I don't like those PBE Patch notes:

The changes to her base health and armor are nice, and since she was a balanced champion this requires her to be nerfed in another way, I agree this far.

So they hit her Passive - which is fine! The nerfs arent too big, her poke is now slightly weaker but still effective. A reasonable change.

BUT here comes the part i dont like, her W got hit massively, 25% duration decrease on debuff, 50% weaker stats for herself and healed ally, and 33%weaker team aura. So here the 3 things I'd have done differently:

1. The duration nerf doesent change anything, and just pushes Sona players even more towards always using the passive+Q, as trading with this just ends up being more effective. The Powerchord W was designed for an all out brawl in lane or to be used on the burst caster in team fights, in order to weaken the burst, as of now it does neither as the effect already was to weak, and Sona just dies before aplying it to anyone useful, change it to 20% for 5 or even 25% for 5. This gives Sona players a reason to use it.

2. Remove the bonus MR to healed allies entirely, 10mr/armor are pretty useless so why complicate it?

3. Keep the old team aura, 15 mr+def. Maybe change it so that she gets double the buff for herself (like many of the old champions grant half of their steroids to the team).

Why? Weaker Laning phase, where her W gave everyone in bot lane +35/+35, now it would be 30/30 for her and 15/15 for the adc. Poke stays pretty much the same as before. She now has more health than minions (yay). She ist still has her passive Aegis for teamfights, and can still take a hit with W on.

What do you think?
