This clearly indicates that there is a terrible bond between Ivern and Sona that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Sona has a much lower diffuclty than Ivern. That means you don't need to be careful when lining up Sona comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing on the same side, Ivern players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to to do a lot of AP damage. When paired, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by aligning Ivern and Sona together, you will not be providing your other allies a great deal of engage potential. Make sure to include other champs on your team that helps cover this relative hole in their kit.

Regardless of your Sona ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
