    I call Sona "the silent killer", she's like a scratch on your arm that if you ignore, can make your whole arm fall off. I love playing her precisely because of how much the enemy team always tends to underestimate her in the early game, until it's too late - she's scaled and turned into the most important member of the team that commands the fights. I love that you described understanding the point of her gameplay as "something that clicked one day" because that's exactly how it was for me too.

    Your explanation of the "peeling" felt a lot like when I got bored with trying out new supports and tested non-traditional supports. Turns out Yasuo has a hidden passive that casts "Taunt" on every enemy in range. That combined with Windwall and the old Zeke's Harbinger made him a formidable tank support who could also put out some damage.
    I love playing Sona, but damn they did her dirty by releasing Seraphine. And yes, this is an Arcade Sona profile pic.

      Unfortunately as a soraka you don't have the Sona ulti to get away from them.. yeah you can control enemy assassin movement with Soraka, but it isn't nearly as impactful as Sona kiting would be unless you get them bound and silenced without somehow dying in the process.
      Soraka generally is more about giving her team infinite sustain and really wishing that they actually do something with it instead of constantly running away with full hp.
      I swear there's some strange disease infecting league players currently which makes them completely unable to even attempt fighting enemy team until they just lose very slowly and it's driving me crazy as a fan of support role who really like trying to help their team do well instead of being a fake midlaner in support role without items. Voice communication would fix this, but I really really don't want to read what league players type on average game, let alone hear them speak.

    Sona, the "lane bully" that gets bullied by everyone else in lane
    I agree though, for such a simplistic and unassuming champion it's really satisfying to make use of her limited kit and playing to it's strengths, optimal usage of her power chords to turn the tides of a fight, using her ult to catch people who tried to get 1 last hit before backing away from your tower or just generally to win a tower dive feels great. Some lanes you don't get to do anything and just have to wait for late game, but being able to initiate fights and buff your entire team at once feels amazing.
    Great video and editing!

    I love Sona. At half a million points, it's my most played champion and I'm not embarrassed to say Sona and Janna have been carrying me to Diamond4 3 seasons in a row. BUT, one thing I always found weird is how disconnected with her thematic Sona is.
    Riot has been doing their best to tie gameplay with thematic. So when you play Caitlyn you fell like you are playing a sniper police, and when you play Rengar, you fell like you are playing a hunter assassin. When you play Sona, you don't fell like a magical singer. She doesn't really have a thematic identity like other champs. And I get it, she is a older champion, before Riot started to really try to tie gameplay with thematic. But you get it.

    My buddy happened upon this video of yours and immediately sent it to me. I've been playing League since season 4, started playing Sona in Preseason 5, and the rest is history. Currently MR 7, 748k points, and peaked Diamond 1 (mostly) one tricking Sona. The moment I saw the title and thumbnail, I just KNEW I had to watch it with him so that I will have a witness for the absolute madness of two souls being on the same wavelength. Before we hit play, I listed out some possible things you might talk about in this video. Lo and Behold, everything I mentioned, you ended up talking about in some way in your video. Never before had I seen or encountered anyone else who understood this champion as much as I think I do, even in the Sonamains Discord. I think you were able to perfectly sum up Sona's identity as a champion, as a support, and as a piece of scrap that has been neglected and abandoned by the developers for their shiny new pieces of scrap. I don't want to go into the nitty gritty of everything, about how much I agree with the salient points of your video, and how I disagree with some of your takes, but just know, that I sincerely respect you as a fellow Sona main who also started playing her because she's a borderline rip off of Hatsune Miku. Just know, that you've earned yourself a like and a sub my friend.

    As a Sona OTP with 1.5 million points, I can't say that untill this video came out, someone even came close to understanding Sona as a champion, you've described her really well, even the inting part, which my friend named "Sona sacrifice", she just pulls out a certain playstyle out of you, which in the end leaves you in control of the game. I've been a Sona main for the past 8-9 years of my life. Did I enjoy those 8-9 years? No, not really, because witch each patch, they killed my love more and more, and turned her into a champion she is today. Also, what I'd like to add, everyone assumes you're an E-GIRL, when you play Sona, so if you are losing, you have to use the chat or all chat to control the game, and disturbe enemy champions into giving yourself and your team the advantage to win. It also, doesn't hurt, to tilt your enemies early game, and you get camped and fucked entire game, because you have a lot of points, so you give openings to your jungle in other places. At the end of the day, Sona is the only reason I still enjoy LoL, and you give my baby justice!

    I liked this video a lot. As a Nami OTP a lot of what you said also applies to her- especially about synergizing with an ADC. Nami can so easily dominate a lane IF her ADC knows how to use her. A surprising number of people don't know how her E works; that it slows the enemy, that it procs on abilities, that Nami will get on-hit procs from them using it (including money + PoM). I imagine both Sona and Nami players have to develop that sense of when their ADC is FINALLY going to poke the enemy to pop their buff. So frustrating to lose what should have been an easy lane because my AD is just too far up their own ass, or playing insanely safe into a lane I know we can win. That's why I thought it was so funny so many of those clips included a Caitlyn- she really is the best at utilizing both of these supports, IMO. I love Nami far too much to give up playing her, but before I picked her up I played Sona all the time as well. So cool to see someone proving that even these older, simpler enchanters can have high skill expression along with the 200 years champs.

