Compiled Feedback & Questions on DJ Sona
First of all, please check this FAQ for price and release date. Basically:
Discounted price on release most likely 1900 / 1950 RPKatey deconfirmed this- A few more months before release, meaning probably during Q2 2015 (1st April to 30th June).
I've been reading most of the feedback on the new skin, both here, PBE forums and reddit, and the below is a list of the popular requests / questions that players have for the skin. There are some issues that I am confident are bugs so I have not included them below (default Sona music playing in the background, /toggle not working etc.). I would really appreciate if there can be official Riot response to the questions!
-
Voice There's quite a bit of complaining about the direction of the VO that Riot decided to give DJ Sona. Riot has already responded that it is done on purpose. Most likely will not change as it will be a pretty big project, and not all people dislike this change.
-
Helmet There are 3 types of feedback on this: full helmet is ugly, toggle helmet appearance, half helmet is ugly. Much as I support this but at this stage of production I doubt there will be any major changes to the design, especially on an issue that the community has differing opinions about.
-
Removed idle animations This is more of a question than request, but as per this thread, could anyone confirm whether it's a bug or intentional?
-
Soundless Joke, Taunt and Laugh Also referenced in the same thread as above. One of the things I liked about Sona was how, unlike any other champions, she used music to joke, taunt and laugh. I was very surprised when I realized that these sound files are missing on ultimate music-themed skin for a music-themed champion. Please tell me that this will be added in the future. It's especially weird for her joke, where the system seems to fail, but music plays on regardless.
-
Volume of background music Pointed out here, and also something I noticed in the preview video, her background music is too soft. Since the music is the major selling point for this skin, I hope that there will be a way to make her music more prominent, without having to change volume settings every time you switch from this skin to another skin/champion. A separate volume control for Sona's music would be a good option.
Anything else I should add?
