EPTThe thing about Sona (in my opinion) is that she has the best utility late game out of all the supports. Soraka and Taric feel significantly less noticable late game. Janna has some good moments, but nothing really compares to dat burst combined with the threat of her AoE stun winning a teamfight singlehandedly. Janna's ult can save a losing teamfight, but Sona's can turn a losing one into a victory ezpz.

With heal, it should literally be impossible for the enemy duo to kill sona without getting 2 for 1ed. Taric has (or at least, had) equivalent burst to Sona back before they gutted him, especially with the aid of an AD carry like MF, Sivir or Graves. He still kind of does, because Taric/MF and Taric/Sivir are still things. If he were to get returned to a place where his Q, W and R weren't all shitty versions of good abilities, he'd be fine competing with Sona. | ||

Unless the Sona mispositions, taric has to walk up to sona or anyone to stun, and in that time he can get E chorded, Q chorded, E and Q chorded, ulted, and kited to death. The burst is not the same realistically even if the total damage do match. | ||

Thats because Lee Sin is like the worst possible champion for his style. You NEED to be constantly farming with him in order to scale past level 2, but all TOO does is gank. The key with LS is to identify ganks that will end in kills, and just farm the rest of the time. TOO doesnt do that. He just throws ganks at the wall until something sticks. | ||

Also he kept letting Regi steal wraiths when he was already really behind. | ||

Consequently he becomes far too underfarmed and always ends up going wriggles -> 3 dorans and becomes irrelevant past the midgame. | ||

I'm sure theoddone is aware he should only gank when it can result in a kill but when enemy laners get better, it becomes harder to pull off successful ganks. Whatever he does wrong is not theoretical. Then why is Diamondz and SV Lee Sin so much better than TOO's? Its because they know how to farm the jungle and he doesnt. And come level 3 if you arent constantly farming you WILL lose the game by being 3 levels back and having no items. As you said, it becomes harder to pull off ganks as lanes get better. The answer ISNT to throw more ganks at lanes and see what sticks. Its to sit back and farm and wait for actual opportunities and to force fights at buffs and dragons. | ||
