Not going to happen because Riot basically made Sona into a support version of Kayle, where you sit around waiting to get gold to sit on before you ever really come into the fold. Even now, Sona's about as good as she can be without breaking Solo Queue around her like she did when her mini-rework first dropped.

If Sona was to ever be buffed to the point of feeling a bit more satisfying to play, she'd need a rework first. In other words: Don't hold your breathe.

Sona is supposed to be squishy. I know her base stats are a bit weak, but I highly doubt Riot would even buff her in her current state. Honestly, I, as a Sona main, don't even want her to be buffed because a) everyone else is going to play her and I don't want her to become meta, and b) she's squishy for a good reason. What makes Sona difficult is how you need to position yourself. You need to be close enough to ult the enemy carry, but you need to be far enough to not die from your lack of defense. You need to be close enough to your allies to buff them with your auras, both back- and front-liners. You have to be smart with your range, and giving Sona strong stats only makes it easy to stay alive when right in the middle of where you shouldn't be. I'd say her base model needs a VU first! ;3
