How would you add more skill expression into Sona's kit?

Everyone always complains that Sona is a faceroll easy champ, and I agree with this 100%, but at the same time I don't really see how you could add more skill to her. She plays her instrument and her allies benefits from her auras. I suppose we could make her 'q' into a skillshot, but other than that I don't really see what we could do to make her less annoying to lane against. Personally I wouldn't mind making her 'q' into a skillshot, but I'd like to see her get some QOL buffs in exchange like a shorter CD on her ult, lower mana costs, etc. Anyways, what do you think Riot should do with Sona when they finally rework her?

Make her QWE casts alter the effects of each other. R always applies power chord but consumes any stacks and reverts QWE to their basic forms.

This makes sona play like a musician, stringing notes together and hitting the biggest notes in a meaningful way. Her baseline effectiveness skyrockets but so does her difficulty, and her biggest weakness becomes a lack of response if engaged on before her rhythm picks up.

make all of her skills QWER function like her ult. its main damage/heal source is a straight skillshot but not as wide as her ult while maintains the aura effect to a smaller degree if you hit your ult like sound waves its a overall buff to her character. thats how i would rework her.

or make so her whole kit is like guitar hero where her ult isnt a ult in fact its your cast button for X combination of certain attacks that allows for so versatile effects not just damage heal speed up.

Um maybe make her damage skill shot based so it doesn't feel like you're vs keyboard cat. Leave the utility but make it less trivial for her to harass in laning phase.
