Don't waste Crescendo for , oh wait what? No! As soon as team fights begin purchase an Oracle's Elixir. Akali is not easy ... This ain't Akali! Aegis of the Legion counters Cursed Touch...You can body block Spirit Rush as ... Mana Barrier is a very strong passive ....Due to his magic AOE abilities and on hit effects, it is .. Missile Barrage has a small AOE ...You can bait Darius really well... OMG WHERE IS THE TIP I NEED?
- You need to give the most important tips ( 3 - 5 of them max ) so that someone who is not so good at "scanning" an opponent can easily make a plan before making a move.


And really, Black Cleaver on Sona? ._. Wasting that much money just to bring down someone's armor is so not worth it. You have AD carries or top lanes that will handle the armor penetration with, for example Last Whisper.
Executioner's Calling - Hell no.
Malady - ???
Mejai's Soulstealer - We're not on level 10
Soul Shroud - I don't recommend it anymore because there are so much better Supporting items than this one. Ultimately, the only one who can actually benefit from this in your team is AP Carry and he should get Blue Buff instead.
Frozen Mallet - Ha??? You have your power chord dude.

___________________________________________________________
Sure, Soraka can heal more. But can she heal every 4 seconds multiple targets? - She is not a viable support I don't know why you even mentioned her.

Sure, Leona got more CC. But can she do anything else? Can she make people dance? - She can do a lot. You can't escape from her. -No, but she can make them burn in solar flare.

Sure, Taric provides more armor. But can he speed up and stun entire teams? - Shurelya's Battlesong. And yes, once you get stunned by Taric on bot lane, I don't think you're going to lose less than 70% HP.

In my opinion, I don't think you're even a good Sona. You just wrote bunch of random stuff that came out of nowhere. Good Sona doesn't need 700 tips for every champion to know what to do. Not to mention your item build.



Not sure if this is true, but there are so many trolls on Mobafire so I don't see any reason why to not trust you.

Best regards,

Well i missed another item and order and other items :s.

Getting downvotes sucks...

Edit: 10 different builds with walls and walls of text with less than 20 tabs to find your way around this guide, and the tabs are horrible. I am sure there is lots of good information in here but it is so disorganized with the tabs reading "Every music has it's price..." which is cute but once again fails to help people navigate your guide; infact the only way to even know what you were meaning when you wrote that would be to go there and read it- more confusion no order. There is only one way to read your guide and that is from start to finish and even that seems out of order.

Note regarding the author of this guide:

He randomly downvotes any other guide that competes against his own. When asked why he responds with;

"I don't like color in guides..."


This guy is a mad troll voter and his guide shouldn't be read by anyone. He edits his responses so it might read different when you read it.

I'll leave this here as a warning for all those looking at his guides and those who might think about voting themselves: don't support trolls.

Thanks,

He has an entire list of items that make no sense on supports and the only one you notice is Malady? oO

The advice in this guide is just bad.

A player who has never played Sona before would not benefit from being shown every item in the game with statements about how the items can all be useful on her. Truth be told, a guide-maker who wants to list a million items usually means that they don't really know wtf they're doing. ~.~

Build Executioner's Calling if Ahri builds Will of the Ancients = Wtf??? If that's the idea, supports should always build Executioner's Callings because AD carries always build Blood Thirsters...

And "if the AD carry doesn't have Flash..." Wtf? At what ELO does the AD carry not take Flash?

Great, but i would kinda disagree with using Malady, since you wouldn't have anytime auto attacking the enemies when you're busy taking care and saving your AD carry. Still nice guide, has a lot of potential to be on top, Just try to make it more attractive and less confusing ^^
