A more fleshed out Sona guide for split 2 with a main build and two situational ones!
More info about the builds and some extra items and components in the thread
@Allorim
Toplane is definitely in the first category, they start saying ff after one death and are passive agressive in chat after the second one. From my experience ADCs don't really surrender, their typical toxic behavior is to rage splitpush and refuse to group (even if you're winning)
@thebloomix
My friend keeps calling this transformation Gaslightix 😭😭😭
I wish they used it more to comfort and heal people rather than forcing them to be nicer if that makes sense
@RiotPhroxzon
Are we really going to end the season with this monstrosity dodging nerfs patch after patch or will anyone on the balance team play one single game of league of legends and realize this disgusting item needs to be hotfixed
@elo_santa
@RiotSupport
Singlehandlely saved solo Q because you can stop flame and typeracing in your team's chat so they have to play instead of flexing their ego
Aurelion Sol is the worst rework I have seen in years. They took away what made him unique and the champ is a ranged Kassadin so you rely too much on your midlaner and you're forced to lose the game past a certain point, he's so insanely unfun to face and statchecky I hate it
@RiotAugust
It's actually awful full poke Janna isn't even strong and you're nerfing it to promote max E playstyle, you're reducing her skillcap and risk/reward, you can't spam Q to poke randomly so the dmg buff is irrelevant especially given you max it last. Back to afk behind adc press E.
Weird how it's supposedly Men's mental health awareness month, yet the only hit tweets I see from men on my timeline are them commenting on / judging women's looks or attempting to control their bodies.
@RiotAugust
Idk why you're so obsessed with forcing enchanters to be fucking heal and shield bots and not letting them have poke nor skill expression, it's so boring and uninteractive.
@EG_Danny
Are we referrring to the game knowledge of the average reddit user (zero) or to the nazimods who look like they get paid by the balance team and remove posts based on their mood
@matchawishes
They literally picked every LGBT character too like... Caitlyn is lesbian, Fiora is very likely lesbian (shipped with Vi in sweetheart), Graves is gay, Taric is pan and the others are in gay ships that aren't official but popular (SettPhel being acknowledged by Riot) so 💀💀💀

What's crazy to me is that there are players who don't have any better to do than try to drag others in the mud 24/7 but that's just league community in a nutshell, funny to talk about ego when you feel permanently the need to shit on others and tell them they're bad
When people say "don't date league players because they're losers who neglect their partner to do nothing but play a videogame all day long" that's exactly what they mean
Laura and I broke up.
While I could sit here and try for hours to explain the reason why, it all comes down to one simple truth;
I’m not ready for a relationship.
From the get go, I told her that my career would be my first priority.
She always did everything she could to
@thebloomix
I was thinking it's possible she had a serious accident and her limbs were crushed / partially destroyed but those are somewhat functional and it would be simultaneously a way to have rep and show off Zephyr's advanced science and technology
@DaiBanino
Funny people will be defending this person as if it's ever okay to go completely mental and just int the game, you force the rest of your team to lose because you dislike your support?
This dude doesn't need a team he needs a therapist
Some Vel'koz changes based on some feedback I read, if you care about the details you can check the thread!
Also I'm interested to see what people think about it especially if they play the champion
I thought it is common knowledge that Sona created this keystone with the sheer power of her mind, however due to the amount of adc players flaming her, she decided they don't deserve it and that it would look better on her dress anyway
@Kapban2
It's too weak it should be buffed, but I don't mind it because I prio other components and if I have 250g left I can get it, it's an upgrade compared to before because you had no component at all
@thebloomix
It might be simply convenient because it made Stella more special to have her power tied to the ring.
The way I'd headcanon it is that they link their power to certain artifacts which make them way stronger but they are dependent on it for their magic
@RiotAugust
You'll have to explain someday why you're forcing every enchanter to play passive and to be a buffbot instead of rewarding them for playing aggro, then complain about players being too passive. What do you have against enchanters being allowed to poke or deal dmg in general?
@wolverene
@TemposLol
@KbkingLoL
@forestwithout
Yeah we get it every support player especially if they play enchanter is inflated 3000LP now since none of y'all are gonna do constructive criticism let's move on to another topic so we can maybe discuss something interesting instead
@JeevunSidhu
Could you fix the powerchord tracking on the buff bar? It feels so awkward to not have it. Using Sona's model feels unnatural if you've been playing the champ for long. Plus Sona's VFX is... quite colorful and it makes it harder to see it.
@Wingsofdreamix
It's really hard because they do a lot of different things and sometimes the powerlevel in the show is completely fucked or straight up incoherent
But I'd tend to think Stella and Aisha are the strongest after Bloom, and I'm not too sure for the 3 others
@arezx11
@Akaadian
It's literally a gamemode where ppl spam all keys on CD like apes and every toxic mechanic is multiplied by 10 because there is no cooldowns, you can't punish people or be punished for missing spells since they're up 2s later. Just spam your spells until they hit eventually
@AphroQiyana
Isn't "less effeminate champs" a way to say "no LGBT+ male champs" while trying to not sound homophobic? Given the context and knowing China...
