I've played a ton of sona since season 3, and I feel that she won't shine while leona/thresh/annie are so dominant in the botlane right now, but once frostfang gets buffed a little she'll probably see more play. I feel as though season 4 shifted her power curve a lot since once you get 40% cdr and some ap or auras, you outclass the other popular botlane picks in terms of utility (the addition of the ap ratio to her E lets her essentially have a small talisman every few seconds). However, high level play in the botlane currently revolves around strong all-ins at early levels, and while sona can fight well at early levels she cannot handle the all in of a leona, etc. Start with a dorans shield and take some tanky masteries to help mitigate these weaknesses, and you may have more success with her. Her burst is still very strong, and building a little bit of movespeed like twin shadows can help her survivability a lot.
