A couple of weeks back, League of Legends developer Riot Games revealed that support champion Sona, the Maven of the Strings, would be getting a "mid-scope" soon, which the studio was aiming to ship with League of Legends patch 11.16. Now, that mini-rework has indeed hit the game's testing grounds for the 11.16 cycle, so we've got a good idea of what's headed the champ's way.
It's worth noting that this isn't a full champion rework, instead being intended to replace Sona's less rewarding "mana refund mechanic with something that Sona players will be more excited about" – however, there are still some key changes coming up that mains will want to get a look at. As reflected in the changes posted on Surrenderat20, the biggest change on the way for Sona with the patch is a new ability haste aspect to Accelerando in her passive, Power Chord. With the changes, she'll gain stacks of ability haste from "using her basic abilities well".
When this rises to 120 stacks (or 60 basic ability haste), Sona won't keep racking them up, but instead she'll see the cooldown of her current ultimate decrease. This will be by 1.5 seconds, going by the changes currently in for testing, though this could alter a little before the patch drops n a few weeks' time.
