Talk:Sona/@comment-25347775-20140825165517

Am I the only one that thinks the rework was a massive nerf? Her old cooldowns of 7/7/7 for q/w/e were much lower, and powerchord q did double dmg as opposed to +50%. The shield is nice, but sona has always been a sustain/poke lane as opposed to an all in lane. I'm assuming they gave her the ap scaling utility on w and e to attempt to buff her, but support sona is usually not built ap like annie/zyra/morg. Most of the ttime its utility like mobility boots, sighstone, mikaels, censer, locket and a situational item. The most ap i get would be a lich bane, which now sucks because old sona had 7 sec cd's wth 2 sec internal cd's matching lichbane almost perfectly while the new cd's sorta mess that up. Also, they took away ALL of her free stats, which imo is a huge nerf to her lategame strength, aka being a walking pseudo-baron buff with a large aoe stun.

tl:dr

I think riot crippled Sona's most popular build (utility) with nerfs to her base damage and cooldowns
