OP here, besides that i'm not asking Riot (they do what they want to do regardless of my opinion, and that's fine d:) - i'm more interrested on opinions of Sona players.

the thing is, it's already popular to get a HoG instead of rushing Philo and additionally to that she can just keep her W aura (even if it's lv1) on and just use Q for trading/harrassing, mitigating most if not all of the "nerf". So she's basically not loosing out on much if anything D:

and also, who would remotely care about AD/AP Sona? (while on Master Yi, AP Yi isn't the exotic but actually the main build for Master Yi)

if instead they would've increased her Mana Costs on Q/R, so her overall harrass would go down to reasonable levels and she'd have to go more for the burst scenario's (which she can actually do quite well) - this would also enable non-sustain lanes (Blitzcrank) to be more of a counter to her.
