@Riot For how long are you going to keep ignoring Sona?

Master tier Sona OTPs can no longer get back to master. She one of the most garbage champion in this elo i ever saw, even Aatrox was better than her at least before this patch. NO ONE PLAYS HER HERE, i spent my entire time looking at EUW master tier ladder only to not find a single sona main.
I'm not expecting anything from this post, The Board isn't playing in master, the board also doesn't give a fuck about Sona even if they complain about being autofilled support and not finding a fun support, except when she's gamebreaking because she was buffed despite being strong in low elo then the main page is filled with Sona thread asking for her to be gutted.
So am i allowed to ask: WHEN ON EARTH ARE YOU GOING TO REWORK THIS CHAMPION? i'm so triggered to see evelynn and urgot being reworked when they are already played in all elo (yes there are urgot mains in master and challenger) then mordekaiser is being next and no offense to the mordekaiser mains that want him to be reworked but he is also strong, played in lcs, and is incredibly fun to play. And then we have sona, sitting as the worst support ever created right now and no one is going to understand because they have no idea how it is to play sona in master. The numbers are low as hell until you have 300 AP, she has the worst base stats, very low impact spells you nerfed the width of her ulti in season 4 and then she never came back anymore in lcs except when she was "buffed" ending up with 37% win rate in lcs and 58% win rate in plat+.
she was picked only for her ulti, a spell stunning 4 people for 1.5 seconds you have no supports that can do this then you nerfed the width and now it can hit like 1 or 2 people at best
Her gameplay is now feast or famin, i did some duoQ with Colzaor she doesn't build sightstone anymore, just rush sheen and hextech and try to cheese the lane to snowball how the fuck do you want us to climb with that?
You guys nerfed into oblivion all her numbers, her passive damage, her Q damage, her W healing, her E movemen speed, her R width you left nothing for the sake of no-counterplay spells and Aura. speaking of aura why the fuck is this still allowed after 7 years? nothing is wrong with Auras, supports in dota2 have all auras. Rubick has an Aura increasing magic resistance by 10/14/18/22% BUT A KIT REVOLVING AROUND AURAS CANNOT EXIST IN A DAMN GAME , it ends up non-interactive, with little counterplay, forcing sona to have little numbers, no one becomes happy with that
So aside the balance problems what else Sona suffers from? from the same thing maokai suffers making him reworked during the tank rework
"Low Satisfaction " i don't remember anything bringing satisfaction in sona's gamplay, except one-shoting a squishy champion with an AP build, but i don't think i signed to play that, if i wanted to oneshot someone i would just play 
"Generically Powerful" no niche, only viable when op becoming better than every enchenters at everything
"Rewarding Gameplay Mastery - As one of the lowest Mastery champions as far as win rate improvement over games played, there's very little reward offered to players who take the time to learn Maokai’s current kit" tell me it isn't true for sona
So what should be done? a sion lvl of rework to be viable at all elos None of those spells should remain like it is. The concept of an AURA support should be entirely deleted. Sona should be around the theme of Music and quiteness as she is mute, nothing forces riot to make her an aura support. Last time i checked Rhapsody in HON works perfectly fine around the music theme without having auras (except one)
i can't think of a single spell that should remain like they are, cresendo has 0 uniqueness, let's not talk about her Q and W, and E is a generic bonus of movement speed that has no down time making it completly braindead. Her passive is cool and great, but it suggests a kit with 3 spammable abilities which is by design a bad idea
Because yes let me be clear on a last point: no champion should be designed around low skill , there is a difference between skillcap and skillfloor ,look at warwick rework. He's still a beginner champion, his skillcap is low. But his skillfloor has been increased with his new Q and E decision making, the difference is that warwick is still a champion that you can pick up easily but you still need to think when you play him
Those "noob champions" should stop being a thing, ghostcrawler said that reworking those champions to be harder to play to balance them at all elos will make them lose their popularity, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT, do you have any idea of who're the most played champions?
, and they aren't played because they're broken
Lee sin is broken in master with 55% win rate and top 3 popularity with 3 or 4k games played. Even myself i played a lot of Lee sin because when you're autofilled jungle you have to pick the best to win which is why he's picked so much
But in plat+, or below lee sin is perfectly balanced which is why he isn't nerfed yet. So are you going to tell me that people pick lee because he's broken?
Low skill champions won't lose their popularity if they're reworked to take more skill, we already saw it with 
their mains are still playing them
People want to play fun champions, with fun kits and themes, they don't care if your champion takes skill or not, trash yasuo mains with 30% win rate on him will still play yasuo no matter what, i personally prefer high skill champions and yet i play Sona, why? because i love the music theme, her resonating voice and her personality.
AND speaking of her voice do not remove it, i saw a lot of people telling me that Sona's voice should be removed because summoners are no longer canon, idc about summoners being canon or not, find a way to make telepathy canon in sona's lore (which is outdated) because removing her voice is just unimagineable
Ardent Censer (A really really good enchanter support item after all the buffs it got)... That and the fact that once she gets to late game a properly played Sona can singlehandedly decide outcomes of late game teamfights due to her ridiculous utility uptime at that point...
, 
, 
that cover up her issues, Sona wouldn't really have much to rely on...