    @JTY-mm5vy Рік тому

    Sona used to be top-tier sup and mid back in the days (later on to the top lane). But starting from 2014, most of the changes on her are nerfing (more than 15 nerfs).
    Sona's Q damage and AP ratio were reduced dramatically for patches, and later on the mechanism of targeting enemies that were in range but not in vision; her shielding and minimum damage blocked were reduced. After she showed up in World Esports, her E's bonus speed AP ratio was reduced and increased cool down, and W's healing AP ratio was reduced. And months ago, the riot also removed the mechanism of power chord resetting ward attack.
    RIP

    • @JTY-mm5vy
      @JTY-mm5vy Рік тому

      The reason why Riot talks about nerfing Sona is what they call 'unbalanced.'
      I would assume Riot thinks our Sona's existence is more unbalanced and scary than some recent champions. I do not want to specify champions, but just recall your experiences with those new champs; there are way too many times you have no potential to outplay them because they are just designed better and OP in general, and they require very little mechanics as well, and people love to play them.
      I always hear ppl claim that Sona is also a low mechanics champ. Yes, that is true. However, no matter how fed she is, she can easily get outplayed and punished. In comparison to some champions, you still lose even if you had two items and level leads on them -- they just deleted you, and there is nothing you can do. So if Riot is claiming nerfing champs like Sona for the sake of balancing, then why are they making those champs that are way more OP?

    • @JTY-mm5vy
      @JTY-mm5vy Рік тому +1

      Theoretically, a game developer would be beneficial for games if they make the game fun instead of make it balanced. When the game is more fun, ppl wants to play more. However, nowadays the game is serving for esports. No matter it is the existence of tower plates, bounty, souls, etc. All those are here to level up the competitiveness of the esports match. Thus, it affect our normal players game as well, as we been forced to play the game as the pro game was paced. For example, no matter what kind of meta champ you playing, you MUST go for soul fight, you must not given the shutdown gold...
      Come on. We are here to play a GAME. We are not here to play fxxxing esports. Do you developers know how stressful and tired players are in soloque?(or even norms). ppl are already stressed out in lives, and now come to rift for some fun. We are supposed to play and do whatever we WANT IN the GAME. Whatever play style, no matter if it is top Sona, mid Sona, or JG Yummi. But players in the League would never get such experience. Instead, what do players get from this competitively designed esports serving game? Endless pressure because we been forced to play our ROLE in order to win. We players must sacrifice our freedoms and creativity in order to win the game: We have to follow the Winning formula to win lanes, win early games, mid games, late games, take objectives, take dragon fights, farm safely, don't make mistakes...
      Do they really know what's the reason why most ppl now only play Arams? Only because Arams has a little bit more freedom left behind for us. Similarly, ppl drop champions like Sona because we had no good experience on her most of the time. I had met way too many Sona one trick give up playing her recent years, and it is really a shame.

    • @JTY-mm5vy
      @JTY-mm5vy Рік тому

      A healthy flow should be those developers make the design and give players an initial guide to inspire people to try it on, and then professional gamers play the games to analyze the changes, designs, crate tricks, and play styles that are beyond the original planning. So the game will be fun. The developer team then gains ideas from our players for the next design and adjustment, while players gain new experiences from the next design. However, for League, developers only force ppl to play in a certain style, and others will soon be forbidden. For example, Top & mid Sona, Top smite Janna, sup mid duo with Jg trick, and more. Back to Sona example, you Sona, you are a SUPPORT champion because you must be, and you must stay bot and stay away from mid and top. That's how Riot is teaching people how to play games. It seems like those developers have limited abilities to balance champions, so instead, they refuse any feedback from the community, either reworking or trying to destroy those play styles.

    After seeing this video, everything you say is exactly as it is. As an ex Sona main (3rd most played champ as of now) I've lived through a lot of problems with people that just hate the champ, in some instances to the point my own team bans it. Some people (mostly toxic folks) really despise her.
    But I didn't really care. I really liked Sona even though all of my most played champions are not at all like her, like all my masteries come from engage supports/tanks/juggernauts/junglers with some exceptions for supports like Morgana. I really like Sona even though she is hard af to make her reliable in general. Positioning is key but even then you will just explode from damage and now it's even worse. I haven't played her much anymore but from time to time I go back and play mostly her because of her uniqueness, and I love her DJ skin, ethereal track is godly gorgeous and helps me relax while playing. I usually just turn off every sound in game and just let the music go on.

    My favorite Sona dopamine hit is when the enemy team is safely running away from a teamfight they would lose, and then you press E allowing your team to catch up slightly and apply CC which results in a massive snowballing effect for your team.
    Sadly I can't play her anymore, because lately there are too many champs that can effortlessly one-shot her eg: Pyke, Kayn, Yone,etc..

    For some reason I find Sona the funniest support to play currently. I have been playing it on brazilian diamond and master with 60% plus win rate. I have tons of fun baiting because people go wild to chase sona, also dodging skill shots with my 400-500 speed (I love playing need 4 speed jhin on urf and dodging all skills, it's so fun), plus being able to stop the damage of a burster by 60% (passive + exhaust). I also love making assassins feel useless (trauma as an adc main of getting bursted if I lightly mispositionate). And I'm also able to consistenly engage offering 4s of 50% slow and 1,5s of stun, which is 6,5 of cc that is enough to make the target out of position and dies if I have a carry around. I feel this champion is so complete and her weaknesses can be overcomed with knowledge of the game, enemy decision prediction and skill. Pretty cool to hear someone talking about the strong side of this champion

    Definitely a video that does justice to us Sona mains. I really like you aggressive your playstyle is. As for presence of mind, i find it more comfortable to run resolve as secondary tree on runes. Bone plating + the rune that gives heal and shield power make the landing phase sooo much more comfortable. I do agree that presence of mind feels right but you can definitely play without it (tear and mana Regen item kind of make up for it but not really) especially with the new blue buff that spreads to everyone now. I just tend to prefer not taking presence of mind for more utility.
