But her Q is weaker damage wise, AFAIK. Powerchord does half damage and Q deals only, max level, 80 + 25% AP. The cooldown is increased as well, so less poke. :-/

And well, Sona's not the strongest support healer, and it has now a 10 second cooldown. Her shield is not that great either, 1.5 seconds? Janna's shield has a duration of 5, Thresh's 4, Karma's 4, Lux's 6... And they're all stronger too.

Of course, heal AND a shield at the same time is nice, the shield goes away too quickly and reduces very few damage.

However, I can see a W for shield into Q+AA to poke without fearing much damage, because of the shield. Again, the numbers just seem too low, to me.

I always liked the good pokey Sona, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. This one delivers less damage for a little bit more utility... Hey, I liked the 12 to 15 armor buff. :P
