I had one game where I played Sona and took 2 cs, my AD said "go fucking try to outfarm me faggot"
So I did.
AD Sona legit imo.
PS: FINALLY MY FIRST PENTA FUCK YES

Pfft I already had my first penta over a year and a half ago with master yi vs a team with 0 CC and got the final kill via fountaindive

She's extremely incredibly squishy while having no escape mechanism. She's got low base AD and base aspd scaling. She's got no proper AD steroid. She has no skills that scale with AD.
Basically the only thing she has going for her in terms of building AD is synergy with Triforce because of her passive.

her passive hits like a truck though. and her other abilities have utility and don't really need to do damage. i really like her auto animation and i have a really easy time last hitting with her. its nice having a slow and a ghetto heal, and q poke in lane. and her R is still really retarded good

yo steve protip from your best friend AD sona is super strong - try her from the jungle so you can run a legit AD carry too. wriggles zeal -> mass phantom dancers. she clears camps super fast, she has great dueling power thanks to passive and decent ganks (fantastic once ult is up) to boot. i don't know a good route, but i saw a guy go from like 1300 to basically 1800 playing nothing but jungle AD sona

my friend and I just trolled our team by picking ashe and janna, then going support ashe and ad janna. Carried, naturally.
I think ad support is the most fun troll in the game, besides maybe commander.

Nothing beats a trollteam of Nida, Sona, Soraka, Taric and Janna. So much healing going on lategame , you cant focus anyone down ever.

oooh i haven't tried jungling as sona yet. in the games i played today i successfully 1v1d a graves, sivir (both our ults LOL), and ezreal because i fucking smashed them in the face with power chord.
i've been going cloth+5 -> wriggles + zerkers + 1-2 dorans -> pd -> ie -> lw
...rofl. its so much fun, seriously try it. half the fun is being charismatic enough that your team doesn't freak out during champ select (4/4 on that front thx)
edit: any trip reports on solo top bruiser taric? :D

NO point-and-click spell in this game has 750 range, and coupled with a silence and good damage, it gave her insane lane control which snowballed super hard.
The 50 range nerf on her Q was by far the biggest nerf in her hotfix, but people underestimate range nerfs and how big of an impact they have.

Good patch here. The Viktor buff will be nice, vman will be happy. Sivir nerfs are good. Ashe buffs will definitely 100% make Ashe seen more often in solo q.

I think guitar or one of the TL A guys was running that quite a while back? They ran a full armor page and the idea was to win lane on pure armor, called it armor taric.

Yeah that's imba then, I didn't even remember o.O I didn't know it was 700 now, either.. I thought it was 650

niton and i heavily theorycrafted it and then tested it out. it was way better against AD mids. you basically just force the other person out of the lane completely, then lose the game because taric is bad, lol

Just had a 62 minutes game where they ran AD janna + xerath in the bot lane, obviously frustrating, and well we didn't play it very patiently so we died pretty often. In the end Tristana's range melted janna's face quite rapidly, no chance she was getting 1-2 auto's off before dieing. I'm guessing it's the same for Sona.

It might work against Garen because Garen is also bad, but unless Taric winds up changed/buffed in some way he's pretty much resigned to the gimmick role because he can't do anything mid/lategame.

at what rating and wich runes/masteries do you run with this?

Ziggs looks freaking amazingly fun, one aspect which will be sick fun is to use the explosives to deny enemy lasthitting. I wonder how he'll work out if you try going top with him, mana issues should be problematic.
