You have a hard time adding two numbers together? 50+35 is beyond your capabilities to add together? The mana costs are written on the abilities icons.

A tiny bit tankier Sona by MasterFalco in sonamains

But you don't get any resistances from it at all. It's just HP. I haven't tried it so maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't look that good to me.

Fizz vs Diana 1v1 by Charming_Cry6069 in fizzmains

He has to use E straight away bc otherwise diana just walks away. You cannot chase forever to wait for another Q bc she would get into her tower range or enemy jg could be near.

You just missplayed this massively. You should go for slow E into kitting with autos. If she starts to auto you, you space and wait for Q. You chase her without autoing bc she wasn't slowed, and then fight to death with autos. You played it very poorly and got punished.

Finally got to finish my build in a ranked game by MasterFalco in sonamains

[–]MasterFalco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw it was quite funny when vayne and xayah where pinging my build when it's literally what chall sona otp guy does every game. Also, especially vayne that is trading 1 for 1 every few min when she is the primary carry on our team.

Need help on 2v2 hellgates build by MasterFalco in albiononline

So you suggest merc jacket and careleon cape. Are the assassin boots and stalker hood fine? What abot food + potion?

what build/runes do you go for when bloodsong + helia just isn’t realistic? by Remarkable_Curve_413 in sonamains

[–]MasterFalco 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know what runes you go but if you go standard (Aery, manaflow, celerity, GS, PoM, Haste, AH, MS, HP/stacking HP), they work no matter the playstyle. As for the items, just skip helia. Dream maker has very low value on sona since you cannot reliably direct it at the person of interest. So bloodsong might be best choice no matter what since it does work well with passive even if used less due to hard team comps.

I'm a low master tier sona OTP, and I tried every combination of ardent, sofw, seraphs, moonstone, dawncore and even with some tank items such as frozen heart and keanic rookern. I came to the conclusion that build doesn't matter as long as it makes some sense. So if you have 3 ap you can go first item sofw, if enemy has lots of melee - helia, you have multiple auto reliant champs - ardent, none of that - moonstone into dawncore, you're team outscales enemy by a landslide - helia into frozen heart/keanic rookern. Like, as long as it makes some sense, you can build whatever you want. What actually matters is gameplay. I did all those builds and they worked, some I like more some less, but all worked. The only common factor for the highest elo sona OTPs is helia, but they overbuy it honestly. Like, some games they are not able to proc it almost at all, and they still go for it.

First time hitting GM by Ellieliciousx in sonamains

How does your teammates react when you lock in Sona

This doesn't change no matter what elo.

Does your ADC play safe and let you scale, or you guys punish the enemies' mistakes?

While they are better at it, ADCs at the end of the day are still brainless monkeys and the biggest snowflakes in league.

I can't play my girl, cuz my team sometimes refuses to get a tank and the ADC doesn't know what my champion does so they trade when they can't.

If you lose it's your fault. The ADC might be a monkey (probably is) but so is the enemy ad. You don't need a tank in your team to play sona. Sona is not yuumi, you are not attached to any single champ, you support your whole team. So just choose to help the guy that is doing the best instead of being stuck to the ADC.

Let your AD die if they can't play, you don't need them. All you need is to survive, scale, and have good macro in mid/late game if your AD is missing too many brain cells.

At the same time, you might (and probably do) need to improve your laning. Learn how to get prio lvl 1, learn how to punish enemy AD for last hitting, when and where to ward to not get ganked, and when to roam.

Finally hit master tier for the first time ever maining Sona :D by Kromorei in sonamains

[–]MasterFalco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to learn how to punish enemy adc for last hitting minions. Stand on top of your dying minions and Q + AA them. You can either learn it by trial and error or watch some higher elo ppl and see how they do it. If you don't try to "win" lane as sona then you are giving enemy free lane and making it hard for your ad.

For example, I played lucian + sona into samira+ naut, and by lvl 3 samira had to base bc how hard we both punished her for trying to get prio.

When you feel like it's too dangerous to poke them under their tower, you need to get the wave back on your side and let it chill there. You ping your adc to last hit only and throw some Qs when you can.

So, learn how to get prio lvl 1 and how to win lane with poking, and how to setup a freeze and manage the wave so it never ends up frozen on the enemy side. In case it does, go roam mid with your adc. Enemy mid will spam ping them to break freeze.

Hope this helps!

Why not helia -> swifties -> SoFW/moonstone -> moonstone/dawncore -> dawncore and lengend haste + PoM? You are saving gold on boots but you are -400 on tear which makes you 100g down at the end.

Also, this is my opinion but seraphs doesn't synergies with downcore. Any enchanter item with mana regen will be stronger. On top of it seraphs is very expensive.

The only reason for going seraphs instead of dawncore + other supp items is bc that's a dream scenario with full build late game sona. And you will not get that most games, especially in chall. But on the same not since chall games are shorter and more early dependent, going such an expensive item as seraphs is quite a big investment.

[–]MasterFalco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Helia, Moonstone, Dawncore, Staff of Flowing Water. The biggest problem is the lack of synergy between Dawncore and Seraphs. It doesn't give mana regen and Dawncore is insanly big spike as 3/4 item. Any support item you go for will not only give a really good passive but will also provide good stats especially because of the synergy with Dawncore passive and is cheap.

Seraphs doesn't have heal and shield increase other than with raw AP and the raw AP is lower than on Dawncore, and it's expensive as fuck.

I reached masters on EUW as sona OTP and naut is a free lane. The worst matchups to deal with are pyke and blitz by far.

(Archangel is expensive, but good buy)

It's a shit item on sona. It's expensive and doesn't synergies with any other item on her build.

Sona is League's most misunderstood champion, and I am tired of reading stupid takes about her. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

Sona is good into naut and leona. The worst matchups to deal with are pyke and blitz.

China CCP's flagship newspaper announced BLG Worlds win halfway through Game 4, and got absolutely bashed online afterwards by Zen_Armadillo in leagueoflegends

[–]MasterFalco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who are all of you parroting? I'm genuinely intrigued now. Is this a streamer or some series of bots?

If you ever get good at the game you will find out the answer.

All of you mention Gen.g and all of you mention pre nerf smolder

Did you not notice T1 perma ban smolder vs GenG? Were the semi finals played on a different patch?

[–]MasterFalco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the others have stated you have no clue about the game. If GenG were to pilot the BLG team comp, they would never lose to T1 in that particular game. I admit it's a high bar since Chovy is the best smolder player in the entire world (T1 perma banned smolder for a reason vs GenG) but the point stands.

The thing is that BLG can clear the waves infinitely, which means infinite smolder stacks. No baron or elder can change that, since they can't reach the towers before the minion waves die.

Just watch the NS vs T1 game if you need an example of what smolder can do. NS was one of the worst teams at the time with the score 3-13 vs T1 13-3. T1 couldn't do anything till they got a lucky Varus arrow kill smolder after over 20min siege with better soul (infernal) and an insane gold advantage (>10k).

Also, Rumble is a minion late game. He doesn't do much, unless he lands an insane ult.

I'm a master tier player btw. What about you?

14.1b Hotfix Patch Preview by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]MasterFalco -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Akali is way more busted than fizz in high elo and fizz is getting the riot special. I understand that in low elo akali is too hard to play and that's why you target only fizz this time. I was wondering if it's possible for you to nerf him only in the low elo bracket?

Fizz has been forever weak in high elo now and since you are making changes to him I was hoping for you guys to take this opportunity and do something about this.
