Blitzcrank matchup: Blitzcrank is a bigger threat in lower ranks due to how unpredictable he can be. His ultimate destroys all shields and his hooks reach the furthest. Like most engage champions, he can roam effectively and apply pressure to your other lanes. He is extremely good at contesting objectives. In mid to late game, never ward alone, as this clanker is most definitely waiting or you to make that mistake.

Nautilus matchup: Nautilus is your hardest level 1. He essentially has two abilities due to his passive root combined with a distance hook. He will play around bushes and looks to flank. Strong roaming potential so ping your teammates when he's missing. Point-and-click CC ultimate at level 6 is just the cherry on top.

Leona matchup: Leona has a point-and-click CC kit. If you get caught, she'll attach onto you like a bug. Spacing wins games. Use your E's bonus movement speed, which lasts for 7 seconds, to your advantage when poking her. At level 6, you need to chill and play safe.

Thresh matchup: Not much special to say about Thresh. He's a hooker but considerably weaker than the others mentioned. He has kill pressure with Flash + Flay, so be cautious of that. He can save his ADC from nearly any situation with lantern.

Pantheon matchup: Take defensive runes with Bone Plating, or position well to avoid getting flashed on. His entire purpose revolves around killing you at level 2-3 with a point-and-click stun. Play safe and farm. If you do, he has nothing to play for in bot and will roam. At level 6, his ultimate makes him a big threat.

Nidalee matchup: Plays for bush control. Runs at you to poke and then dashes away. If you just chill early, Nidalee will fall off hard and has to perma roam to be useful.

Elise matchup: Elise is a pseudo-hook champion because of the range on her Cocoon. She spikes hard at level 3 and bursts you down. Play behind minions. However, she falls of really hard once you start getting some items.

LeBlanc matchup: They have high base damage, get deep vision, and don't really fall off.

Anivia matchup: Has so much CC and damage that you don't want to trade with her early. Late game, she really zones your team and prevents anyone from reaching her carries.

Lux matchup: A lot of poke early on prevents Sona from stacking her passive easily, forcing her to use mana on expensive W early.

Rell matchup: Either a hit or miss pick against you—depends on the operator. Spacing wins games. Use your E's bonus movement speed, which lasts for 7 seconds, to your advantage.

Bard matchup: Annoying.

Seraphine matchup: Matches you throughout most of the game.

Swain matchup: You're dead if gets a hold you. Spacing wins games. Use your E's bonus movement speed, which lasts for 7 seconds, to your advantage.

Maokai matchup: They're listed as one of the best Sona counters, but their only play is to Flash engage on you or punish Sona's bad spacing. Once you understand that, the matchup becomes simple. Proper spacing means they have no opportunity in lane. And with no plays in lane, they're going to tilt and take bad roam timers.

Taric matchup: They're listed as one of the best Sona counters, but their only play is to Flash engage on you or punish Sona's bad spacing. Once you understand that, the matchup becomes simple. Proper spacing means they have no opportunity in lane. And with no plays in lane, they're going to tilt and take bad roam timers.

Tahm Kench matchup: You're dead if gets a hold you. Try to play for bush control. He will dive you.

Alistar matchup: Their only play is to Flash engage on you or punish Sona's bad spacing. Once you understand that, the matchup becomes simple. Proper spacing means they have no opportunity in lane. And with no plays in lane, they're going to tilt and take bad roam timers.

Lulu matchup: Falls off late.

Zyra matchup: A lot of poke.

Karma matchup: Tough early, but will fall off late if someone buys Serpent.

Vel'Koz matchup: A lot of poke. Use your E's bonus movement speed that lasts for 7 seconds to your advantage.

Neeko matchup: Predictable playstyle. Look at the scoreboard to know if they're cosplaying a minion on the map.

Braum matchup: Their only play is to Flash engage on you or punish Sona's bad spacing. Once you understand that, the matchup becomes simple. Proper spacing means they have no opportunity in lane. And with no plays in lane, they're going to tilt and take bad roam timers.

Sylas matchup: Looks to all-in early. His only winning condition.

Senna matchup: Immobile, low health and very low impact roaming. You can even out-trade them in lane by going Triple Tonic, Jack of All Trades, double adaptive.

Yuumi matchup: Annoying but easy late.

Poppy matchup: Predictable playstyle. Free stacks. Might roam a lot, ping where she's going.

Morgana matchup: Very predictable, slow tempo.

Xerath matchup: Stays behind due to his builds being so expensive as support.

Hwei matchup: Overloaded kit, but stays behind due to his builds being so expensive as support.

Brand matchup: Take it easy against him.

Syndra matchup: Probably filled OTP mid?

Janna matchup: Threat due to her roaming capabilities. Match or ping her roams.

Galio matchup: Predictable playstyle. Free stacks. Might roam a lot, ping where he's going.

Rakan matchup: Free stacks.

Zilean matchup: Easy lane but game will be tough if enemies have a GIGA fed laner elsewhere.

Malphite matchup: Free stacks.

Renata Glasc matchup: Slow casts, easy to dodge.

Nami matchup: Better early to mid but not a threat.

Milio matchup: Not a threat.

Soraka matchup: Can't fight her if she lands Q's but she won't be that impactful later on against you.
