Sona items:
-> the 185gold mana reg thing and wards - depending on matchup - if there (A) is a good leona, alistar or blitz I go for boots or ruby crystal if there is a sustain support I go for the gold/10 item after that i get boots -> ruby crystal and ruby crystal( second ruby if (A) is on, if not then kindlegem and then ruby crystal) after that build aegis if your jungler does it not or zeke.
upgrade to shurelias if you feel its needed

sometimes laning phases are pretty aggressive, usually get kills, back, or shove lanes than backing, I'll delay getting chalice until after first big support item. but if lane phases are really extended, I either get 3rd gp10, or the chalice after hog. lol 3rd gp10 you are real funny. are useful items not fun to buy or something? better waste gold on items that give no stats!

Can we please not talk abaout gp/10s. QQ

Someday people will realize that actually letting support have a creep wave now and then, or letting them clear Wraiths when they're otherwise doing nothing is more effective than buying worthless items.
Or people can continue to pretend banking 500 gold toward their next item that they're not going to spend for another 5-10 minutes is more effective than letting a support have that gold now for immediate wards.
Then again, it took like 5 years for the whole "support farm" thing to get off the ground in DotA, so I guess I shouldn't hold my breath for it.

Facepalmed today when my AP player was scolding our support for having 40 CS. "Soraka, you shouldn't have stolen any creeps from our AD"

Support jayce only jayce farm jungle so easy with basic levels and sufficient mana. btw bly the mana manipulator is just hella cute but realistically it wont get u anywhere big until real teamfighting and map control with a soul shroud. manipulator is a lot safer for using spells to try and stay in the lane last hitting vs a stronger opponent/lane composition. Rubt crystal wont save you if you really are caught in soma bad place or combo.(mostly sona... maybe jayce too)
Edit:wao phone suck type gg
edit2: or if you have a commanding position in the lane naturally (strict matchups and combinations) and you feel like you're a better player and can allow your team to win faster (snowballll desu)

I'am very tempted to get philo on her early like every game, but most of the time it is a suboptimal choice. HP regen is like the worst stat on sona against most lanes. Manaregen and raw HP are the things you really really need to win or get even in lanes. You can get away with rushing philo sometimes in lane when you get a huge advantage and they cannot burst you, but then chances are their ap carry will just 1 shot you during midgame engagements. Sona is not a very good disengagement support like janna and soraka are, you need to poke with Q as much as you can squeeze in during engagements and her ult is a better initiation tool than a disenagement tool as you want to hit as many poeple as possible with it, so you are prone to AoE and burst damage. Having a good chunk of HP along with manaregen is what makes you do that. I still make philo after I have at least 1 ruby. Rubys can be built into the three best items on her: shureilas, aegis and shroud. Shroud is like the best lategame item on sona because it is very efficient for raw HP manaregen and CDR which are your prefered stats. I even get it over aegis along with shureilas sometimes as you can only finish 2 items anyways in 99% of the games. What do you think of Chalice/Stark's on Sona? Oh and a lot of junglers get Aegis first these days (Many Lee, Shen, Shyvana, Mundo do it), so you can afford to buy something else as support. But you do not get any GP/10? Or do you get HoG/Pick?
I don't like hog on sona as the 20hp are simply too expensive on that item. More than 1 gold item is overkill except you are banking on a huge item in the lategame. I don't think sona needs that and I don't think she brings the basic survivability for her kit to be useful with only a hog as an HP item during the midgame.
Against alot of popular lanes that involve: ez, graves, leona, blitz, taric... you get what I mean... you simply should not ever rush philo except when you have a huge lead in your lane, such as +1 kill or +1levels each or +20CS on your carry or sth like that. If your lane is behind or only slightly ahead you will get bursted if you try get some kind of advantage or simply survive ult combos etc. I get philo only after I have a ruby crystal, boots and mb another crystal/dorans shield or boots +2. Then you have the very basic survibality to not get zoned/killed after a forced trade by taric/leona/etc.
Philo rush is basicly asking for trouble. On my other successful support leona I just initate on sonas who rush philo and it is a garantueed lane victory move if my ad carry follows it up with some damage and with ignite up sona is dead.
I would love to rush HoG on her though but this item is so cost inefficient that it hurts my intelligence to get it anyways.
As for 'rushing' shureilas: At the time you get that item the ganking phase started allready. There is no regular laneing anymore and you definitely make use of that precious aoe ghost.

most of the time it is more useful to have a huge amount of wards on sona so you can poke into brush and see what is happening everywhere because you generally want to push the lane with sona in your lane. That said I'am opening the manaregen thing + tons of wards + manapot/healpot/both. As I said I make philo->shureilas after having enough HP and boots and manareg is extremely important on sona as well.

Wow, If this wikia page is right Kha gets a 4.1 Ad ratio on his whole kit. Not to mention he can just scoot away cloaked after dealing all this damage like nothing is wrong.
His q's evolution will be INSANE on ganks the 12% missing will come up after 3.5 seconds to end out a huge damage gank. You can't flash away from him because hes got 2 gap closers and a 35% slow that may last 6 broken seconds while dealing out tons of damage while tons of damage are tons of damage tons of damage damage tons of.

Shaco and Twitch feel neglected, you might want to walk with your back to the wall the next days.

If what is happening as he described in his post, third gp/10 seems perfectly fine to me. If I find myself with stolen kills or a lot of assists, I always grab a pick and just sit on it all game. You lose philo stone eventually, so that way you should have the same gold intake as you would with just philo+hog until shurleya's, but for the entire game.

Riot is out of their mind with stealthy tanky bursty assassins.
Btw can we get an AP item with movespeed like PD has and a strong item with stacks like BT has? What's up with that lol?
