Champion Page Discrepencies v2
I first brought this to the attention of @RiotSupport on Twitter. They told me to send a support ticket and also directed me to Site Feedback(now renamed to Boards Feedback.)

I sent a ticket, they said they'd fix it, but that was 3 weeks ago and so I posted it on the Boards as well, IN THE EXACT PLACE THAT @RiotSupport TOLD ME TO POST IT.
Whelp, the Boards Mods didn't like that either and instead of just fixing the problem, they hid it(again) and told me to repost it here as a bug. Except the problem is that IT IS NOT A BUG.

sigh So with that quick history lesson of Rito's bureaucracy and sweeping problems around INSTEAD OF JUST FIXING THEM out of the way, here we go yet again...
Sona's champion page has several errors regarding her kit, including both incorrect and missing values on her abilities. Her page has been incorrect for more than 15 months now, which is simply flabbergasting. I'll go down the list of errors in order:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/pika310/Sona%20Page%20Issues%201_zpssdvjwihh.jpg
- Hymn of Valor's cast range value is incorrect. Its listed value mistakenly says 825, when it factually has a value of 700 units range.
- The base values for Hymn of Valor's secondary active(it is not an aura, more on that later) are completely missing. It just says '0' where it should have the bases listed.
- The base values on Aria of Perseverance's secondary active's "shield"(again, these are NOT auras) are also missing. Like Hymn, this also says '0' where the bases should be listed.
- Just like the above 2, Diminuendo's AP scaling scaling is also missing and once again just says 0.

- The cast range on Song of Celerity is incorrectly listed as '360' when it should say 350, just a minor 10-unit mistake here(it should also be noted this spell is also not an aura.)
- All of the values on Song of Celerity are missing: both the bases AND AP scalings of both the ally-half and self-half of the active say '0' instead of their actual values.
- This last one needs Rito confirmation as it's uncertain if this is an error or not. Crescendo's cast range is listed as 900, but Fearless has repeatedly stated verbatim that its hitbox is unchanged which would factually make the range 1000 if this is actually true. However, countless players have repeatedly stated a VERY noticeable change in the hitbox of it being smaller in both width AND length than before she was gutted in the 4.13 patch nerfs. It's already been confirmed that Fearless made several other undocumented secret shadow nerfs to Sona including, but not limited to a minus 2 base AD reduction and two separate(now reverted) range nerfs to Hymn of Valor. I would be grateful if a more trustworthy employee can confirm whether the champion page is wrong(and in turn countless credible Sona mains stating otherwise); or the far more likely answer that Fearless repeatedly lied to the players(again) and Crescendo's hitbox IS IN FACT smaller than pre-4.13.
Now onto the matter of the incorrect usage of the word 'Aura' in relation to Sona's current "kit." Her current spells do not use auras, their correct classification would be 'activated effects' as they do not meet all of the basic criteria necessary for an ability to be defined as an 'aura' according to the English language of gaming terms. Those criteria are as follows:
Auras have four basic characteristics:
They are AoE spells, based on the position of the caster, otherwise known as point blank area of effect (PBAoE) spells.**They are instant cast, and have _no cooldown._****They have an _infinite duration,_ as long as the affected target is within range of the caster, and the caster is alive.**They are not dispellable.
