i dont roam an awful lot and i value teamfighting a lot more than i do warding

getting into position for ult, well its a small help but I wouldn't place it higher than cdr boots value

Seems like a reasonable portion of the time that you're trying to maneuver into crescendo position, you're 'in combat' anyway and mobility boots aren't going to be super helpful. Or you're flash-ulting.

There are supports that really can abuse mobility boots, but with sona's only CC being her ult, she just doesn't seem like one of them.

mobility is good on initiators like blitz taric leo who have spammable cc. i even buy them on janna sometimes but sona is more like a poke champ, often in sight of the ememies and often next to some allies. doesnt sound like mobility helps much there.

I almost always get mercs sooner or later on all supports. Can't afford to die and leave the noobs alone to feed ^^ In the past I got lucid,mob & sorc sometimes. Staying alive is just worth to much in my oppinion.

Ps. sona is probably my favorite support, ez to play well & high utility ; I like nami to and she gets picked a lot in high level play

I liked mercs a lot more in season 2. Season 3 they don't really seem to help that much compared to being able to mash all the buttons more frequently. Mobos are okay in certain situations, but cdr boots tend to be the superior option.

if you are dying on support because of chain cc you are probably getting caught dont do that

cdr are definitely just better than sorcs even if the damage is a bit lower (dps doesnt count as much as burst from my experience) having R up a bit earlyer during early-mid is a huge difference. tabi and cdr boots should be as slayers guide suggest the best options for sona in most cases. I also want to mention that the lvl 2 boots upgrade in general is very beneficial in lane, often more than just having hp or regen just because you get some more Qs off and you dodge some more stuff with a ms advantage.

I also tried out the armor marks as you suggest in your guide. It's good. But I like my double penetration marks a bit more. I played around with runes quite alot and It seems like doublepen marks and even quints are pretty huge on sona. I never feel having not enough gold on her anyways.

i tend to rush tabi against blitz or thresh to avoid hooks
never thought of doublepen marks/quints, probably most people wont have them anyway

So about that double pen runes, how about pushing it a bit by also adapting the masteries? Like so 14-0-16 with both pens masteries, which leaves you with enough points to get the gold masteries and ward/biscuit. I suppose you'll get really squishy, but i guess you can buy an early doran shield to counteract that. (hem, maybe it's not such a good idea since no gp10 runes might leave you gold constrained if the laning phase is rough)

sona has enough damage and her weakness is getting bursted down, its stupid to make yourself really squishy for a small % damage boost

Krepo does this a lot on melee supports, but I don't think it's necessary on a champ with decent range and a spammable heal.

I don't get see any reason why not to get it since you are typically trading with 2 other auto attacking champs
heal sustain is pretty minimal anyway

however i often just get philo simply because its a gp10 item as well as giving some regen and sona typically doesn't struggle vs 2x ranged set ups anyway
