Fix Sona's Robe Design

In the recent Sona visual nerfs, they removed the Treble Clef design from her robes and replaced them with Bass Clefs.

This is a Treble Clef:

It is used by most instruments, Soprano and some Alto ones. Including Sona's Etwahl. They were appropriately placed on Sona's original in-game model's dress design. They are also visually apparent in her current splash art.

This is a Bass Clef:

As you can guess, it's used by Bass instruments and other lower octave tools. It does not belong on Sona's model and is extremely offensive and disgusting to her character.

Seriously Riot, get your act together. Her original in-game model designer clearly knew what they were doing. How could you not take a few moments to research what you're doing so as to not make these horrendous mistakes?

I prefered her older robes much more because of the treble clef. Sona is playing quite a high pitched instrument, wich makes the bass clef quite weird on her dress. Even if they're usually located at the lower half of a bar, they're also on her robe, and even funnier that they're doing a heart shape, made me surprised. http://i.gyazo.com/7ac3f6dacef084f0897fc175ff43aa4c.png

. It's cute, but it doesn't fit Sona at all. The treble clef design was also much prettier.

I think its still sad that Sonas current model doesn't shine as much as her older one. the robe is quite really dark, while on Sonas splash it's shining in a pretty gold tone. And still there no rioter who responses to this.. too busy at nerfing Sona

Honestly, the in-game skin designers take far too many liberties and stray much too far from the splash arts, sometimes to the point where champions don't look anything like they're supposed to. Some get to the point where you ask yourself, "Who is that?"

That's not to say splash art artists don't take liberties of their own. Sona had gold eyes in her original portrait, but in her current they were changed to blue. Mayhaps this was done to match Miku's eyes, who can say? I didn't play League at the time they did this, but I understand there were a lot of player complaints about it. I even still hear some to this day.

But Sona is all about that bass.

Good eye, never noticed that they were bass clefs, but I guess that was just because the dots are positioned low. (And I'm always using skins)

I want a red right here and now.
