I suggest you don't go AD on Sona. Yeah it can be done but unless you build tanky AD items like FM or Hexdrinker (for MR) you're going to die wayyyyy too easy and since you won't be building AP your heal won't help you survive as much. I guess a trinity force would help balance your ad/ap/as but then your missing stuff in order to help you survive. I mean I think the only way you could do well is if you farm like crazy and get some early kills to build some tanky items+ life steal but I just don't see right clicks outweighing her abilities with AP. I feel like with an AD build you'll just be missing something at all times since her ratios aren't good and no abilities scale with AD. But go for it it's just not going to be effective and is a waste of a champs ability kind of like an AD veigar build or a Shen who doesn't build health items.
