Zeke is an awesome support item if you have a strong carry that can make use of it. Otherwise you can usually spend your gold more wisely (i.e. Frozen Heart or Randuin, depending on what your jungle/top has taken).

Athene and Shurelia help your longevity, but they are too selfish to be really viable. As support you should bring on the table as much useful auras as it`s possible. Generally you go boots and GP5, then Aegis -> Zeke and/or Shurelia -> another aura item if game still lasts. I wouldn`t bother with potions before like 35-40 minute of the game.

As for rankeds, learning how to ward and counterward is supports` bread and butter here. So this will be probably the biggest change :P You will also probably have to adjust your skill order and start getting Q points early for lane harass.

Tbh, I can`t understand how do you consider Sona`s speed "abysmal". She is rather quick with constant E boosts. Get boots for CDR or mercs.
