DJ Sona's initial song when starting a match

DJ Sona

So, I'm not sure if this was posted yet, but I was talking with one of my Rioter buddies, and he told me to bring it up here :D

Sona's initial song when starting up a game with her ultimate skin will be Kinetic, and then switch to Concussive, Ethereal, and back to Kinetic using /toggle, as seen in the link included.

However, I thought it might be a bit more awesome if we had a little more control over which song she could start with, and then continue the loop as normal.

How could this be accomplished? By the same method we could dress up our poros in the Poro King game mode of course! Simply by selecting one of the 3 DJ Sona icons, you would be selecting which of the 3 songs you would start the game with. If none of the 3 icons are selected, default back to Kinetic.

Of course this isn't necessary at all, but I thought it would be a nice touch ;)

Sounds like it would use a version of the same exact tech used for poros. Wouldn't even have to be built from the ground up. I believe this would a relatively simple change, but would be very much appreciated.

I could see that working with a bit of tech between the client and the game. I like this idea a lot!

im not surprised if riot jumps at this idea, since it would guarantee purchases of the icons as well as the skin, so people can control the starting song. money talks.

I'd rather like it if the splash art of DJ Sona during the loading screen matched the icon I was using.

No offense, I think the skin is great, but if I had to pick a favorite form, it'd probably be either Concussive or Ethereal, which is why I'm a bit bummed out that I have to stick with seeing the Kinetic splash art during the loading screen and even the Sona icon in-game.

How about instead of having Kinetic, Concussive, or Ethereal we use Darude - Sandstorm?

I personally like the idea of a pop up at the beginning of the game asking which tune she should start with more than I like the idea of doing it based on icons, but any way I could choose the starting song would be great.

I think the only reason I don't like the icons for the start is because I want the Kinetic boarder best but I'd rather start with Ethereal since it's the only appropriate feeling time for the song, imo.

Like this idea, but tbh I just want to be able to buy her at this point.

I get where you're coming from because I'm not at all a fan of the Kinetic (techno) style, and Concussive (drum and bass) sounds the most-suited to the beginnings of a game. Ethereal (ambient) is a great early-game cool-off after the hype-up of Concussive.

Still, that's a lot of work for something like that, and I plan to buy the skin. If I were a programmer, I wouldn't want to invest weeks in that one.

This is actually a good idea...I'm also glad you posted it with a better idea than mines XD. I was also wondering if they where going to let us start out with different modes of our choosing, but I completely forgot about the poro icons being a thing. The only was I could think of was having each mode be a skin selection before the start of the game.

I was hoping for something like the last song you played is the one you start with next time, kind of how the client works with skins in champ select... but your idea is great and I would be happy with either... Your idea will prolly work better if someone switches alot, I'm not sure I would be /toggling tons after the newness wears off unless group members request it... I already like concussive best from what I've seen and that is what I'll be using most of the time because of the music as well as the model... also that way will work if I ever decide to switch icons for different events...

I think it's cool that we could swap DJ Sona form at any level during the game without having to wait for her to level up. However, I think it would be so much more flexible and better if we could swap her song to go with any of her form as we like. For example, I really like the look on Ethereal, but to be honest I like the Kinetic song better, so it would be awesome if we could switch to Ethereal form, and have the Kinetic song playing. That would be totally awesome. I've seen cases on Youtube gameplay videos where a DJ Sona player is on the Ethereal form, but other teammates requested for the Kinetic song, the DJ Sona player had to swap song according to request but mentioned that he/she prefer the ethereal form. So it came to my mind that if song changing was an option that would make DJ Sona even better.Sona
