Tips for laning against mage supports in low gold
So mages like Xerath, Brand and Mel have been a serious problem for me. Obviously Sona generally scales harder than them so if you can scrape through the lane you can generally win. But I'm commonly being burst or poked down relentlessly in lane and losing tower or feeding before I have a chance to scale.
Roaming doesn't help because I feel like they oppress my adc just as hard and then they fall behind. So I'm looking for tips to finish laning phase in a more nuetral position, because as it stands right now, if the enemy support is a mage, I more often than not lose the game.
For context I have a 20% winrate against Mel, a 33.3% against Brand, 0% against Xerath, and 50% against Vel'Koz so a coin flip. The only exception is 66.7% against Lux. My Sona winrate in ranked is 55.6% with an average kda of 2.1/5.3/16.8 over 172 games, so i feel like I'm generally holding my own pretty well in other cases.
