Sona is one of those champions that is annoying as hell to play against when she's strong. I don't miss the days when Sona was in every damn game.

Meh, I guess my support pool went down by one, going to take a little time to learn new Sona.

No big deal though, Riot gave me OP mustache man a couple months ago, so I guess it's a fair trade.

But honestly, the fact you have to stick close to your allies makes me feel like I'm playing as goddam Pix.

I am not a sona player but having played with the new sona a bit there are two things that jump out at me. One is that people still seem to just spam the auras which is weaker now and not what I think Riot wants given their posts on the remake. The second is that her ult animation is SO much clearer and consistent with its area of effect which I LOVE.

i've had the new CLG coach on my f list from season 2 to season 3 and he used to grind even more games than me while hanging around at 1800 elo ish. He played on a lot of teams but afaik never had any real competitive 5s experience. He used to spam rammus but would play multiple roles. I'm really curious how they picked him, not that there are any coaches who are actually qualified except for the ones who've coached before. He was a nice guy from what I remembered but I didn't really talk to him, was one of those guys I added from a random solo queue game but would never accept my normal invites.

CLG coach as in Montecristo? Or is there another coach?

there's a new "inhouse" coach now

also lol @ reddit thread, why is it harder to autoattack things now. RTS/moba mechanics 101, don't right click to attack.

those people need to watch some kwanro fpvods where he a-clicks enemy zerglings attacking his drones in zvz.

I remember during that game I purposely took the Q aura and used the buff to autoattack a minion (I think his Sona was level 12 or something). I did a grand total of fucking 83 extra damage. My mind was blown.

I haven't looked at it, but target recognition is legit fucked for a while.

Theoretically they are fixing the bug where you can zhonyas when CC changes. i wonder if this will affect flashing between CCs as they seem to have wanted that in place.

Also use ~ if you are after champions, or else you pull a doublelift and auto a pink during a baron fight.

Honestly Riot should just completely remove cc buffering. It was a stupid thing to implement in the first place and is one of the worst things about the game imo.

Riot's stated reason for wanting it in the game is to make it easier on players with high ping/lag to be able to react to cc, which is a worthy goal, but it ultimately causes a shitton of other problems that have significant impact on the game. Chain cc'ing is almost impossible unless you stack cc and waste cc duration. CC buffering also causes bugs like the Lissandra ult bug where the target manages to move after you ult them.

It would also help reduce the power of mobility, which is something this game needs.

It's not a bad thing when implemented properly. The problem comes from the current implementation where chain CC pretty much doesn't work unless you have like 200+ms overlap. Trouble is, it totally fucks low latency games where you can easily react in time to spam flash or riftwalk or like khazix jump or something like that.

Yeah, it's been a long while since I've seen sub 100 ping, so no. Riot needs to fix that shit.

Funny story is I often have lower ping to EUW every now and then. At times like that, NA becomes my 3rd ranked server when it comes to ping.

Probably because they moved servers to Amsterdam (?) since then I have even much lower ping. I used to have ~65ms.
