Sona is fucking useless.

I bought her, played her once and not gonna pick her b4 shes gets buff.

You can't do any damage, its worse than soraka.

You can't spam ur abilitys

Your squishy as hell.


You're pretty...wrong. I bought her, and have been playing her exclusively since then. Such a fun and effective support character.

I've been trying to perfect a build. I like the idea of getting a Tear of the Goddess early so you can build a mana pool for late game, but it doesn't help you be any more effective in the early game.

As for spamming abilities, get blue buff. Golem+ToG or Archangels=huge mana increase.

i think that guy was trolling, because i havent seen a team with sona in ranked lose yet. Ive been seeing a lot of horrible 1600+ people lately and guess who they all pick? Sona.

so thats how they got there.

she is absurdly strong, ive seen people build fucking triforce and innervating locket and still rape.


The sudden rise of locket udyr and locket sona really bug me. There's so many better items to be buying...

It doesnt seem that bad, atleast if you cant access golem buff, it will do ALOT of good tanking (even though you'd probally wanna get a Banshee's / FoN / Omen / sunfire instead...)
Seems like a "mana issue solver?"

Udyr never has mana problem as long as you auto attack with Turtle.
Tear/Staff is a better investment overall than Locket for Sona imo.

I try to play the game as if tl.net moderators were looking over my shoulder. I don't succeed all the time, but it's worth the effort.

Keeps me from saying a lot of things that I would later regret.

Also irritates my teammates when I tell them not to troll so hard

I play the same way, well kinda. I always like to have manners, unless im in vent. I swear my head off in vent.

Soraka

Better Burst Healing

Better consistent CC/Breaker

Higher Damage Potential

Better Auto-Attack for Zoning

Less Mana Problems

Sona

Better support overall (her auras are really good)

AoE CC Ultimate

Better at Chasing without a summoner spell/item

Here is the math assuming level 10…over 15 seconds with no items

VS 30 Magic Resist

Soraka:
Starcall 3s CD
Starcall Hit 1 (vs 30 MR) = 180 x 0.77 = 139
Starcall Hit 2 (vs 22 MR) = 180 x 0.82 = 148
Starcall Hit 3 (vs 14 MR) = 180 x 0.88 = 157
Starcall Hit 4 (vs 06 MR) = 180 x 0.93 = 166
Starcall Hit 5 (vs -02 MR) = 180 x 1.02 = 184

Infuse 15s CD
Infuse Hit 1 (vs -02 MR) = 250 x 1.02 = 255

Total Damage over 15 seconds = 1053 Magic Damage (assuming 0 autoattacks)

Sona
Crescendo 60s+ CD
Crescendo Hit (vs 30 MR) = [150 + 12 (aura AP ratio)] x 0.77 = 125

Hymn of Valor 7s CD
Hymn of Valor Hit 1 (vs 30 MR) = [270 + 12 (aura AP ratio] x 0.77 = 217
Hymn of Valor Hit 2 (vs 30 MR) = [270 + 12 (aura AP ratio] x 0.77 = 217

Assume 1 Hit Power Chord (vs 30 MR @ lvl 10) = 144 x .77 = 111

Total Damage over 15 seconds = 670 Magic Damage

Since 1053 > 670

Soraka does more damage than Sona Total.


Regarding Locket: Sona shouldn´t need it. She needs Mana, yeah but there are plenty sources for that. She however never should need more HPregen than her W provides her, as squishy as she may be there is NO reason for her to put herself in danger.

lol, so if we assume 30 MR and 5 hits, the one that reduces MR into the negative area at point blank range wins out... SHOCKING! Stop the presses everyone! If you stand in starcalls forever with base 30 MR, you get raped!

sona's just a way better poker. she deals her damage in a practical burst for a support hero, whereas Soraka needs to sit in the middle of their team spamming Q without dying for a long period of time to actually out damage sona.
