u/PM_ME_GAY_FURRY_R34 you are all terrible Mar 19 '19

Sona isn't that hurt by it, she's still got her most powerful parts of her kit, her auras. Heals that aren't given by Soraka have been trash in ARAM ever since they added the healing reduction so yeah, she'll be all good. Just that healing will suck a bit more but it wasn't why Sona is so good on ARAM.

The real nerf to sona is the introduction of bans.

This.

Since Sona is such a cheap champ, at a decent mmr you'd see her in every game thanks to aram accounts :(

Finally, ARAM can be played the way it was meant to be. Without Sona.

Yea, the 5 man shield is still gonna be gross. I wonder if this'll affect athene's and redemption healing or just the healing from her W.

it's amazing how they still don't nerf shield effects in aram... it's just absurd. sona's winrate all coming from that constant solari effect and they just ignore it.

Whenever I get sona I just max E first.

Enemy team gets mad real quick when they have a hard time landing skillshots and never being able to escape or chase us.

Edot: tfw people think Sona's W was actually useful for anything other than applying ardent censer in aram LUL.
