Should Sona be nerfed?

Asked by LordDecius on January 12, 2015

My main bet for a win as support is Sona. I barely even have to put in any effort to end up with a score like (10/1/27), and I am no professional. When I play against her, I get smeared all over the Rift's floor. I know there are ways to counter her, but is she too strong with her Q and R to be a buff granting support? Perhaps a nerfing is in order, even though I would have to find a new main...

No, although she has been nerfed on PBE (Q damage + base movement speed) and might get nerfed live once the patch deploys.

, pretty much like her boobs, is like a balloon that you can pop easily. She is pretty nice as a poke champion (Sona/Caitlyn is a really strong poke lane), but she falls a bit short to as fishlady can also poke and has more relavant CC in my opinion, even if can be really strong.

The key to laning against sona is picking a support with hard engage/bursty ADC or preferably both. + // can aggressively take her out or zone her if your adc isn't stupid and doesn't eat every single Q while the leona player misses all of her combos.

Sona isn't OP in the slightest, she's just annoying.

There's a "context on Sona nerfs" note somewhere after last patch on Surrender@20. They say her Q damage is too high and that she doesn't allow a lot of response in lane due to her MS, while not wanting to hit her HP/Resistances.

She's not top tier at all, so idk why Riot is concerned about this. I guess too many ?

Is she really getting nerfed? She's not even considered to be top tier, is she?

Guessing the MS nerf might maybe entice people to get E earlier than level 10 now, and thus delay heal and Q.