@rachichu_
He will be able to publish a book featuring all of those half-baked apologies before he actually does something about his horrible attitude but np his fanboys think he is oppressed and in great distress
@RiotPhroxzon
Just one patch ago you nerfed damage upgrades for support and nerfed Sona's and Nami's dmg output in favor of power elsewhere because "there's too much damage creep in the game" and now you buff a bunch of champs who 100-0 ppl effortlessly with very little counterplay
Makes sense
@ahrigom
@Spideraxe30
^ on-hit is really fun for whack items and build diversity but I feel like it caused way too much harm, Katarina was a lot healthier before item rework, they can probably find a better way to give her a bit more build diversity through AP items instead
@JeevunSidhu
She feels a bit better and smoother to play, the stacking mini-game makes the laning more interactive, the only problem imo is that the stacking feels a bit gimmicky sometimes: first Sona is still weak in lane so you're kinda forcing trades willingly knowing you lose them (1/2)
Question of the day... what do you think is the strongest stat in the game? And what is the weakest stat?
You can make a top or have multiple answers, I'm curious.
Also I know many people will say movement speed is the best stat, I don't disagree but I want more varied answers!
@Sgtspacedad76
Vote for who you want but please not Nocturne. They want to keep his broken ass ultimate so the rework will be a buff I can see the aoe fear incoming leave this monstrosity the way it is right now
@JeevunSidhu
Thank fucking God. I know you think the ratio nerf is not important because it's hard to stack AP this season but it kills even more non full enchanter playstyles and builds and it feels worse, we care a lot about our ap ratios with the nerfs we got in the past.
@SAWARESEVEN
To be fair sports have women leagues because they consider men and women don't have the same physical capacities. But esports need women leagues to promote videogames around women, gaming community as a whole is extremely toxic and misogynist and doesn't leave much space for them
@emiliacosplay
Omg beautiful!! But tbh you are only chall because you play enchanters so like it's not a big achievement 🥸 I could be chall too but I play hard champions so I'm only silver I (almost gold but I lost 9 promos in a row cause of noob teammates)
@emiliacosplay
I literally had my ad running down 4 kills because we were behind even though game was winnable and they typed "I do that so we ff faster and don't waste time"
They care so much about not wasting time that they have 600 solo Q this split even though they're clearly hardstuck
@N4ni_N4ni
I played with DJ Sona this morning and I'm never picking this skin ever again it's fucking horrendous, her autos, powerchords and bolts look like toothpicks, it feels like you're playing a minion with a skin (didn't mean to make the minion joke on Sona but here we are)
@JeevunSidhu
I hope you won't go with the AP ratios nerf for Sona, those changes were horrible and will kill further her build diversity without affecting significantly her performance with her meta/common items. Slowdown accelerando and/or reduce it a bit (1/3)
Support difficulty tierlist
Left is skillfloor, right is skillceiling
Tiers are not equal because no champ is THAT hard to pick-up and nothing is braindead to master either
@JamicanBanana
You are the moment I admire your tenacity because you just keep playing even though your champ is simply awful. Don't be harsh with yourself and take a break if you need to.
@LoLUKN
There should be a way to choose the victorious skin you want so people can get the real victorious skins (Jarvan, Janna, Elise and Morgana) instead of whatever you dare to call what you've been releasing since season 5
@Taurhoes
I think not a single Karma main wants her to be a shieldbot. I'm sorry for you guys, it's insane that riot forces enchanters to be heal+shield+buff bots now instead of rewarding ppl for poking and doing aggro plays. Maybe start a riot like Sonamains...
I just removed ~80% of my friendlist on League.
I should have done it long ago but I felt bad about unfriending people because I tend to remember their names, even though I didn't talk to them or played with them for years or they quit the game long ago
14.10 Sona Guide: the shortest I've ever done
Helia procs on aery so you can get more stacks off per rotation if you juggle with auras. Let your allies tank most of the damage you give fat heals. Can be skipped if it's a bad game for it.
Plus some thoughts on no Seraph builds!
@coystites
@riotgames
@LeagueOfLegends
This one might sound crazy but I think you should be able to buy limited skins with honor 5 tokens. Not 1 skin per token obviously that would be ridiculous. 5 sounds reasonable, it still makes it extremely rare but if you want badly one of those and cant anymore you have a chance
@DestinNotDustin
@KingNidhogg
@RiotSupport
Yep it's a shitpost. It does look like an average ticket tho, except for the "few more dozen times" part. All they do is being polite and pretend they care about your ticket then make mental gymnastics to explain why they won't punish the person.
@Shafulyn
I beg every man who thinks this doesn't happen to play with a girly IGN especially if they pick enchanters or champs who are associated to women playerbase and see what happens
@KhaliDinoLoL
@JeevunSidhu
That's because it works on passives aswell and not only on actives now. That includes items such as ludens and sheen items. I agree that it feels worse when you wanna play around a lot of active items, but it doesn't seem weak overall.
Wow finally someone at riot games noticed support itemization doesn't feel good. Wonder if it has something to do with tanks having 4 (trash) items in total (2 being mythics) and enchanters paying 2300g to get a 0 agency 0 self impact item with EITHER 60AP or 15AH
The comment section is absolutely disgusting. See how eager league players are to be fatphobic because the only thing they can succeed to do besides being mediocre in a videogame is to hit gym to feed their ego. No amount of gym can fix your cavedweller faces and personalities.
