Are you joking? With Lich Bane she's a burst monster... 500ap = 600dmg Q ~115 auto attack damage 500 Lich Bane damage 352 Staccato damage

That's a total of 1567 damage before armor/MR. And she can do that EVERY FOUR SECONDS. Add another one-time bonus of 750 if you use Crescendo. Dropping a squishy in one round of casts isn't damage?

Is CDR important on Sona? Yes, it's absolutely the most important stat. If you think Sona can't do damage then you've never played her right and have never seen her played right by anyone else. I'm assuming you think she is a healer...I don't know why ANYONE would think she's a healer. Look at how much her heal does...175+0.3xAP? Fucking GARBAGE. Even Kayle's heals are better. Taric's rank 4 heals for more than Sona's rank 5, Soraka's rank 3 heals for more than Sona's rank 5...both have 3x better AP ratios to boot. If Sona's not for DPS then what exactly is she for? Cause aside from her auras, DPS is the only thing she can do. You're stupid if you think the fact that they have a "support" tag means they can't do damage. Kayle is tagged as support when she's better as DPS (hence why she's also tagged bruiser). Taric is tagged as support; he can fill any role effectively. The tags for most champs mean nothing...older champs have gone through such extensive changes that the tags don't even match their roles anymore. Since her rework last month I consistently top the Damage Dealt chart with Sona...I don't get a lot of kills because she's straight burst, but if that's not doing damage, I don't know what is.
